Flamingo FestivalThe Pulicat lake surroundings was turned into a
beehive of activity with tourists, children and local villagers arrived to
celebrate the Flamingo festival which kicked off to a colorful start at
Sullurpeta, Atikanithippa, Nelapattu and BV Palem locations in Nellore District
of Andhra Pradesh. The
annual festival rejoices in the arrival of waves of migratory birds to Indian shores to breed, nest and feed, presenting a feast for the eyes of birdwatchers. For decades, bird enthusiasts and visitors have come to Nelapattu Bird Sanctuary and Pulicat Lake to watch these birds wade and catch food in the shallow lake waters. This annual festival aims to attract tourists from the world over
and
bring people close to nature. The festival also had entertainment activities in the evenings.
