The Paryatan Parv organized by the Ministry of Tourism kicked off yesterday and will continue till the 13th of this month. The Delhi leg of the Parv is to be organized from 2nd to 6th October 2019 from 12.00 pm to 10.00 pm at Rajpath lawns between Rafi Marg and Janpath. This year's event is dedicated to the 150th birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. The 5-days long Parv on Rajpath lawns will celebrate the culmination of 21-days of Paryatan Parv- a nation-wide tourism festival. The idea of Paryatan Parv is to propagate the message of ‘Dekho Apna Desh’, with the objective to encourage Indians to visit various tourist destinations of the country and also to spread the message of ‘Tourism for All’. The event will include cultural performances by various local and folk performers and 50 food stalls are set up by various states and union territories showcasing their distinctive cuisine. It will also include stalls set up by the National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI) that intends to bring several street vendors from different parts of India to the capital. There is going to be crafts mela too with 50 different stalls showcasing diverse handicrafts and handlooms of the country, arranged by the State governments and Ministry of Textiles. Notably, to highlight the State tourism potential, 15 theme-based State pavilions will be set up at the festival as well.
