Surajkund Crafts Mela

One of the reasons we chose to visit India in February was because this special two week craft fair was taking place. Craft people from all over India and neighbouring countries come to exhibit their work. It is based about 20km from New Delhi. We stayed in a hotel just over the road from it which meant we could walk there (although crossing the road was interesting).


The quantity and variety of textiles on display was amazing.

The whole site was beautifully laid out and decorated. Birds, in particular were very popular.


I really loved the giant fabric flowers. I have made ones like this with florist wire and old tights but these were huge, nearly a metre across.


There was also plenty of entertainment - music, acrobatics and dancing.
