Experience the Surajkund Mela
One of the most exciting times to visit is during the annual Surajkund International Crafts Mela (Fair), held every February. Artisans from across India and the world gather to display their crafts, textiles, and traditional wares. As you walk through the fair, you can witness live cultural performances, sample regional delicacies, and engage with artists who keep ancient crafts alive. The Mela transforms the area into a lively celebration of culture, making it an unmissable experience if you're in the region at the time.
A peaceful retreat beyond the mela
Even outside the festival season, Surajkund is worth visiting for its peaceful surroundings and historical appeal. The reservoir, though not always full of water, offers an environment ideal for picnics and leisurely walks. The stone steps around the lake provide a great spot to sit and reflect. It’s also a popular spot for photographers looking to capture a blend of nature and heritage.
