Apart from the yoga and meditation in serene bamboo huts, initially the festival was all about ecstatic dancing which is alcohol free where people wait in queues to get on the dance space and feel euphoric. This is the most unimaginable free-form of dance which is deeply felt that too without any substance. This way of dancing is very different from the clubs and pubs. The trick is to let the body, mind and spirit feel free and to release blockages in the body and this happens without any efforts.

The scent of incense, cigarettes, cloves and the sound of the temples once you get away from the airport is truly overwhelming. The people of the place are one of a kind and you will be surrounded by optimistic energy and mindfulness the entire time which one can call a perfect vacation from the absorbed world.  Miracles and magic are apt words for this alluring festival.
