Some people were just passing by the stalls while others could be seen laden with a lot of paper bags. Others could be seen enjoying the refreshments at the various stalls which were serving food of different States. The spicy food of Punjab was attracting huge crowds.
The exhibition was divided into various sections. Needless to say, the toys and books sections were attracting a huge crowd and these were not only children but adults also. All types of books, be it fiction, nonfiction, poetry, etc. were being bought by the people in a large number. The book which attracted a lot of people was an autobiography, Diana—Princess of Wales.

A Visit to An Exhibition
Recently, an exhibition ‘Building A New India’ was held in the capital. It was organized by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India. The exhibition was set up in the Triveni Kala Sangam. The chief exhibits were photographs, novels, some sculptures by Indian modern artists presenting Indian cultural inheritance. First of all, I visited the general section of the exhibition where different charts and photographs depicting India’s development in various fields were set. The most impressive photographs among these were those showing India’s nuclear development. The second section dealt with India’s magnificent historical background. I was fascinated by the pictures of the Mohanjodaro excavation. Then I saw the most beautiful and colorful section of the exhibition i.e. the cultural section. It consisted of paintings, sculptures, photographs, etc. The Rajasthani and Gujarati paintings were very colorful and attractive. This exhibition, inaugurated by the Prime Minister, lasted for a week. It proved to be of great educational value. It brushed up my knowledge about India as my motherland. It enhanced my respect for my great country, India. I would very much appreciate it the Indian government organized some more such exhibitions.
