Speaking to the Sangai Express today, the Lukmai Keithel vendors said, business began from 7 am today before the festival officially opened.
The workers who were giving final touches to the venue before the festival opened, enjoyed Singju from their stall.
Lukmai Keithel was thronging with customers owing to which the vendors had no time to take a lunch break.
"We did not expect this large turn out.
We had to skip lunch today as we did not make arrangements for substitutes or assistants," they said.
About 20,000 Rs have been spent in making arrangements for the stall, the vendors said.
Till early evening, these vendors sold about Rs 7000 worth of products.
