We booke 3 tickets worth Rs 1500/- from BookmyshowAs per the timings given reached the venue by 5 pm .But were highly disappointed to se the arrangements.Amidst huge chaos we managed to get our tickets but there was more disappointment on the way.The event started at 8pm(when it was supposed to get over)with some pathetic local band performing some metal.At thi spoint we saw crowd on its feet shouting the idiot to stop his show and refund the money.But the organizers were completely stupid and indifferent.The only good thing happened at the end when we finally got the lanterns to lit and created the new world record.I would say it was a mistake going to the event and the event management was horrible.

Pros: Lanterns at the end
Cons: Everything else
