Despite the chilly weather and rain being experienced in Dehradun for the past two days, the stream of visitors at the National Handloom Expo on Parade Ground has not diminished. Despite the rain on Monday and Tuesday the arrival of visitors remained unaffected.
The expo officer KC Chamoli said that the enthusiasm of visitors to the expo has remained as high as it was on the first day of the exposition.
Water-proof tents have been put up above all the stalls in view of the rain so that none of the vendors face any problem. In addition to crowds at the stalls selling various handloom and handicrafts items, visitos are also thronging the foodstall. A steady stream is visible at the food stall enjoying traditional Moong Dal pakoras in the cold rainy weather.
Various other food items are also being enjoyed by the visitors here. Food stalls selling dishes from different states have also become an attraction at the expo.
The national handloom expo was inaugurated by the chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat on December 25 and will continue till January 12.
Cultural presentations depicting the mountain culture of Uttarakhand are also being organised as part of the event.
