tourists and the local villagers. Visitors were delighted to experience all the folk art performances of Sundarban in one place as

The artists got a lot of exposure through the festival as their performances got published in the newspaper and social media

platforms. The artists have developed their skills and gainedexperience by participating in this festival. After getting exposure
and the opportunity to communicate with the visitors directly, now the artists are more eager to perform outside of their local

areas. The tour operators and the local villagers requested another weekend promotion of Sundarban in this winter, if possible
