This ancient tradition is not only a cherished event for the locals but also attracts people from all corners of the globe.

Adorned with delicate paper flowers, these trays showcase both artistic craftsmanship and cultural heritage. The colors burst forth from every corner as these women proudly display their traditional costumes.
