The festivities start this coming March 4.

Bring your camera - For those who love photography, Jenadriyah offers a lot of photo opportunities. Watch traditional artisans like potters, gun smiths, wood workers, jeweler and weavers to name a few demonstrate their skill and their craft. Be swayed as the locals glide their guns and swords to the beat of regional drum music. Or, watch the performance of poets, musicians and stage dramas. There are also camel rides, mule wagon rides and house back riding for those who wants to try.

And when you got tired of the festivities, regional food and refreshments are available - for sale of course - everywhere in the area.
