Concluding ceremony came to a close with a half hour long garfa dance presented by children from institutions of Snehagiri sisters We wanted to keep the exhibition open for few more day but, since the strong winds that swept through this area wrecked havoc in the exhibition stalls pulling down the roofing and toppling down statues, we had to close . Even now people come and request to see whatever is left and regret that they could not come earlier. Though the fest is over the message which was conveyed will remain with the 30000 plus people who visited the fest. It was a wonderful and valuable ” gift of MST to the mother church”( Mar Mathew Moolakatt”)
