Women are sure to be attracted by Chandramukhi sarees available for Rs.170 and pure cotton nighties in attractive colours.

The cooperative stores has come up with mela idea not only for business development but also to offer good quality items at affordable prices, said S. Suseendran, secretary.

Though the mela is a maiden attempt, the one organised at Ponnagram turned out to be a big success, which prompted the organisers to take it to Palanganatham, Mr. Suseendran said. It has been planned to put up more stalls during the month of Aadi. And mela is to become an annual affair.

The mela will remain open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. till May 11, including Sundays.
