The inaugural day of Rajkot Lok Mela saw a record crowd, with more than 50,000 people attending the fair, which currently offers cultural displays and food stalls but no rides.
The Rajkot Lok Mela opened on Sunday with a massive turnout, drawing over 50,000 visitors to the event held at the city’s main exhibition grounds. The crowd, which included families and local tourists, filled the stalls showcasing regional crafts, food, and cultural performances. Despite the high footfall, the fair has yet to introduce amusement rides, with organisers stating that the rides will be added in the coming days. Organisers are optimistic that the continued interest will sustain attendance throughout the week.
