The food court will tickle your taste buds. Try the Lebanese Food Stall out there and you will fall in love with it. The local cuisine of Chhattisgarh and other states is also present there to win over your hearts.
The entire festival is divided season wise. The decorations will leave you awed. Certain handicrafts are completely out the box, for instance a stall with artifacts made from sea shells was brilliant. Another quirky stall seen was by the Delhi based artist Ajay Kumar Samir who made special artwork inspired by Narendra Modi’s poems.
So here’s a glimpse of the vibrancy of the festival which will definitely make you pay a visit to the festival.
