A tourism festival to celebrate the annual flowering season at this backwater village - epicenter of the pink bloom - will begin on Tuesday.

District Police Chief K Karthik will formally inaugurate the fest at a function to be held here at 8 am. Thiruvarppu grama panchayat president Ajayan K. Menon will preside.
