According to reports, the highly popular palm festival started with more than 100 palmists from the entire village walking the streets with huge drum beaters and cymbals, singing folk songs and humming tunes. The festival is celebrated to create awareness about the protection of palm trees. The festival attracted a lot of people from the nearby villages as well.
