“I come here for these three days of the year. I really like the festival. It lifts the mood and vibe of Alsisar. We get to earn money by working for 24 hours in these three days. The amount we earn in three days is what we earn in a year. We have rooms to rent, too, for ₹4,000 a night. For the store, we order extra stock during the festival; cigarettes, water and Coke sell the most."
