Dilli Ki Diwali 2026: Venue, Timings and Drone Show

Dilli Ki Diwali is a two day festival organised by the Delhi government at Central Park, Connaught Place. It runs on 6 and 7 November 2026, with the programme starting at 6 pm each evening.

What is on at Dilli Ki Diwali

According to India TV News, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurates the event at 6 pm on 6 November. Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra announced the plan. Cultural and religious functions then run from 6 pm to 10 pm on both days.

Also, the drone show is described as the main highlight. Meanwhile, it runs on both days and will depict Lord Ram’s journey in the sky. There is also a Ganesh Lakshmi Maha Aarti, a Deepotsav and a series of cultural performances.

Bhajan Clubbing and the rangoli contest

Then, on 7 November, the programme adds Bhajan Clubbing. It plays traditional bhajans and devotional music in a modern style. However, for younger visitors, this is likely to be the most talked about slot.

The event also includes a rangoli competition using eco friendly materials. The Delhi government is offering cash prizes. Market associations and Resident Welfare Associations are among the partners, so expect local participation.

Planning your visit

First, Central Park sits in the middle of Connaught Place, so the Metro is the easiest way in. Rajiv Chowk station is the closest, though crowds can build in the evening. Because the programme starts at 6 pm, arriving a little early helps you find a good spot for the drone show.

Security is expected to be tight, so carry a valid photo ID and keep bags light. However, the announcement does not say whether entry is free or ticketed. Check the Delhi tourism department’s channels before you leave.

Meanwhile, the festival season is not over. If you are planning ahead, our guide to the Prithvi Festival lists plays running into mid November for readers in Mumbai.

In short, Dilli Ki Diwali is a free looking but unconfirmed entry, evening only programme. Go for the drone show, stay for the aarti, and plan your return trip before the crowd thins.
