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. And this is definitely for all those loyal patrons who have been religiously attending every annual edition of Dastkar’s Nature Bazaar, {we know there are quite a few of you out there}. 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.

Why Should I Go For It?

Dastkar’s Nature Bazaar is probably one of the most anticipated exhibitions in the city. The arts and crafts carnival will last 10 days and feature over 100 stalls set up by different cooperatives and local artisans from all over the country. From hand-embroidered cotton handloom sarees by the Lambadi women from Porgai, patti ka kaam, Banarasi and Jamdani sarees to bead jewellery, wooden lacquer toys and much more, get our hands on the best of Indian looms and crafts to add to your collection.
