On November 1, 2025, the Delhi government is going to organize a grand ceremony of ‘Delhi Foundation Day’ at the Red Fort complex. On this occasion, not only Delhi, but also the foundation day of nine other states and union territories will be celebrated.
This event is especially important this time, because November 1 is also the 150th birth anniversary of the country’s Iron Man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. On this occasion, a special projection mapping show will be organized at the Red Fort, which will be dedicated to the life of Patel and his contribution to the unification of India. The show will provide a unique experience with colorful lights and sound effects.
Apart from Delhi, Foundation Day of nine states like Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Punjab, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh will also be celebrated in this festival. Along with this, the culture of Union Territories like Lakshadweep, Andaman-Nicobar, Puducherry and Chandigarh will also be displayed. In this festival, a confluence of traditional arts, dance performances and folk music of these states will be seen.
The main attraction of the festival will be a series of grand food stalls, in which traditional dishes of every state can be tasted. Visitors will be able to enjoy delicious dishes like Maize Roti-Sarson Ka Saag from Punjab, Appam-Stew from Kerala, Poha-Jalebi from Madhya Pradesh and Dosa and Idli-Sambhar from South India. These food stalls will present a living example of the diverse culinary traditions of India.
Delhi government has announced that entry into this program will be free. This means that no ticket will be charged and common citizens will be able to participate easily. Visitors will not only be able to enjoy delicious cuisine but also experience colorful cultural programmes, folk dances and light shows.
This time Delhi Foundation Day is not just going to be a celebration but a symbol of India’s unity, diversity and cultural richness.
