Event Description: 39th Surajkund International Atmanirbhar Craft Festival 2026

A splash of colours, rhythm of drum beats and joy de-Vivre merge at Surajkund in Faridabad, Haryana, during the first fortnight of each February. The curtains go up on the acclaimed annual Surajkund International Crafts Mela from 1st February onwards, a celebration of Indian folk traditions and cultural heritage.

Occupying a place of pride on the international tourist calendar, more than a million visitors throng the Mela during the fortnight, including thousands of foreign tourists. The Surajkund Mela is unique as it showcases the richness and diversity of the handicrafts, handlooms and cultural fabric of India, & is the largest crafts fair in the world.

A large number of renowned national and international folk artistes and cultural groups present day performances at both the Chaupals and the open-air theatres, located in the Mela premises. Also, enthralling cultural programmes are held at the main Chaupal each evening of the Mela. The Mela is indeed a custodian of heritage crafts involving the use of traditional skills that are fading away due to cheap machine-made imitations, and a special section is earmarked for showcasing these heritage crafts.

The multi-cuisine Food Court offers ethnic cuisines from around the world, which are immensely popular with visitors. There are designated places for amusement, adventure sports and joy rides to make it a must-visit event for the young.
