Event Description : 29th Surajkund International Crafts Mela 2015.
The Mela showcases the richness and diversity of the handicrafts, handlooms and the cultural heritage of India. The idea of hosting the Mela is to recreate a pristine rural ambience for foreign and domestic tourists, tell the patrons of arts and crafts of the skills involved in creative arts, to introduce craftspersons directly to the buyers, and to identify, nurture and preserve the languishing crafts of the country.
It is jointly hosted by Haryana Tourism Corporation and Surajkund Mela Authority in collaboration with the Union Ministries of Tourism, Textiles, Culture and External Affairs. This festival has come to occupy a place of pride and prominence, attracting more than a million domestic and foreign visitors during the Mela fortnight.
Uniqueness of the Mela is that one of the Indian states gets the honour to occupy the position of the Theme State each year. The Theme State was conceptualized broadly with a view to promote and focus the art, craft and cuisine of each state of India every year.
Theme State : Chhattisgarh
Mrs Sumita Misra, Managing Director, Haryana Tourism Corporation, informed that Chhattisgarh has been chosen as the Theme State for the 29th Surajkund International Crafts Mela-2015. The Mela provides a rare opportunity to the Theme State to showcase its handicrafts, handlooms, performing arts, cuisine and its tourist potential to a vast cross-section of people.
Chhattisgarh will showcase its tribal heritage and culture, which is still
found well-preserved in the forests of Bastar. The skilled craftspersons, talented artistes and master chefs from the state will participate in the Mela. Also, an ethnic ambience representing the state’s rural ethos will be created on the Mela grounds.
Partner N ation : Lebanon
Mrs Misra further disclosed that Lebanon will be the Partner Nation for the 29th Surajkund International Crafts Mela-2015. The craftspersons, cultural troupes and master chefs from the Mediterranean nation will present their talent and skills to enthrall the visitors at the forthcoming Mela. About 20 countries have already been confirmed for participation in the Surajkund International Crafts Mela-2015.
