Flavours from all states at Ramjas mela

As part of their centennial celebrations, Ramjas College organized a food and craft mela recently. The stalls at the mela were put up by people from different parts of the country to showcase the crafts of that state or region.

Street food rules the food counter
Chhole bhature, bhel puri, kulhad chai, pao bhaji, along with Chinese such as noodles, manchurian, chilly potato and everything what a college student might love, was served at the food stalls. As students came from other colleges also to be part of the fest, Shefali Kumar, a

KMC

student, told us, "The prices are the same as what we expect to pay outside, and they have everything that a street food lover relishes, so we are enjoying ourselves."

What’s in the bag?
Rajendra Prasad, the principal of the college, was seen buying things from the craft mela, and was the first customer at many stalls. He also bought a bag from the stall of

Enactus Ramjas

(the social entrepreneurial cell of the college), and gifted earrings to some of the girls from their own stall. Showing us some of the items from his bag, he said, "I have bought skirts for my granddaughter and have shopped for some sling bags. I’m enjoying it all!"

Crafts from the distant land
Artisans from different parts of the country were showcasing their stuff at the mela. While Haribai and her granddaughter came from Kutch to sell hand bags, Psy Das came from Visakhapatnam to sell household goods. Siddhi Gupta from Ramjas College said, "There are many options available here and we cannot find some of these items anywhere near-by, so I have bought a lot of stuff."
