Abstract
Bhoot Nagari is a Hindi comedy play presented on 6 July 2026 as part of Rang Aakalan: Children’s Theatre Festival and Workshop 2026. Directed by Gulshan Walia, the play uses humour, romance and supernatural situations to explore fear, courage and superstition. The story follows Pari, a girl who initially believes that ghosts are harmless and enjoys spending time with them. When a ghost approaches her, she becomes frightened after being warned about the danger. Through comic encounters, the play explores how fear can influence people's perceptions and behaviour. The performance was scheduled for 7:15 p.m. at Satyawadi Mandap, Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti, near Rajghat, New Delhi.
