The National Handicraft Fair 2022
A Government of Punjab Initiative 2022.
The National Handicraft Fair is an annual event hosted by the Government of India to celebrate the rich cultural and material heritage of Indian handicrafts as well as the craftsmen and women who create them. This year the event was to take place in Amritsar, a HRIDAY heritage city in Punjab.
I was full of inspiration from my then recent trip to Pondicherry, a French colonial settlement in India presently with the status of a Union Territory. And chose to capture this beauty of the crafts from this town which is physically located within the boundaries of Tamil Nadu, and its administrative territory lies scattered in the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala.
