India put its celebrated heritage of traditional craftsmanship on display as eight skilled artisans participated in a Cultural Bazaar organised concurrently with the BRICS Parliamentary Forum. The initiative aimed to give international delegates attending the parliamentary gathering direct exposure to India's diverse indigenous crafts and time-honoured techniques.
The two-day exhibition served as a cultural bridge, allowing visitors to engage with master artisans demonstrating their specialised skills across various traditional crafts. Through live demonstrations and direct interaction, the artisans offered participants insight into the intricate processes that define India's artisanal heritage.
The Cultural Bazaar represented an effort to showcase India's soft power through its cultural and creative sectors. By bringing together parliamentary delegates from BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—the exhibition highlighted the economic and cultural significance of traditional crafts in contemporary India.
Such cultural exchanges at international forums underscore India's commitment to preserving and promoting its artisanal traditions on the global stage while fostering cross-cultural understanding among BRICS member nations.
