To delight the food lovers, a two day Sankranthi special food festival was organized at the food courts where various harvest season special delicacies were served. Furthermore, the lawn was decorated with Scarecrows made by Sirigandha volunteers using scrapyard materials and colorful pinwheels that set a rustic mood.
