Around 50 delegates from foreign countries have arrived. So far the reactions from the media people I got are very happy and this kind of experience is the first of its kind in entire India. It is the first of its kind where altogether 34-35 tribes are dancing and enjoying their traditional apparel, dress, customary and food items.”
