The India International Trade Fair is fun. Cancel all your plans for this weekend and drive all the way to Pragati Maidan to witness this amazing fair once in a year. Or plan on a weekday, if feasible. The fair is till 27th.
We are here informing you about what’s going on in the Fair.
So, this is opening everyday till 27th on 9.30 am and the entry for the visitors will be closed at 7.30 pm.
This year, the fair is reduced by half to make it convenient for the visitors to cover the stalls and grounds more easily in less time. This has happened also because of the construction work going at Pragati Maidan. The stalls are almost at one line which begins at Gate one and goes to Gate number 18. This is even an easier way for the public to roam all the pavilions at one-go.
Arnab Chatterjee, a visitor who makes sure to visit the fair every year says,” this year it is convenient. We do not have to walk much as we can cover everything in just one way. We can see everything in one day. Otherwise since so many years, I had to visit more than a day in order to keenly watch all the stalls.”
You would be really glad and excited to know that everyday around 60 thousand people are visiting here.
Crazy driving delicacies
The trade fair is a paradise for foodies. As you pass by the pavilions you will find tempting food stalls. Litti Chokha from Bihar, Rajasthan’s onion kachauri, Punjabi chhole bhature. Besides, chaat, pani puri, kulfi are watering our mouths.
