Where is the Sair-E-Gul Faroshan festival held?

Delhi

The correct answer is Option (3) - Delhi

The Sair-e-Gul Faroshan festival, also known as the Phool Walon Ki Sair, is an annual cultural festival celebrated in Delhi, the capital city of India. The festival has a rich historical and cultural significance, dating back to the Mughal era.

During the festival, which typically takes place in October-November, floral processions and cultural events are organized in various parts of Delhi, particularly around the Mehrauli area. The highlight of the festival is a procession that begins from the shrine of the 13th-century Sufi saint Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki in Mehrauli and culminates at the ancient Yogmaya Temple.

The procession features elaborately decorated flower pankhas (fans) and decorated pankha-shaped chaadar (shawls) made of flowers, which are carried by devotees and participants. These floral offerings symbolize peace, harmony, and communal unity. The festival is a reflection of Delhi's syncretic culture, blending elements of Hindu and Sufi traditions.
