Beyond the stage

4 Stages

Mehfil Khana is the grand cultural extravaganza; Dayaar-e-Izhar celebrates expression across art forms; Sukhan Zaar is a poetry and literary oasis; and Bazm-e-Khayal hosts thoughtful readings, dialogues, and masterclasses.

Aiwan-e-Zaiqa

Aiwan-e-Zaiqa celebrates the subcontinent's cuisine as a symbol of togetherness—simple, heartfelt food, generous portions, and space to linger. It's the kind of place where you pass the kebab, tear the roti, sip the chai, and feel truly cared for.

Rekhta Books Bazar

Rekhta Books Bazar celebrates the joy of owning books—paperbacks for the commute, hardcovers for the shelf, poetry for the soul. Browse slowly, share recommendations, and leave with a bag that rustles like a small library.

Rekhta Bazaar

The heart of Delhi's winter festival—pairing the charm of traditional crafts with the ease of modern merchandise. Explore artefacts, apparel, stationery, prints, and more over three vibrant days of Jashn-e-Rekhta.

Rekhta Pavilion

Rekhta Pavilion brings the entire ecosystem under one roof: language tools, the Rekhta app, learning courses, books & publications, and curated merchandise. Watch demos, enroll, and shop with ease.

Light & Sound Show

An evening highlight at Baansera—this light and sound showcase blends architectural lighting, ambient music, and the park’s serene setting by the Yamuna, creating a calm, cinematic walk to enjoy with family and friends.
