Against the winter breeze along Delhi’s Yamuna riverfront, Baansera Park turned into a vibrant celebration of language, art, and collective memory as Jashn-e-Rekhta marked its 10th edition.
Over three days (December 5-7), the world’s largest festival dedicated to Urdu drew more than 1.5 lakh visitors, turning the riverside venue into a bustling cultural corridor where literature, music, and storytelling converged. Lantern-lit pathways, reading corners, food courts, art installations, and the popular Rekhta Bazaar Pavilion added to the festive ambience, inviting audiences from across India and beyond.
