In a vibrant celebration of tradition, women’s empowerment and cultural harmony, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will inaugurate a grand three-day Teej Mela at Dilli Haat, Pitampura, from July 25 to 27.

Announcing the festival, CM Gupta said the Teej Mahotsav 2025 will showcase India’s rich heritage, strength of women and traditional arts, promising something special for every generation.

“Women are my greatest inspiration. This mela is dedicated to the trust of the people, especially women who see me as their representative and a medium through which they realize their dreams and rights,” she said.

The mela will transform Dilli Haat with theme-based decor, including 3D welcome gates, colourful chandeliers, buntings and themed selfie booths. Visitors can also experience AI-assisted mehndi designs selection and watch live folk performances, magic shows and storytelling sessions.

Over 80 stalls will be set up to display handicrafts, ethnic wear, bangles, embroidery, block printing and traditional foods. Various competitions such as rangoli, bindi decoration, mehndi art, Teej queen and slogan writing will also be held. A special “Women in Green” fashion walk and “Miss Teej 2025” contest will add to the excitement.

To make the event a family affair, there will be workshops on women’s health and empowerment, live craft demos, swings and a kids’ zone featuring games and storytelling. A celebrity night on July 26 will feature popular artists to boost the festive spirit.

Promising grandeur and inclusivity, CM Gupta said the government remains committed to promoting cultural pride while empowering women and communities, celebrating Teej with traditional fervour, cultural dignity and grandeur.
