Read Explanation:

The Flamingo Festival is a major eco-tourism and cultural event held every year in the state of Andhra Pradesh to celebrate the annual arrival of migratory birds, particularly flamingos, during the winter season.

The festival is primarily centered around:

  1. Pulicat Lake: India's second-largest brackish water lagoon, which serves as a vital stopover and feeding ground for thousands of migratory birds, including the Greater Flamingo.

  2. Nelapattu Bird Sanctuary: Located near the lake in the Nellore district (now part of the Tirupati district), this sanctuary is a crucial breeding and nesting ground for various waterbirds, attracting bird enthusiasts globally.

The event, which usually takes place in January, features birdwatching tours, cultural programs, and workshops aimed at raising awareness about biodiversity and wetland conservation.
