Kodai Vizha - Kodaikanal
Kodaikanal,
also known as "The Princess of Hill Stations," is a well-known hill
station in India with beautiful landscapes, breathtaking views, and pleasant
weather. The "Kodai Vizha" - Summer Festival, which is hosted by the
Department of Tourism, Tamil Nadu each year in the months of May and June,
draws thousands of visitors to the hill station from all over the nation.
Summer Festival
The
picturesque hill station hosts a large 10-day celebration at Bryant's Park and
the area around it to draw in a large number of tourists every year. A flower
show acts as an alluring factor during the summer festival. The Flower Show,
coordinated by the Department of Horticulture, contains structures of animals
or famous characters attracted by the public that are made of flowers as one of
the primary attractions, along with numerous vegetable sculptures. Aside from
that, numerous cultural activities such as rangoli contests and kabaddi
tournaments are organised, which is an extra advantage for tourists visiting at
this time. During this event, a cultural dance exhibition is held in which
artists from all across the state are invited to perform different traditional
dances from the state, such as bharatanatyam, Mayilattam, Oyilattam, and
Silambattam. The Tamil Nadu Tourism Department also lavishly enhances the
celebration by conducting boat races, traditional sports tournaments, and dog
shows.
Each year, the departments of Tourism, Forestry, Agriculture,
and Horticulture collaborate closely to organise this lavish event. The 58th edition of the Kodaikanal
Summer Festival has concluded, and the hill town is already looking forward to
welcoming all tourists in the forthcoming year.
