“Since the state tourism is one of You- Tube’s content partners, the festival videos uploaded on the video-sharing site through the Kerala Tourism website gets featured regularly on its international homepage. Also there will be no time-limit for these videos,” said Hari of Invis Multimedia, the firm that supports the Department’s internet strategy. YouTube has already hosted a state-specific travel-video festival.

“As of now, we have a very limited festival calendar, information of about some 80-100 festivals. Even this information is general, and not locally generated.

Without local involvement, it is hard to spell out the nitty-gritties of a festival,” said Hari.

FestivalWiki will have basic information of about 100-odd festivals. People can log in and upload new information or edit existing content. “The festival season begins by August and reaches a peak in November. By that time, we hope the collaborative effort will result in a rich database,” Sivasankar said. “If this turns out successful, we will extend the concept to destinations,” he added
