The recently concluded Mandu Festival was nothing like any festival I have attended before. Instead of external ornamentation, the festival that was held between February 13 and 15 heavily relied on the rustic natural heritage of the ancient fort town of Mandu, Madhya Pradesh. This makes sense when we look at the intent of the state government to posit it as a tourism destination propped up on the legs of its rich history and tapping into its potential for rural and wellness tourism — and to eventually get the tag of a Unesco Word Heritage Site that they have been batting for.
