On this auspicious occasion, let the hardworking artisans and craftsmen of the state also become part of the joy of your celebrations, whose art and continuous dedication are enriching our cultural heritage from generation to generation.”
The Chief Minister wrote, “The world-famous carpets of Bhadohi, the Munj craft of Prayagraj, the Tarkashi craft of Mainpuri and the wooden toys of Chitrakoot are distinctive identities of Uttar Pradesh. The state’s exports have increased from ₹84 thousand crore in 2016-17 to over ₹2 lakh crore in 2025-26, which is proof of the entrepreneurial spirit and capabilities of our artisans and craftsmen. The modern Expo Marts in Lucknow and Greater Noida, along with Bhadohi’s ‘Carpet Bazaar’, are today giving the state’s traditional crafts a new identity on global platforms.”
