There were two gates; one for the entrance and other for the exit. Both the gates were decorated and designed in a novel way. There were various stalls inside the compound. Each stall was decorated. Books were set properly inside the selves of the stalls. Similarly agricultural products were kept beautifully Inside the stalls.

No entertainment fee was charged from the spectators. The organizers of the exhibition met the expenses from the sale proceeds of entrance tickets. For book exhibition, there was no entry fee. Meetings were held on the pendal daily. Eminent persons delivered speeches on education and after talks, singers were singing devotional songs on the raised platform there. I purchased some books from the book exhibition. That exhibition impressed my mind very much. I can’t forget them.
