The saris, dupattas, kurtas et al were organized in a myriad of tents by their state of origin. They flashed vibrant color from deep on shelves, or ballooned and billowed invitingly in doorways. A central tent held an exhibition of sari weaving and printing techniques, a block printing demonstration and a loom threaded with golden tussar silk.
Since the handloom industry is India's second largest employer (after agriculture), the government plays its part by organizing and funding these amazing sales of everything textile.
beautiful colours, mum!
