What is worn for Surajkund International Crafts Mela
The Surajkund International Crafts Mela is held each February at Surajkund, in Faridabad, Haryana, near Delhi, and usually runs for the first fortnight of the month. Craftspeople from across India and from other countries bring textiles, pottery, metalwork and furniture, and each year one state is chosen as theme state. Weavers and printers from many regions sell handloom sarees, from Bengal cottons and Odisha ikat to Banarasi, Chanderi and Kanchipuram silks, and buyers meet them directly. Food stalls, music and dance programmes fill the evenings. The dates change slightly from year to year, so check the announcement before travelling.
Also part of it, and being written: Handloom (Handloom sarees from many states are sold directly by weavers.).
