Vijayawada Utsav 2.0 opens with cultural performances and traditional dances

Vijayawada Utsav 2.0 opened at Punnami Ghat on the banks of the Krishna river in Vijayawada on Sunday.

Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu inaugurated the festival.

The event is organised by the Society for Vibrant Vijayawada with support from the state government and Tourism department, on the initiative of Vijayawada MP Kesineni Sivanath.

Performances included traditional dances and programmes promoting art forms that are fading.

The National Saras Mela also featured products made by women’s self-help groups from different states.

Organisers say the festival aims to showcase Vijayawada’s culture and heritage and strengthen its appeal as a tourism destination.

Naidu said it could promote local talent, tourism and economic opportunities for small traders.
