As someone who recently moved to Delhi, I had never heard of this festival before. It sounds absolutely wonderful! The imagery of the shehnai and floral fans is so poetic. This is the kind of cultural heritage that makes India so special. Will try to attend an event this week!

Good to see the CM taking part. But I do hope this commitment to preserving heritage translates into actual budgets and protection for our historical sites. Talk is easy, we need concrete action to maintain the monuments and traditions that are fading away.

My nani used to tell me stories about this festival when I was a child. It's so important to pass these traditions on. The message of unity is needed now more than ever. Let's hope the younger generation really connects with it.

Wonderful news! These cultural events are the soul of Delhi. In a time when there's so much division, seeing our leaders celebrate something that's purely about harmony and flowers is very refreshing. More coverage of such positive events, please!
