The Ministry of Culture has set the stage for a grand celebration at the Ganga Pandal over the next four days, featuring performances by renowned artistes. The line-up includes dazzling music and dance acts.
The cultural program will remain suspended from February 11 to 13 due to the sacred Magh Purnima Snan on February 12.
