I visited this exihibition yesterday. Total waste of time. I asked a vendor to see if any samples were Available and was rudely told to buy it first and take it home and sample it. All vendors only had Dharawad Hapus. There is a small room which had a few different varieties but the signs were in Kannada which I cannot read and no one there to explain. Sorry state of affairs.
