Surat: Hunar Haat to be open for public from today

“The motive behind the event is to give space to those artisans of the country who do not such a platform to sell their products, including sarees, furniture items, hand-made jewellery items, carpets, toys, handicrafts, showpieces, etc. The visitors will also have a chance to eat dishes from various states in the food court section,” said Raghvendra Dwivedi, the media advisor of the event.

“The artisans haven’t paid a single penny and the entire expense is born by the ministry. Hunar Haat started in 2016 and since then, it has been hosted in different states and districts across the country,” he said.

The event will also see daily cultural programmes, including performances by renowned Bollywood singers. In addition, the public can also watch for free the performance of Rambo International Circus.

Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi visited the venue Friday afternoon to oversee the preparations.
