As the lights of Diwali approach, Faridabad’s Surajkund gets ready to shine. The Surajkund Diwali Mela 2025 promises not just festivity, but a rich confluence of art, culture, cuisine, and craftsmanship—grounded in local tradition, yet broad in its appeal.
The Surajkund Diwali Mela is a special edition fair organised by Haryana Tourism around the Diwali festival. It complements the more well‐known Surajkund International Crafts Mela (held in February) but is themed for Diwali: lights, decorations, food stalls, performances, regional crafts, and much more. It’s a chance to enjoy the festive mood and shop for handmade gifts, decor, clothes, and artisanal items in an atmospheric setting.
What To Expect:
- Local and regional artisans set up stalls to sell decorative items, Diwali lights, traditional clothes, jewellery, and gift items.
- A variety of food stalls offering festive snacks, sweets special to Diwali, regional delicacies, street food, and possibly fusion treats.
- Folk dance, music, maybe some theatre or storytelling.
Such fairs are vital for local artisans as well as for preserving traditional crafts that can otherwise be under pressure in a modern market. Beyond buying or performances, events like this pull together families, communities, friends. There’s joy in the meeting, in the lights, in the shared experience of the festival.
Whether you go to shop, eat, enjoy performances, or just soak in the Diwali ambiance, there’s something for everyone. Mark your calendar, plan your evening, and prepare for lights, art, and warmth.
When: 2nd - 7th October.
Where: Surajkund Ground, Faridabad.
