Chandigarh, February 23 The Rose Festival not only attracts Chandigarh residents, but also managed to grab the attraction of a number of foreigners. “I have come to India for the first time. I have been fortunate to see an Indian carnival,” said Kevin, a tourist from England.

A number of foreigners were seen visiting the festival and clicking photographs of roses and various plant samples on display. Salma and Nada from Sudan said, “The fest has been well organised.”

The Ride on a camel was also a favourite among the foreign tourists. “It is a unique experience,” said Catherine from Canada.

Dale Kenyon, a tourist from Canada has visited the rose fest regularly.

However, the tourists seem to be ambushed by urchins and beggars in the vicinity. “These beggars are irritating as they do not let us enjoy the festival,” said a lady from Canada.

Most of the tourists preferred to spend time exploring the festival. “We have come to see the people and observe their culture and tradition,” said Catherine.
