He further added that over a span of more than two decades, SONABYSS has evolved into a unique conglomeration of the colourful culture and traditions of the North Eastern India. The main attractions are the events like “Megataal” – the group dance competition, “Sonabyss idol” – the search for the signing sensation, “Mr. and Ms. Sonabyss” – hunt for the best persona, “Rock Concert”, the ultimate music showdown, and finally the “DJ Night” which compels everyone to step into their dancing shoes and dance away to the beat regardless of time.
