New Delhi [India], October 23: The fourth edition of TV9 Festival of India has wrapped up at Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium after five days of non-stop celebration. From October 16 to 20, the capital swapped its usual hustle for music, culture, devotion, and a lot of good food. From the spiritual grandeur of Durga Puja to live concerts, Dandiya nights, shopping and regional cuisines, the festival put India's cultural diversity and festive spirit under one roof.
The festival’s headline performances were among its biggest highlights. Harshdeep Kaur’s Sufi voice captivated the audience, while Raftaar’s energetic set lifted the mood of the evening. Three consecutive Dandiya Nights followed, with BP Singh, Shreyas Dharmadhikari, Nizami Bandhu, Saurabh Shorey and Falita performing on stage. DJ Shival, DJ Veronica and DJ Nitish Gulyani kept the celebrations going well into the night.
The spiritual heart of the festival was the grand Durga Puja pandal, where devotees sought Maa Durga's blessings and joined in the rituals. From Maha Shashthi to Maha Navami and the closing-day celebrations, traditions like Sandhi Puja, Havan, Dhunuchi Naach and Sindoor Khela gave the festival its depth. Around the pandal, a shopping bazaar, food stalls serving dishes from across states, folk and cultural performances, and interactive activities for young visitors gave families plenty to do.
