You may want to stop by the Mid Valley Megamall first.
The Mid Valley Exhibition Centre has been turned into a "Little India" from today for the Global Indian Shopping Festival 2007.
Sarees, bangles, decorative items and Indian sweets are just some of the attractions at the 10-day festival, which is being held for the fifth time at the shopping mall.
Organised by ASC Agenda Suria Communication Sdn Bhd, the festival also offers numerous contests, dance displays, concerts and fashion shows.
"This year, we have more exhibitors from states like Orrisa, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh. The prices are also cheaper as we have special clearance from the Customs Department," said company director Jaggarao Simancha.
There will be a total of 218 exhibition booths.
The highlight is a traditional Hindu wedding called "Kettimelam Kalyanam" for three lucky couples.
Jaggarao said last year’s festival raked in RM12 million and he expected this year’s revenue to rise to RM20 million. More than 300,000 visitors are expected to turn up for the festival.
