Seen in the image is a section of the audience at Open Air Theatre (OAT) during the visit of Dr. H. E. Heinrich Luebke (President of the Federal Republic of Germany).
A section of the audience at the Open Air Theatre. K. M. Kripanarayan writes in the 15th December 1962 edition of Campastimes, in his article titled ‘President Luebke Lays the Foundation Stone of I.I.T. Madras’, “The student gallery was packed to the full in spite of the Davis Cup Match”. Das Bundesarchiv from Germany has documented a video of the President’s visit to India. Titled Der Staatsbesuch in Indien, the technicolour video shows roughly two minutes’ footage of President Luebke in Chennai and IIT Madras. It can be seen that the students all turned out in white for the occasion.
