One of the highlights of the farm festival, being held in association with the Agriculture department, is a two-acre sunflower farm against the backdrop of the beautiful Western Ghats. Over 10,000 sunflower plants at the farm have painted the landscape yellow, providing the perfect setting for multiple selfie corners where visitors will be able to take photographs.
