Welcome to the photo website on SurajKund Mela 2010: The Popular Indian Crafts Fair

Scroll down and read a few lines  and see some teaser photos before surfing this site.

After my maiden visit to the SurajKund Mela (14 February 2010), I made this site in some 4 hours for fun and documentation. This website has close to 200 photos from the 24th SurajKund Crafts fair, 2010.

These photos also give you a glimpse of the Indian life, Indian culture, Indian people, Indian life style, Indian food, Indian way of life apart from the Indian handicrafts. This is a personal non-profit endeavour in common good.

Thanks to lack of time I have put all craft stalls’ photos in three sections and not categorized them according to various crafts like glassware, metal, wood work, paintings, cane work, home decorations etc. I was there from about 12 pm to 4 pm and shot more than 450 photos as I visited more than 90 per cent of the stalls and venues in the fair.

Do visit all my other blogs such as the JNU Holi and the Delhi Zoo. Feel free to leave a comment on any page. You are free to share this website or the images or republish them for non-commercial purposes as long as you are attributing them to me.

Feel free to link to this site (use the alt tag ‘surajkund mela’).

The trip was a part of JNU students’ excursion to the fair. You will therefore also find a page on that in the header.

Enjoy and do tell your friends about it. Hope you like what you see.

The SurajKund Crafts Mela “celebrates the finest handloom and handicraft traditions of the country. It is a fortnight long event that embodies the spirit that runs through the people of India and its rich culture. It is held in the month of February from 1st-15th. ” Read more about it here. You can also see some more pics of the fair by Indian Homemaker here.
