New Delhi: New Delhi recently hosted the North East Festival which witnessed  stellar performances, meaningful discussions, and terrific turnouts of people, media reports said on Wednesday.

Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium hosted the four-day from Dec 23- 26.

Several stalls in the carnival event showcased regions food and handicrafts, live music and dance performances, and  open mic sessions, engaging the visitors throughout the day and late evenings.

Chief Organiser of North East Festival, Shyamkanu Mahanta, told BW Hotelier: “As positively anticipated, the festival was a roaring success. We witnessed thousands of visitors; which is definitely a fabulous turnout.  Our entire team has worked relentlessly for several months to organise this festival, and the response received is worth all the effort. People are now showing interest to visit the region and explore our rich culture and heritage. Several entrepreneurs putting up stalls made good business. We are thankful to all the artists, entrepreneurs, govt officials, stakeholders, people of Delhi, and each and everyone involved directly or indirectly for their support. We cannot wait to announce the details of the 11th edition."

The Khati Axomiya Exaaj stall, which has been a part of Nort East Festival since 2014, made Rs 2.5 lakhs in four days.

Owner Priyanku Bharadwaj told the portal, “Duck Fry, Pork with Til, and Smoked Pork were some of the best-sellers. People were excited to taste Assam’s Kaji Nemu (lemon) and Bhoot Jolokia (king chilli). Momos served with fiery Bhoot Jolokia chutney and Clear Soup was another favourite to beat the winter chill. We are very happy with the revenue generated.”
