Madhubani murals, blue pottery, ikat sarees, kalamkari print apparels, and moonj baskets are among the many handcrafted items being showcased at an ongoing exhibition here.

'Inside and outside- The Home Bazaar', organised by Dastkar, features a vibrant mix of handmade home decor and lifestyle accessories, home furnishings and garden decor, by over 70 craft groups, NGOs, artisans and designers from across India.

"The beauty of handicrafts is that they are fashioned to be both functional and decorative, and that each piece can be distinctive and different.

"'Inside-Outside' reflects this - with products meant for your kitchen, your garden, your bedroom, and your work space. An added bonus, buying and using them also enriches the lives of their makers," Laila Tyabji, founder of Dastkar, said.

 

The exhibition-cum-sale at Nature Bazaar here, that began on August 13, has on display products showcasing art forms ranging from handloom weaves, embroideries, and block prints to centuries old traditions of marble inlay, dokra metal craft and Gond and Madhubani folk art.

The line-up of products will also include cane, bamboo and wooden products, copper decoratives, terracotta, granite and sandstone products, plants and planters and recycled paper products among others.

The bazaar will also see cultural performances, music from the north-east and food stalls.

The even will come to a close on September 3.
