The organisers resumed the show after the team completed their performance on a religious song. Swadeshi mela is being organised by Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) and Centre for Economic Policy Research, to counter the growing presence of Chinese goods in the local market and promote Indian products.

About 300 stalls have been put up in it.
