To make the celebratory occasion truly vibrant in its truest sense, colors of mehndi' and rangolis' will mingle with the festive strains of shehnai' and the Army band', while the masters of chisel and the brush will create yet another repository of masterpieces and the wordsmiths will create vignettes of love, hope, joy, pain and angst. It will be a true rendezvous of tradition and modernity in totality.
The splendor of the festival is enhanced with the enthralling performances of the folk artistes of Rajasthan, Gujarat,Punjab and Haryana. One can enjoy the glittering view of fireworks displayed on all three day of the festival.
