We just visited North East Festival 2019 held on the gorgeous lawns of Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts or “IGNCA”. The North East Festival, IGNCA, held during 8 – 10 November, 2019, is a huge hit in Delhi NCR. It was an eye opener and a fun way to welcome winter in Delhi NCR.
Dilli ki Diwali by the Delhi Government was a community celebration of Diwali, at Connaught Place. The aim was to promote a pollution free Diwali in Delhi.
