Chief Minister Atishi attended the closing ceremony of Phool Waalon Ki Sair at the historic Jahaz Mahal in Mehrauli on Saturday, emphasising the festivals role in preserving Delhis Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb and promoting unity in diversity. Atishi said that Phool Waalon Ki Sair is not merely a celebration and upholds the centuries-old tradition of Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb, a symbol of Delhis inclusiveness, and spreads a message of humanity. In a post on X, she said, "Phoolwalon Ki Sair has preserved the centuries-old Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb of Delhi. I was honored to attend this beautiful and unique festival that promotes humanity, held at Jahaz Mahal in Mehrauli. It is a true representation of Delhis unity and diversity, connecting people beyond the path of hatred."  The festival, known for bridging communities, featured performances from across India and a mesmerising Qawwali, filling the air with harmony and shared joy. Addressing the gathering, Atishi shared memories of her upbringing in Delhi, highlighting the citys spirit of togetherness. Growing up on the Delhi University campus, where her parents were professors, she experienced an environment where festivals from various religions and cultures were celebrated collectively. "For a long time, I didnt even realise which festival belonged to which religion," she said. She emphasised the importance of fostering unity amid divisive trends in society. "Delhis greatest charm lies in its heartful people who embrace festivals like Phool Waalon Ki Sair as a celebration of humanity. We must cherish and protect this spirit," Atishi said, urging politicians to focus on delivering education, healthcare, and employment instead of fuelling divisions. Reflecting on the Delhi governments efforts over the past decade, she highlighted achievements such as quality education for underprivileged children, improved healthcare facilities, and free bus travel for women. "We strive to serve the people of Delhi, and their love and blessings have been our greatest reward," she added.
