The festival is very colourful and the celebration starts with people in large numbers visiting the Temple of Goddess Kali inside Bahu Fort to seek Divine blessings. One can see a large gathering in and around the famous Bahu Fort which is a distinct landmark of Jammu. There are all sorts of entertainment and edibles for the kids and all. For enjoyment there are a number of temporary slides and turning boards organised during the festival. For eating, one can have local ice-creams, kulfi, malai-baraf, cane-sugar juice, gole-gapay, aaloo cholay, kachaloo, and jalaibi etc. There are balloons, cotton candy, and of course the entertainers like monkey walla and snake charmers. It is a treat and a good excursion for the kids.
