Bharat Mandapam (English: /ˈbʱaːrət ˈmən̪ɖəpəm/) is an exhibition hall located within the confines of the sprawling Pragati Maidan complex in New Delhi, India. [4] It is one of the largest convention centres of India, whose design and architecture draws inspiration from the twelfth-century Anubhava Mantapa.[5][6] While the Pragati Maidan complex was inaugurated in 1972, Bharat Mandapam was unveiled in 2023 ahead of the 2023 G20 New Delhi summit. It was constructed on the site of the iconic Hall of Nations, which was controversially razed in 2017 despite court proceedings underway to address the structure’s heritage status. The decision to demolish the Hall while the matter was sub judice sparked significant public outcry.[7]
With a total built-up area of 390,000 sq. metres, the complex includes an iconic, world-class meeting hall that can accommodate 7,000 people in a single format, along with six modern exhibition halls spanning an exhibition area of 150,000 sq. metres. The 2023 G20 New Delhi summit took place at this venue from September 9-10, 2023.[8]
