Chandigarh: The Haryana Pavilion will be a major attraction at the India International Trade Fair (IITF)-2026, being held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, from November 14 to 27. Designed around the theme of ‘Development and Heritage’, the pavilion will showcase a unique blend of Haryana’s rich cultural heritage and its remarkable development journey.
The pavilion will offer visitors a glimpse of Haryana’s vibrant culture as well as the rapid development taking place across the state. An exhibition area has been developed around a large open courtyard inside the pavilion. One of its key attractions is a traditional Haryanvi Chaupal, designed in a rural setting to recreate the ambience of a village. It reflects Haryana’s traditions of social interaction, collective participation and mutual brotherhood, while offering visitors an insight into the state’s rural lifestyle and cultural values.
Senior Manager of the Trade Fair Authority of Haryana, Anil Kumar Chaudhary, said that technology has been made an integral part of the pavilion’s presentation. Digital scrollers and LED walls are being used to showcase the state’s achievements and progress across various sectors. The Kinetic Information Wall presents Haryana’s development story through dynamic visual displays.
Haryana Day will be celebrated at the trade fair on November 22, which will be attended by Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini. The celebrations will feature Haryanvi folk dances and other cultural performances. He appealed to the general public to visit the fair in large numbers and make sure to explore the Haryana Pavilion set up in Hall No. 5.
