Colourful handlooms, attractive handicrafts, fancy tops, household items, furniture and furnishings and a host of other items find a place at the ongoing Indian Handicrafts and Handloom Expo – 2009 at Viswapriya Function Hall.
Around 130 stalls of artisans from all over India are displayed at the expo. “This is the fifth time we are conducting the exhibition here. The response here has always been very encouraging. This time we have also introduced some new stalls of ‘darris' from UP.
Antique furniture and handloom divan sets and sofa covers from UP,” said Shoib Alam and Parvez Ahmed Khan, organisers of the expo.
A 5 per cent discount is being offered on debit and credit card payments on all items.
With temperatures soaring high, the expo has an impressive range of soothing cotton dresses and tops from Lucknow and Kashmir.
