The ninth Godavari Flower Exhibition and third Sayapatri Flower Fair opened on Wednesday at the sports ground near Pokhara Rangashala in Pokhara, with Pokhara Metropolitan City Mayor Dhanraj Acharya inaugurating the event. Organised by the Floriculture Association Nepal Kaski, the fair aims to promote locally produced flowers and provide farmers with a market for their products.
A platform for local flowers
The exhibition brings the Godavari and Sayapatri flower fairs together at a venue near Pokhara Rangashala. This year’s event marks the ninth edition of the Godavari exhibition and the third edition of the Sayapatri fair. The two events are being held as a joint flower fair in Pokhara.
The organisers have identified the promotion of local flowers as a central purpose of the event. By putting flowers produced locally at the centre of a public fair, the exhibition offers a platform to draw attention to the region’s floriculture sector. The organisers also intend to create a market for farmers, linking the fair’s promotional role with an opportunity for local producers to find buyers for their flowers.
For farmers, access to a market is an important part of developing flower production as an economic activity. The fair’s stated aim is to help provide that market, while also bringing local flowers into public view. Its focus on both promotion and market access makes the exhibition relevant to producers as well as visitors interested in flowers.

The organisers are using the combined gathering to promote local flowers and support farmers’ access to a market. No further details about the fair’s schedule or activities were provided in the available information.
The opening highlights the role of organised events in showcasing local flower production. Through the exhibition, the Floriculture Association Nepal Kaski is seeking to encourage interest in locally grown flowers and provide farmers with a place to market them. The fair has opened in Pokhara, with its focus on the promotion of local flowers and the needs of local producers.
