India as a land of fairs and festivals
The country-India is known for its rich culture and heritage. One of the important part of this culture is to host a lot of fairs and exhibitions popularly known as ‘melas’. These melas are organized in almost every part of the country including towns and cities. The magnitude of these fairs vary from place to place. People of all age groups are attracted towards these fairs as they have something to offer for everybody. Among millions of fairs organized in India some have attained a very important place in our hearts. These are Kumbh Mela, Sonepur Cattle Mela, Pushkar Fair, Gangasagar Mela, Surajkund Mela, and many more.

Theme and other salient features
The prime feature of the Surajkund Mela is that one Indian State gets the unique respect of being the Theme State of the year. The idea of the Theme State was carried upon so as to advance and bring under light the craftsmanship, art, culture, and cuisine, handicrafts, handlooms of one state for every year.
Along these lines, the Mela gives the Theme State a rare opportunity to exhibit its handlooms, architecture, performing arts, cuisines, and its tourist potential to a tremendous cross-segment of the population in a noteworthy way. To such an extent that the entire Surajkund Mela 2020 subject, directly from the whole look of the passageway and the grounds, and the entire setting of the furnishings, hues, stylistic layout, colours, decor down to the architecture of the fair depends altogether on that specific state.
