Rekha pushes for cultural unity via art and festivals
Gupta stated that the Department of Art, Culture and Languages can play a vital role in this endeavour by broadening the scope of its programmes and activities. "The department must take initiatives beyond designated locations and bring them to the general public to enhance public participation," she said. She directed officials to ensure that regional festivals celebrated in Delhi include artists from the respective states, as this would help generate greater interest in these events.
CM also stated that efforts will be made to explore possibilities for teaching non-Hindi languages to children in Delhi, enabling them to understand the social and cultural identities of other states. These directions were given during a recent meeting with the Department of Art, Culture and Languages, which minister Kapil Mishra also attended. The objective of the meeting was to enrich Delhi's cultural landscape and to involve all sections of society.

She also directed the organisation of events such as women's art exhibitions, artist camps, music and dance festivals, theatre performances and religious celebrations like Chhath Puja and Durga Puja across the city to increase public participation. Highlighting Delhi's diverse population, she emphasised the growing celebration of regional festivals.
"Delhi is not merely the capital city but also a reflection of the country's cultural identity," she said. "We want the art and culture of various states to reach every street and for every individual to feel connected to it." She added that theatre and folk arts are powerful tools for spreading awareness and information, often more effectively than other forms of communication.

What's Happening Fahadh Faasil and Sameer Hamsa shared the photos from last night's celebrations.

In the pictures, Mohanlal is seen wearing a white jacket while Fahadh is seen dressed in his casual best. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FF (@farhaanfaasil) The teaser became a talking point as Mohanlal encountered a non-Malayali fan of actor Fahadh Faasil, who, literally, worshipped the actor. When the fan referred to Fahadh as "Fafa", Mohanlal was baffled. The fan explains Fafa stands for Fahadh Faasil. "Aavesham, Kumbalangi Nights. What a performance! Eyes, drama, fantastic!," he offers to generously enlighten Mohanlal. Mohanlal then gently points out that there are also good senior actors in Malayalam. To this, the man says, "No, no! Only Fafa!" Mohanlal repeats "Only Fafa?" When he says yes, Mohanlal gives back the prasadam and walks away. Apart from Mohanlal, the film will also feature actors Malavika Mohanan, Sangeeth Prathap, Sangita, Siddique, Nishan, Baburaj, Lalu Alex and Janardhanan among others. The film's story is by Akhil Sathyan and its screenplay and dialogues are by Sonu TP. Cinematography for the film is by Anu Moothedath and music is by Tamil film music director Justin Prabhakaran.
