Dastkari Haat will also have a special exhibition by 15 craftspersons who worked on 10 new sari designs during the pandemic each. So, be sure to find natural block prints, dyeing, weaving, batik, shibori and tons of other stunning prints. Apart from that, there will also be a launch of the book named, "The Craft Skills Of India" which showcases over 100 styles and techniques with respect to the textile industry in the country.
Head to this two-week long event to support local artisans of the country who seldom get the chance to display their artwork at a place that gets footfall as much as Dilli Haat.
