“An annual food fest - “Devbhoomi Aahara Mela” would be organised to attract both domestic and international food connoisseurs.”
Uttarakhand Tourism/District Administration food festivals have been reported, including a 2025 Uttarakhand Food Festival at Mussoorie Winterline Carnival, but I did not verify an annual branded Devbhoomi Aahara Mela with domestic and international positioning.

BJP manifesto promised: An annual food fest - “Devbhoomi Aahara Mela” would be organised to attract both domestic and international food connoisseurs.
