A wide array of mango varieties such as Dussehri, Chausa, Langra, Amrapali, Bombay Green, Ratol, Mallika, Ambika, and Ramkela will be on display. The event provides an ideal platform for mango growers to exhibit and sell fresh mangoes as well as mango-based products.

The cultural segment of the mela will feature performances by folk groups such as the Nagada Party, Jangam Party, Bigpiper Group, Been Party, and Ektara artists, showcasing traditional music, dance, and colourful entertainment every evening.
Another highlight of the fair will be the Shilp Bazaar, which will display handloom and handicrafts from artisans and weavers of Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Rajasthan. This will offer visitors a chance to purchase unique handmade items while supporting regional craftsmanship.
To enhance the visual appeal and support the state's 'Go Green' initiative, Yadavindra Garden will be lit with energy-efficient special lighting across its historic structures and gardens. Additionally, a multi-cuisine food court will serve a variety of mouth-watering dishes, including Indian street food, Punjabi delicacies, South Indian flavours, and Chinese cuisine.

The Delhi High Court has barred Kuku FM from releasing new episodes of five series allegedly infringing Pocket FM 's content until the next hearing. The court has also directed Kuku FM to provide full details of the disputed shows. The matter has been adjourned to 29 August. Pocket FM has filed a civil suit against Mebigo Labs , the parent company of Kuku FM, alleging repeated infringement of its intellectual property. The allegations include copyright infringement, passing off of trademarks, unfair trade practices, tortious interference, and inducement to breach contracts.

Pocket FM has claimed that Kuku FM has systematically copied its shows over the past four years, despite prior legal actions. It has highlighted alleged infringement of five audio series, Super Yoddha , Insta Empire , Amrapali, Vashikaran, and The Immortal Warrior. Live Events It has also accused Kuku FM of using similar show titles, episode names, and, in one instance, an identical poster for Shoorveer, allegedly designed to mislead listeners and capitalise on Pocket FM's brand reputation. Senior advocate Amit Sibal, appearing for Pocket FM along with law firm Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, argued that Kuku FM has engaged in 'wholesale infringement' by replicating core creative elements such as themes, characters, and story arcs. In May 2025, Pocket FM filed a separate case in the Delhi High Court against Kuku FM for allegedly pirating its show Insta Millionaire. Sibal told the court that in that case, which resulted in an injunction order on 30 May, Kuku FM had 'bodily lifted' the show. The copying was so blatant, he said, that episodes on Kuku FM's platform ended with the line: 'aage ki kahani jaane ke liye, log in kariye Pocket FM par' (to know the rest of the story, log in to Pocket FM). Calling Kuku FM a 'habitual infringer,' Sibal emphasised the repeated and deliberate nature of the alleged conduct, describing it as 'systematised and extensive'. Pocket FM is seeking a permanent injunction to restrain Kuku FM from using its content, destruction of the infringing material, and an award of damages and legal costs. Pocket FM and Kuku FM are Indian audio streaming platforms that offer spoken-word content such as audiobooks, audio series, and podcasts in multiple Indian languages. Both target regional-language listeners across India and compete in the growing audio content market.
