The pavilion gives perfect look of fusion of traditional as well as modern handicrafts. High quality marble work, wood craft, metal work, pottery, old watches, papercraft and several other items could be seen at Delhi pavilion. Products of Tihar Jail are another attraction in pavilion. A huge doll of over 20 feet and mega lamp are another central attraction for the visitors.

Ved Pahuja, designer of the pavilion, says that it took over six weeks to complete the job. Construction of main entrance gate was the most difficult task in the pavilion, Pahuja told fachcha.com. As Rita Kumar, head of the Shahjahanabad Development Authority and Director, Directorate of Information and Publicity, NCT of Delhi, says that we actually wanted to present a glimpse of Delhi of pre-independence era. Stalls inside the pavilion too present the ambience matching with the theme, she adds.

But does it attract business? Ramakant Goswami, Industry Minister of Delhi reply is positive. There was five days exclusively for business visitors, it attracted good number of orders for the traders, he told fachcha.com.

However, officials of various departments are not very happy. As they feel that the achievements and works of various departments of city government have not been presented in the IITF this time. Every time many departments present their works and achievements in the IITF and visitors gets first hand information about the departments directly. They also used to receive orders too in the process, says a senior official of city government. But this time it is missing completely, he says adding that at least one stall should be there for various departments of Delhi government
