"We really enjoyed coming here, and would like to thank the tourism department," another attendee said.

Another organiser of the festival told that these activities help in the local development.

"We have totally employed local people here for the job. The Surinsar region was not getting that much exposure despite being such a great place. But, now the government is pumping money into it and it is helping in boosting tourism and local development. We need to organise more such events," he told ANI. (ANI)
