Craft Melas attract me in a special way. The riot of colours, the variety of forms, interacting with the artisans, touching the fabrics and absorbing the designs-- all are very therapeutic. And bargaining is an additional attraction!!
Here are glimpses from my recent sojourn to such a mela at Bandra in Mumbai.
