Friends and loved ones gathered in tranquil sessions to relax and unwind. Some families also brought chairs to sit in front of the water bodies and lakes, enjoying moments of calm and privacy. Meanwhile, some youths and children preferred to wade into the rain lakes for a refreshing experience, enjoying moments of fun and play in the water, splashing the lake's surface to send droplets flying.
