Giving a boost to all the entrepreneurs and a cheer to all the shoppers, Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) has set up an extravagant shopping carnival this festive season.

A mega shopping fete is being hosted at Lucknow Metro's Bhootnath and Hazratganj stations. This is your cue to put the cherry on top of your festive shopping- which we know you keep postponing!

There are various options for you here, from homemade chocolates and decadent bakery items, to homemade pickles. Moreover, the carnival exhibits a diverse spread, from fragrant and beautiful flowers to toys to make your kids happy (or perhaps, for your relative's kids as Diwali gifts! Thank us later). From aesthetic handicrafts, to a variety of clothing, this fair can take care of your festive essentials!

And the fact that this Diwali exhibition is taking place at the metro stations of the biggest markets of Lucknow, aka Hazratganj and Bhootnath, your haul scenes are sorted AF! For those who find shopping tedious and have postponed it till the last minute (we're trying not to judge), now you can get done with the whole affair whilst travelling! What a convenient scenario, is it not?

Besides, in this noble cause of going vocal for local, you can check off, from your to-do list, shopping for indigenous products this Diwali!

Revel in the joy and fervour of the festive season and give your celebrations a kickstart with this Diwali Carnival at your very own Lucknow Metro!
