The F&B stalls only offered junk food options, so I couldn't find anything suitable for lunch. Perhaps they assumed that since it was a youth festival, people would be interested in junk food. With no healthy options available, I had to leave and get lunch at a hotel called Pai Vihaar. Additionally, the F&B stalls were selling ice popsicles for a whopping Rs. 100!
