Times Square Welcomes Chhattisgarh – Pankhida 2025 Makes History

 


A cultural wave from India reaches Times Square, New York – a proud achievement for the people of Chhattisgarh.

The renowned garba festival Pankhida has been hosted successfully for the past two years in Chhattisgarh. What began as a local celebration has now grown into one of the state’s grandest cultural events, attracting film stars, digital influencers, and prominent personalities. Past editions have welcomed Shehnaaz Gill, Elvish Yadav, Adah Sharma, Dwaindu Sharma aka MunnaBhaiya, and many more, making it a star-studded affair.

The much-anticipated 2025 edition is scheduled for 23rd and 24th September in Bilaspur:

  1. On 23rd September, a popular female celebrity will attend the festival, with her identity being kept under wraps to build excitement.

  2. On 24th September, audiences will be treated to a high-energy live performance by Haryanvi singer Masoom Sharma, promising an electrifying night of music and dance.

The event is organized by the Prajrajayam Group, Bilaspur, which has been instrumental in taking Pankhida from a beloved state festival to a global cultural platform.
