  2. It will be a great event….!
    It is the biggest event being hosted by our beloved city after the 1924 Congress session..

    People of belgaum should take this opportunity to showcase our city & its culture to the world.
    Hundreds of families in our city have come forward to accomodate some guests at their houses during the event under the banner 'Athithi Devo bhava'. Its a nice gesture from the people of Belgaum.. I hope more people join in to make this event a memorable one…
