Ailawng youth belting out the opening song.(invocation)
Commercial cultivation of anthurium flower is gaining popularity in Mizoram. in fact, quite a number of families of Aizawl are now engaged in its cultivation. The flowers are being exported to countries like Japan, New Zealand and Dubai. As of now, there are more than 500 green houses cultivating about 70 varieties of this flower.
This festival is organised every year in order to promote and encourage anthurium cultivation as an alternative means of livelihood in place of the wasteful jhum cultivation. It also adds more colours to the flora of the state.
