All colour our nation vividly that is unique with its geographical diversity…
Proud to be Indian!

Dear Tantu Enthusiast,
We had celebrated first ever Handloom Day last week on 7th August, 2015. As we know, there are many world famous textiles native to India. I had been to a Textile exhibition on 1st March, 2015 in Bengaluru. I was happy to find a good collection of handloom cotton shirts, Bengali cotton/silk saris, brocades, Chikankari suits/saris by sellers from various parts of India. They were traditional yet very fashionable. The price range was very reasonable. Below are some photographs clicked at Bharatiya Craftmela, enjoy!

So colourful and so beautiful Sindhoooo. Cheers 🙂
Nice :). I like the arrangement of sarees Sindhoo. So colorful and vibrant 🙂
beautiful … reminds me of the days when i was living in our village I would see aunts and mom making such beautiful creations .. Trying to build their dowry.. making fulkari’s and bedsheets etc etc
Is chikankari the same as Lucknowi? I love their shades. I find both very cool against the skin and ideal for Indian summers
That looks so pretty and colourful!
Oh WOW! Beautiful textiles and so much colour! Amazing! I am green with jealousy about your Craftmela, Sindhu 😀 😀 … but thank you so much for sharing! (I think I will add your post to my Pinterest board soon!) Best Wishes, Peggy 🙂
