Myriad hues of spring come alive at fest

On the second day of the most awaited Spring Fest in Vatika, Sector 5, Panchkula, a large number of people gathered at the venue and appreciated the scenic beauty. The venue was decorated with beautiful flowers and people were spotted clicking pictures of the decorations and blooms. The entire ambience wore a cheerful look all throughout the day with people from all age groups and walks of life, enthusiastically participating in activities like dance competition and tattoo making.
Appreciating the colourful blooms, Shayamli Bhatiya, a homemaker and resident of Sector 15, Chandigarh, said, “It’s a beautiful fest and I come here every year to enjoy with family. I love the cheerful ambience and flower decorations.”
Sharing similar sentiments, Preet Kaur, a resident of Sector 5, Panchkula, said, “I have been coming here for a while now and really enjoy the hustle and bustle of this place. I love watching the cultural performances of different states and the huge variety of flowers.”
And for some it was their first visit. “I have recently shifted to Chandigarh and a garden fest is a new thing for me. I love the open spaces and gardens here as you don’t get to see all these things in big cities like Mumbai,” said Radhika Avasthi, a homemaker and resident of Sector 5, Panchkula.
“My daughter is participating in a dance competition so I have come here to encourage her,” said Ramesh Setthy, a resident of Panchkula.
