Organised by the Karnataka Tourism Department, the fest had about 20 artistes who performed the traditional 'Yakshagana' theatre, and drum dance 'dollu kunita', while apart from the street musicians, magicians, jugglers, caricature artists and painters, visitors had an opportunity to cruise around the lake with fly boards and jet skis.
There were also 20 stalls and a flea market selling organic produce and eco-friendly products, including terracotta jewellery, natural soaps, millet-based products and jute etc.
"As environment protection is a cause of concern, it is events like these that will create awareness among public and lead to greater sustainability," said state Information Technology, Biotechnology and Tourism Minister Priyank M. Kharge in a statement.
"It is great to see so many people participating in support of the cause. The fest is a community building activity to preserve Bengaluru's ecology," he added.
