Dastkar is happening in town at Bangalore until 16th August at the Manpho Convention Center (next to Manyata Tech Park). This post is a riot of colors and an overload of images. So, grab a cup of chai and get ready to spend the next 30 mins immersed in these beautiful handicrafts, beaded jewelry, geometric rugs, block-printed handlooms, handcrafted pottery, silk saris and much more.
Most stalls were the regulars, some were missing, and some were new. All set?
You thought I was done writing about Dastkar, didn’t you? I’m sorry folks, but I just can’t get over the excitement that nature bazaar happened so close to home. Yes, I made one final trip on Friday morning and back with some more pictures. So, this is one last post until next year.
Some of the stuff I saw this time was mind blowing. Like this one from Gujarat. I was in awe of the craftsmanship behind the potlis and almost bought the white one (can you spot it?). Some of the totes would be super handy for that quick trip to the grocery store.
I have a huge weakness for lanterns. And, it takes some serious amount of self control to not indulge in yourself when they come in such beautiful colors and shapes. It took some resolve to resist these.
