I've never really been an exhibition enthusiast... more of the 'store and mall' shopper...
A certain difficult phase made me go on this shopping spree of sorts, intended to be nothing but a stress-relieving affair!
It was beyond lovely... I cannot describe the myriad of colours i was engulfed in!
This was an exhibition held at Palace Grounds, Bangalore, called
Dastakar : Nature Bazaar! (
Dastakar meaning Tradesman/Crafts-person in
Hindi)
The moment I set foot into the compound, I just felt so much better, there was this utterly charming energy about the whole place! I was on a roll, shopping left, right and center! Quenching my weaknesses for bags, jewelry and other trinkets! The most satisfying thing was that nearly everything at the exhibition was environment-friendly and organic.
Truly fulfilling, especially since i've become an eco-friendly junkie after turning vegan!
From upholstery to furniture to art pieces to apparel... name it and it was all there!
The flavours and textures of every state of the country were brought together in the most beautiful manner...
There was mouth-watering food as well... i had some bhajji pakoras, (spicy green chilly fritters) traditional Indian junk food!! Heaven! =) =P
A folk dance performance added to the vibrancy...........
Its just wonderful to see that nature is so full of gorgeousness!!! =)...
In its roots and through man's creations derived from it....
