Fairs & Festivals in Delhi
The
seat of empire for centuries, royal patronage ensured that Delhi remained the
cultural epicentre of the country, attracting the best of painters, musicians
and dancers. Delhi Tourism puts on display this rich and diverse cultural heritage
by holding a series of festivals during the year.
Traditionally, Delhi Tourism holds the Qutub Festival of classical music and
dance around Sharad Purnima in the month of October at the Qutub Minar Complex.
The Qutub and its surrounding monuments, bathed in the silver radiance of the
full moon provide a perfect backdrop.
Graceful dances performed by leading exponents of dance. The scattered citadels
of erstwhile dynasties which co-exist with high rise residential localities
and crowded commercial complexes, form the picturesque backdrop for the haunting
melodies and graceful dances rendered by leading artistes during the festival
organised by Delhi Tourism, some popular ones are the Roshnara and Shalimar
Bagh Festivals. These festivals mirror the multiplicity of cultures and reflect
the fusion of regional diversities which constitutes modern day Delhi, where
the ancient and the modern blend most harmoniously into a whole.
To celebrate the advent of the king of fruits, Delhi Tourism holds the Mango
Festival in the month of July. Mentioned in the Vedas and Upanishads the mango
is considered auspicious and a symbol of life and joy forever. The largest producer
of mangoes, India grows more than eleven hundred varieties of mangoes in different
parts of the country. The Mango Festival is the place to discover the magic
of mangoes in all their immense variety.
