New Delhi, Nov 14 (PTI) Tourism Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj inaugurated the 'Delhi Pavillon' at the India International Trade Fair on Tuesday, according to an official release.
The Delhi Pavilion offers a glimpse into the national capital's heritage and its progressive initiatives in various sectors, it said.
The heritage-themed pavilion showcases Connaught Place and other iconic monuments, serving as the focal point of this year's trade fair.
Two entry points, each featuring an "I Love Delhi" selfie point, welcome visitors to explore the national capital's "vibrant essence".
Bharadwaj said the fair is a special feature of Delhi's culture.
"As someone who grew up amidst the bustling streets of Delhi, I feel a deep sense of joy to be here today, inaugurating the Delhi Pavilion," he said.
"The trade fair is a very special feature of Delhi's culture, woven into the vibrant tapestry of our city's identity. Coming here is not just a visit; it's a journey through the corridors of nostalgia, evoking cherished memories of our youth when the fair was an annual tradition," he added.
The front facade presents Connaught Place, with the first half dedicated to themes such as "Invest Delhi", "Ease of Living", "Clean Delhi" and "Green Delhi". At the rear, a 3D replica of Akshardham Temple invites visitors to capture selfies.
