A 25-foot tall Lighthouse made of pineapple and orange is a major attraction at the '58th Edition of Fruit Show,' which began here in the Nilgiris District, today.
The Lighthouse, with a width of 10 feet, has been made of 3,000 kg of fruits and kept at the show, as part of the annual Summer Festival, attracting both domestic and foreign tourists here, some 17 km from Udhagamandalam (Ooty), the famous 'Queen of Hills' in Tamil Nadu.
Another attraction is a boat made of 1,000 kg of grapes--both green and black, with a length of 15 feet and width of 10 feet.
There is also a statue of Kannagi, made of eight different types of fruits besides that of two dragons and an aquarium at the two-day show.
