The annual “ Dashtkar Haat” exhibition held at the Kalakshetra Foundation is one exhibition that is totally worth saving up for! The week long exhibition where stalls are put up for different states of India is like Ali Baba’s cave where everything is like a treasure! And the best part of this exhibition is that, every stall is associated with some NGO from the state so you can shop as much as you want guilt free! This makes you shop double because the money is going for charity as well as you get something you like. This year at the Kalakshetra Exhibition, there were more than 100 stalls and each stall sold something different so there was no repetition of goods. From silver jewellery to brass artefacts to quilted linen, this year’s Dashtkar Haat was a myriad of arts and crafts. The silver jewellery sold was so exquisite and one of a kind with all its animal patterns as well as rugged solid neck pieces that will surely stand out. The rainbow colored bags and the multi colored patch work bags were also something that was completely different to the previous years. Another main highlight of the exhibition was that, they were selling customised paper handicrafts. This year, one stall from Jaipur specialised in home needs. They customised tiles, door knobs, mirrors and letter boxes according to the person’s preferences. The Kalakshetra exhibition is getting better by the year and its on event that should be on every person’s must visit for the year!
