Celebrating the true spirit of Rajasthan

Bandhani dupattas, lak ki choodis, sarees with the famous block-printing from Rajasthan and handicrafts showcasing the creative brilliance of artisans ��� the ongoing Gram Shri Mela at Jawahar Kala Kendra has it all.
The fair, that���s all about the traditions and culture of Rajasthan, has people pouring in not just from Jaipur, but from neighbouring towns as well, to shop for exquisite handicrafts and be a part of the colourful celebrations.
SHOPAHOLICS��� DELIGHT: Though the fair organised by CAPART is a regular event, however, Jaipurites await the festival with great excitement. ���Every time the fair is held, it has something new to offer. Sometimes some cultural programmes are also organised and that makes for a great evening. I try and come for the fair every time I get to know about it and collect as many interesting things as possible, be it hand-painted mats and mugs or some traditional jewellery,��� smiled Ishi, who was busy buying some pretty anklets from one of the stalls at the fair.
WHAT���S COOL? Chunky silver anklets, hoops, lak bangles in different shapes, hand-made jholas and block-printed stoles were the most asked for items at the fair. ���It���s perhaps the best place to look for trendy and traditional things at reasonable prices. I love the colourful jholas that are difficult to find anywhere else,���said Anuradha, one of the visitors at the festival.
