Fair at Hyderabad’s Numaish

Numaish Masnuaat-e-Mulki, or just Numaish, is an annual industrial fair held in Hyderabad, India. In Urdu “Numaish” means exhibition. The Numaish in Hyderabad is precisely just that – an open-air exhibition to display ingenious products and goods produced in the city. Held annually since 1938 during the rule of Hyderabad’s Nizams, the fair draws about 2.5 million people each year to the 2,600 stalls and entertainment in the form of joyrides and eateries. To say the Numaish is a massive event is an understatement. The exhibition has remained the only event of its kind in the world to be organized at a stretch for a 46-day period at its 23-acre (93,000 square meter) permanent venue in Nampally, Hyderabad.
