The handloom silk saree is emblazoned with the slogan Election Day, Country’s Pride. This event, led by the Deputy Commissioner to encourage voting, attracted attention.
Folk artistes welcomed the voters and took them to the polling booth at the cultural polling station opened at Ramasamudra. The voters were welcomed grandly and celebrated like a festival with tambourine pada, damaruga and tamate instruments. In addition, a selfie point has also been made in front of the polling booth.
