It is the state animal of Manipur. As this festival is being celebrated to promote Manipur as a world class tourism destination, it showcases the states contributions to art and culture, handloom, handicrafts, fine arts, indigenous sports, cuisine, music, eco and adventure sports, as well as the natural environment.^[2]

Boating and other water sports are organised here at Takmu Water Sports Complex.
