Pune, Oct 15 (UNI) Karigar Bazaar will return to Pune from October 23 to November 1 with its second edition, bringing together over 250 artisan-led stalls showcasing India’s traditional crafts, textiles, art and festive products from more than 26 states and union territories at the historic Dutch Palace, Bund Garden.
The ten-day event will be held from October 23 to November 1, at the historic Dutch Palace, Bund Garden, Pune.
Organised by Craft and Artisan Revival LLP, the second edition of Karigar Bazaar will bring together more than 250 artisan-led stalls representing crafts from over 26 states and union territories across India.
The event aims to offer Punekars an opportunity to discover the country’s diverse handmade traditions, meet the people behind the crafts and support artisans who continue to preserve India’s rich cultural heritage.
Building on the success of its previous edition, this year’s Diwali special promises a wider and more vibrant showcase of traditional and contemporary handmade products.
Visitors can explore an extensive range of textiles and weaves, embroidery, folk and tribal art, jewellery, accessories, home décor, lifestyle products and festive gifting options.
With Diwali around the corner, the bazaar will offer an opportunity to discover distinctive handmade products for homes and celebrations while supporting the artisans and communities behind them.
Karigar Bazaar seeks to distinguish itself from conventional exhibitions and flea markets by placing artisans at the centre of the experience. Rather than simply bringing products together under one roof, the event celebrates the skills, stories and cultural traditions behind each creation.
Visitors will have the opportunity to discover regional craft traditions and appreciate the workmanship involved in creating handmade products. UNI SP AAB
