Visit to an Exhibition

India is a multi-cultural country. The idea of holding an exhibition is not new to us. In olden days, Meena Bazars were organised by kings and emperors to promote handicrafts in the country. In India, exhibitions on a small scale were a common feature of village fairs and religious festivals. The first exhibition on a large scale was held in London in 1851.

Recently an industrial exhibition was held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. A large area was enclosed with high barbed wire and big gates were put up. The gates were tastefully decorated. Inside the enclosures many stalls were set up to accommodate exhibits of different kinds. The entry to the exhibition was regulated by tickets, each costing five rupees.

During the first week, there was a great rush of visitors. In the beginning of the second week, I with a friend of mine went to see the exhibition. We bought tickets and then entered the enclosure. There was a great hustle and bustle. Men, women and children were loitering about.

Exhibits were neatly arranged in various sections in three big halls. One section contained specimens of handicrafts and others contained pottery and crockery. The third section contained toys and fancy goods. The fourth section contained cloth of beautiful designs and patterns. Their delicacy of texture and fineness of finish astonished us. The fifth section contained electric goods. The sixth section contained hosiery goods. The seventh section contained sewing machines. The eighth section contained agricultural and fruits. implements, medicines, hand-woven fabrics and artificial flower

Besides, there was a model of the atomic reactor in the nuclear section. The guides made us understand very nicely the functioning of the reactor. They also explained to us India’s nuclear explosion at Pokhran in Rajasthan. We were all of one opinion that India has really progressed by leaps and bounds. We also visited the Art Gallery. It contained paintings by eminent artists. They looked life-like. Certain landscape paintings were very beautiful.

Last of all, we visited the amusement park. It was crowded with visitors. We saw circus and magic lantern shows. We returned home at about 10 p.m. On our way back, we praised the splendid feats performed by circus men.
