Delhi’s Bansera Park will host the two-day ‘Rang Ras Rooh’ festival on September 26 and 27 for World Tourism Day, with the Delhi Development Authority planning children’s entertainment, hands-on craft activities, regional food and evening cultural performances.
The festival is being organised at the DDA park in Sarai Kale Khan. According to the DDA, children will be able to attend magic shows, puppet shows and games, and use a toy train and different rides in an area called ‘Masti Ka Adda’.
The programme also includes ‘Hunar Gali’, where children can participate in pottery, block printing and mandala art activities. A children’s section called ‘Bachpan Ki Dukaan’ and a themed area named ‘Yaadon Ki Gali’ are also planned as attractions for children and families.
The event extends beyond children’s entertainment. The DDA said visitors will be able to sample traditional food from Bihar, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi and Bengal at ‘Bharat Ke Zaayke’. South Indian food and Banaras paan will also be available at the festival.
Cultural performances have been scheduled across the two days. The programme includes puppet shows, folk songs, folk dances, magic shows and evening music performances. Sufi and ghazal presentations are planned for the evening of September 26, while the Nizami Brothers are scheduled to perform live qawwali at 7 pm on September 27.
The festival’s location places it within an important public-transport and civic-access corridor. Bansera Park is opposite Sarai Kale Khan Metro station, according to the report, and parking facilities will be available for visitors. The location may allow families arriving by metro or private vehicles to access the event, although the supplied announcement does not provide expected attendance figures or details of traffic and crowd-management arrangements.
The event reflects the DDA’s use of a public park as a venue for cultural programming, children’s recreation and food-based tourism activities. Such programming brings multiple uses together in a civic space rather than limiting the park to passive recreation. The announcement, however, does not specify ticket prices, entry rules, operating hours for each attraction or whether any activities will involve separate charges.
For visitors planning to attend, the main scheduled attractions are spread across both days, with the evening performances forming the principal cultural programme. The DDA has said that preparations are under way for the September 26-27 festival at Bansera Park, with the qawwali performance scheduled to begin at 7 pm on September 27.
