Talking to ANI, one of the members of Eco-Tourism Y. Dyaho said, "Tourism Department approached us to participate in Sangai Festival for the first time and here we are".
He said all the motifs, to the extent possible, are drawn from hill tribal villages. Explaining further he said, "only two statues were made up of plastic, the rest are only natural things".
He further said people wanted to buy everything on display.
