About Talkatora Indoor Stadium
Talkatora Indoor Stadium is a 3,035-seat indoor arena owned and run by the New Delhi Municipal Council. It sits inside Talkatora Garden, a Mughal-era garden named after the bowl-shaped hollow (katora) beside its old tank (tal), on the ridge near President's Estate. The upgraded stadium was inaugurated in February 2010 and hosted boxing at that year's Commonwealth Games. The wrestling scenes of the film Dangal were shot here. Its size makes it a favourite for shows that are too big for an auditorium but too small for an arena: live music and qawwali nights, festive dandiya events, charity star nights, ticketed stage shows and political or trade-union conventions, alongside indoor sport.
Tips before you go
- No metro station is within easy walking distance. Take an auto or cab from Ramakrishna Ashram Marg, Shivaji Stadium or Rajiv Chowk, or book a cab both ways.
- The stadium is tucked inside Talkatora Garden in the President's Estate area. Give your driver the stadium name, not just "Talkatora", so you are dropped at the right entrance.
- With about 3,000 seats, popular shows sell out quickly, so book early through the official ticketing partner.
- The roads around the President's Estate are quiet late at night. Arrange your ride home before the show ends.
