Hunar Haat Chandigarh 2022 | 25 March – 3 April 2022
About Hunar Haat Chandigarh
“Hunar Haat Chandigarh” is an effective mission to showcase-promote traditional & exquisite skills of master artisans.
Our country is full of the indigenous legacy of master artisans and craftsmen. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, these master artisans and craftsmen have their own identities and specialty. But due to lack of opportunities and market, the younger generations of these artisans had been moving away from their legacy. The Government has been organizing “Hunar Haat Chandigarh” in every corner of the country to preserve crafts and promote and provide vast market opportunities to our indigenous legacy of artisans and craftsmen.
These “Hunar Haat” proved to be an “Empowerment Exchange” for master artisans and craftsmen of the country. More than 8 Lakh 50 Thousand master artisans and craftsmen and other people associated with them have been provided employment and employment opportunities through “Hunar Haat” in the last about 7 years.
Besides showcasing rare handmade Handicraft and Handloom items, “Bawarchikhana” at “Hunar Haat” presents traditional delicacies from across the country to visitors coming at “Hunar Haat Chandigarh.” The people coming to “Hunar Haat” also enjoy traditional cultural programs and music from every corner of the country. “Hunar Haat” is based on the commitment to “Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat” and “Unity in Diversity.” The theme for Hunar Haat is the “Vocal For Local” and “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” theme.
