22-year-old Lakshmi Chaudhary, dressed in Tharu dress, is telling customers about her traditional dishes. She has kept various dishes of ghongi, dhikri, gangta, pork, sidra and local breeds of chicken. He has the ability to serve dishes according to the customer's demand.

His family has set up a stall of Tharu community food at the open-air festival in Mahendranagar. She has studied only 8th standard and is proficient in her business.

It has been four/five years since Lakshmi of Tikapur Municipality-1 Shaktinagar of Kailali started going to the festival like this. From Dang to Banke, Bardia, Kailali and Kanchanpur, she has been keeping Tharu food stalls. There is an attraction towards Tharu dishes during fairs and festivals. Lakshmi says that a festival can save up to one and a half lakh. "Wherever there is a fair, we will go there," she said, "this is the source of income for us." "I am satisfied with the fact that I am getting income along with promoting the dishes of my community," he said. He has been keeping stalls in various district fairs for 5 years. Anuraj earns up to four-five lakhs from this profession in one season. From that, the household and children's education expenses are managed.

Most of the youths of his village go to Kala Pahad in India after Dasaintihar. But he is busy looking for various things such as gongs, sidra fish, pigs, etc., which are needed for the fair festival. When the fair and festival season begins, they run around carrying goods. He does not have to sit empty when the festival takes place in all the districts. "After reaching four festivals this year," says Anuraj, "after this, one or two more can be organized." 

27-year-old Madhu Chaudhary of Kailali Baunia has also been enjoying the fair for four to five years. She runs a stall at the festival with her family. She runs the household expenses with the income from this.
