    Solution

    The Chandubi Festival, an annual five-day celebration in Chandubi Lake in the Assam. This cultural extravaganza, starting on the first day of the New Year, showcases the rich local folk culture, ethnic cuisine, traditional handloom and dresses, as well as activities like boating. The festival serves a significant purpose by promoting eco- tourism in the biodiversity hotspot of Assam and aims to address the declining water level of Chandubi Lake. Not only does it contribute to the preservation of the waterbody, but it also plays a crucial role in generating livelihood opportunities for various tribes, including Rabhas, Garos, Gorkhas, and tea tribes, who sell local food items, homemade beverages, and traditional attire during the event.
