Dastkar exhibition titled “The Nature Bazaar” is happening in palace grounds , Bangalore. I visited the stalls yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Last time when they had exhibition here , my wife had picked quiet a few colorful decorative pieces. The exhibition is a visual treat with its colorful atmosphere and vibrant designs in various forms.

I have visited the dastkar melas held here in Delhi. Its a visual treat as one can see the local art come alive there. We should encourage local arts and crafts by buying and promoting their products else it would die a silent death. Am glad you wrote a post on it.

Ya Shas , its a visual treat these melas and makes us proud of traditional arts from various parts of our country. It gives a good platform for the artisans to sell as well as promote their products.
