Sources are useless. Two covert-adverts from the Hindu and the rest are name-drops that don't talk about the festival at any length. — Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 07:54, 8 February 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep. If a major national newspaper picks up and uses a press release, then "covert-advert" is not the word I would use. -- Andreas Philopater ( talk) 07:21, 12 February 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep. The Hindu is widely regarded as (among) India's most reliable newspapers. The other references also happen to be well known media sources that are directly discussing or connected to the article subject. I see WP:GNG being sufficently passed.
