bamboo hut a major attraction at the fairKOCHI: From sturdy Christmas stars to ‘paayasam’ made from bamboo seeds, the ongoing Bamboo Fest 2016, organised by the State Industries Department, has something for every curious visitor. While a young boy tries out bamboo flutes, a home-maker seeks tips on preparing paayasam using bamboo seeds. Though currency crunch appears to have had its impact on the current edition of Bamboo Fest, an exhibitor said Saturday and Sunday had witnessed brisk business. A major attraction at the 13th edition of the fest is a bamboo hut put up by the Kerala State Bamboo Corporation. Bamboo (flattened bamboo, bamboo stilts and boards) and coir ropes alone were used for making the structure.
