Hundreds of visitors are swarming the idyllic Pallom to enjoy the waterlily fields early in the morning, when the smoky mists lend a mystical charm. The beauty of the waterlily fields could be enjoyed in all its grandeur from 6 am to 8 am before the harsh sunrays fall on the blooms. The fields look as if a massive, exotic carpet in a vibrant pink hue has been sprawled over verdant greenery.
