A 1,000 indigenously-made sky lamps will illuminate the skies during the annual Hubballi Akashbutti Habba-2023 to be held on Saturday.

Addressing presspersons along with office-bearers of the organising committee, president of the committee Raju V. Jartarghar said that in a bid to discourage China-made products, they have involved youth organisations and individuals to make sky lamps indigenously. And, they have already kept 1,000 sky lamps ready for the event.

Mr. Jartarghar said that as part of the sky lamp festival, they have already begun conducting a series of events aimed at creating awareness on the rich cultural heritage of the country and various traditional practices. And, all the events will conclude with the sky lamp festival on Saturday to be held at Moorusavir Mutt playground in Hubballi.
