Описание: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman participated in the traditional halwa ceremony on Tuesday, marking the final stage of preparations for the Union Budget 2026–27, scheduled to be presented in the Lok Sabha on February 1. Held at North Block on Raisina Hill, the ceremony formally signals the start of the Budget lock-in period, during which officials involved in Budget-making remain secluded until the Finance Minister’s speech in Parliament. Despite most Finance Ministry offices shifting to the Central Secretariat in 2025, the halwa ceremony continues at North Block, preserving a long-standing tradition.
