New Delhi: Indians are really shining at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2025 in French Reveria. The Assamese mother-daughter Urimala Borua and Snigdha Borua have a tail from a small village in Assam and recently joined Kansa 2025 to join the Bandwagan, which represented their state and country.

The gown of Urmimala is based on the banyan tree which is the oldest tree in the world, which symbolizes our roots and fundamental qualities of man. Meanwhile, her daughter Snigdha wore an attractive gown with an Asian fan shape – which is a symbol of the vibrant cultural history of Asia. This dress is a love letter, which is the great beauty of Asia and a tribute to innumerable cultures. Between them, they not only represent their traditions but also show a universal festival of unity and understanding of the diversity of cultures.
Urimala said: “We should always run after our dreams.” She often talked about the rich culture of Assam and said that it should find a place on the world map.
