The event coincides with the celebration of Birsa Munda Jayanti, observed by the Central Government as Tribal Respect Day. Reddy noted that rural artists would demonstrate their crafts and skills, offering visitors a unique opportunity to experience traditional art forms firsthand.

With over 100 cultural activities planned, Lok Manthan-Bhagyanara 2024 is open to people from all walks of life.
