The Story Behind the Lights: When It All Started
The cultural program began a few years ago as a local effort led by the festival committee and leaders like MLA Narayan Goswami. The idea was simple: create a platform for cultural shows, bring talented artists to the town, and give residents a reason to celebrate together. From humble beginnings, it has quickly become an annual favorite, growing bigger and brighter each year with more stars and happy crowds.
