This Is Not A Drill! Dastkar's Nature Bazaar Is Back With The Best Of Indian Looms And Crafts

What Is It?

Dastkar needs no introduction. But we’ll give you one anyway. Remember the exhibition that your mother used to drag everyone to that you thought you’d hate but actually ended up enjoying? Yep! That was probably Dastkar’s Nature Bazaar. With shops and stalls featuring handlooms and handicrafts from most states across the country, this 10-day long exhibition cum sale is a treasure trove of sarees, shawls, stationery, decor, toys and more.

Who Is It For?

This is for those who appreciate the diversity of the Indian arts and crafts scene and love the unique aesthetic of handwoven and handcrafted products.

Keep the streak going and don’t give this one a miss as it promises to be just as great and exciting as its precedents.
