The 46-day-long Numaish by All India Industrial Exhibition (AIIE) Society which began on January 1, is hosting Ladies’ Day today, January 9, which begins at 4 pm.

During Ladies’ Day, men and boys above ten years of age will not be allowed inside Numaish.

In 1940, the day was started by the last Nizam of Erstwhile Hyderabad Mir Osman Ali Khan.

Earlier, every Tuesday used to be Ladies’ Day at Numaish. However, seeing the drop in the number of visitors during the day, it was decided to dedicate only a single day during the entire annual exhibition.
