The flashmod appeared 4 times all around Basantapur, near Himalayan Java, in front of Kumari Ghar, near temples and at Thamel indeed. The basic idea was to pick anyone from the massive crowd and sing a song by individual singer who got accompanied with many other participants afterwards and ended with great celebrations. The participants displayed placards about professional equality as well and made the event get grand success. The videos were made to which would soon be displayed on social media for more awareness.
