The pandal also showcases Delhi’s iconic Red Fort.

The G20 Leaders Summit, hosted over two days, September 9 and 10, drew the highest-ever contingent of world leaders and dignitaries in the event’s history, including US President Joe Biden and the Prime Minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak.

The event, hosted under India’s presidency of the G20, witnessed the historic formal induction of the African Union (AU) into the grouping and the adoption of a declaration by consensus by the world leaders participating in the event.

The 9-day-long festival of Shardiya Navratri is all about worshipping Maa Durga and her nine avatars, known as Navdurga. Navratri means ‘nine nights’ in Sanskrit. Hindus observe a total of four Navratris throughout the year.
