The complex’s address is August Kranti Marg, New Delhi. For station access and Delhi connections, see how Kailash Colony Metro connects with Delhi.
Finding current shows and screenings
- Opening hours
- they describe sessions for hiring an auditorium
Event listings are the place to start when you’re looking for a screening or performance, because the venue hosts different kinds of programmes. Check the official site before you go for current venue information, then confirm the event details with its organiser.
The Directorate of Film Festivals (DFF) describes the halls as available for cultural performances and film screenings. Its rental hours are not public opening hours: they describe sessions for hiring an auditorium. A scheduled event’s timing and entry arrangements should therefore be checked with the organiser.
Tickets and entry information
- Ticket
- collection process for visitors
Ticket sales and entrance arrangements are handled by the client that hires an auditorium, so ticket procedures can depend on the event. DFF’s hiring terms don’t set out a general venue box office or ticket-collection process for visitors; look to the event organiser for how to buy or collect tickets.
The hiring terms assign ticket sales, gatekeeper appointments and entrance management to the hiring client. They also say food and beverages, including water bottles, are not allowed inside the auditorium, though catering points may serve soft drinks and snacks. Smoking is prohibited on the premises.
The hiring terms give separate capacities for the four halls: Auditorium I seats 1,865, Auditorium II seats 396, Auditorium III seats 276 and Auditorium IV seats 65. Sitting plans for Auditoriums I and II, along with the complex layout plan, can be obtained in person.
How do you get to Siri Fort Auditorium?
Hauz Khas is the nearest metro station to the Siri Fort Complex identified by Delhi Tourism, and it is on the Yellow Line. Use that as a starting point when planning a public-transport journey, then check your route and the event organiser’s directions for the final approach.
From Hotel Atithi, Siri Fort Auditorium is about 19 minutes by car; check parking arrangements with the event organiser before setting out.
A one-day route around Kailash Colony and South Delhi can help you consider how an event might fit with other stops in the area.
DFF’s auditorium pages don’t confirm visitor parking availability or identify a best public-transport stop. If you plan to drive, check parking arrangements with the event organiser before setting out rather than assuming spaces are available.
DFF also gives auditorium hiring sessions, which are not visitor opening hours: morning rentals run from 9am to 3pm, and evening rentals from 4pm to 10pm. These times apply to auditorium hire, not the doors or schedule for a public event.
