Since a few days, the South Central Zone Cultural Center has witnessed a large crowd and is the centre of attraction. Before you run too much of your mind, know that the 27th Orange City Craft Mela is the reason for this. The exhibition is definitely a must-visit for all of us. Creativity attracts the Nagpur crowd at large, and people love the various artifacts exhibited there to be sold out — maybe pottery, furniture, or handloom products; almost everything is available over there for sale. The Craft Mela has a wide range of products to offer, including terracotta, khurja, rugs and papermeshi. Women are attracted to the jewellery, Chanderi sarees, Paithani Sarees and Banarasi Sarees. Footwear, too, isn’t left behind, and they have a Punjabi jooti to offer. Artworks include metal crafts, wooden crafts, jute crafts, glass art and zari work. The famous Phulkari is also shown. Bell metal, khadi, leather puppets and other handicraft materials are also on display at the exhibition. With so many things out there, one surely has a lot of choices to buy stuff from.
For people who get food-seeking every single hour, be advised that there is also a good counter. Yes, you’ve heard that right! The venue has a lot of food stalls with mouth-watering snacks and dishes to pacify your hungry stomach. There are also some appetizers! The Mela Craft would continue until the coming Sunday, the 19th of January, 2020. Timings for the exhibition are from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and the entry fee for the exhibition is Rs 25 per person.
