The Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) in New Delhi, India, hosted this year's Korea Travel Fiesta from Oct. 19-20 in the Indian capital, with actor Anushka Sen, who is also an honorary KTO ambassador in India, attending on opening day. 

The festival featured live performances, stamp collection mission, K-drama photo zones, cultural activities, beauty classes and a food court.

A lottery earned lucky attendees prizes such as a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and smartphone and round-trip tickets to Korea from Thai Airways.

As for the performances, the dance groups Oneway Crew and Jump came all the way from Korea to perform. Oneway showed impressive dance moves while Jump mixed martial arts and comedy. The Indian group DanceSmith also performed to K-pop hits.

Visitors also got to try on Hanbok (traditional costumes), practice traditional calligraphy, play games and get temporary tattoos.

No festival is complete without food. The featured dishes were pajeon (fried pancakes), kimchi jeon (pancake), tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and gimbap (seaweed rice rolls).

Photo booths inspired by K-dramas like "King the Land" and "The Glory" allowed fans to snap photos capturing memorable moments from their favorite series.

Korean Air, Thai Airways, Nchiragtrips and other tourism-related companies had booths to offer tour packages.

Visitors who collected all stamps from designated booths could redeem them for gifts like K-pop albums, Korean-themed keychains, chopsticks and passport covers.

I also won a prize at a Korean food quiz on identifying the names of dishes.

And the K-pop Random Dance Competition offered an exciting platform for dancers to showcase their skills and passion for K-pop, and the KTO gave all of them prizes.
