Siri Fort Auditorium and its location
Siri Fort Auditorium is a multi-auditorium complex in the Siri Institutional Area, at August Kranti Marg. The Directorate of Film Festivals (DFF), part of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, runs the venue.
The complex has four halls: Auditorium I, Auditorium II, Auditorium III and Auditorium IV. DFF gives their capacities as 1,865, 396, 273 and 67 seats respectively. The combined capacity is stated as 2,500 to 2,601 seats.
DFF records Auditorium I as constructed in 1982 during the Asiad by the Delhi Development Authority. The other halls followed: Auditorium II in 1992, Auditorium III in 1996 and Auditorium IV in 2003.
Finding current event listings
For public performances, look for event details from the organizer rather than treating the venue-hire portal as a public calendar. The official website provides an online booking portal and terms of hiring, but the information is directed toward auditorium bookings rather than a current visitor-facing event schedule.
The venue is used for film screenings, music concerts, dance performances, plays and other cultural programmes. Once you find an event, confirm its date, start time and audience arrangements with the organizer; those details depend on the individual programme.
Entry, tickets and venue rules
Ticketing and entry arrangements depend on the event organizer; the auditorium-hire information does not set out a general public ticketing process. For an event you plan to attend, use the organizer’s instructions for tickets and entry.
During programmes, the complex uses government and private security guards, hand-held metal detectors and door-frame detectors for frisking. Toilets and drinking water are available in the auditoriums. Published details do not describe step-free access, wheelchair seating or lifts, so contact the organizer about access arrangements before you go.

Planning around an event time
Allow time for security checks when planning your arrival, and follow the event organizer’s instructions about when to reach the venue. The morning and evening booking sessions—9 am to 3 pm and 4 pm to 10 pm—are for auditorium hires, not general visitor opening hours.
The hiring terms say use before 9 am or after 10 pm requires prior permission and additional charges, and that the auditorium must be vacated by midnight. Those provisions concern venue bookings, so check the official site before you go for current hiring and venue information.
