Artisans under the PM Vishwakarma programme showcased a range of Indian traditional crafts at the BRICS Cultural Bazar, highlighting the country’s heritage on an international platform.
A delegation of artisans associated with the Prime Minister's Vishwakarma initiative presented a curated collection of India's traditional crafts at the BRICS Cultural Bazar. The showcase featured handloom textiles, woodwork, metalware, and other regional handicrafts, aiming to promote the country's rich artisanal heritage among the BRICS member nations.
Organisers of the cultural bazar positioned the exhibition as a platform for cultural exchange, allowing participating countries to experience each other's artistic traditions. The Indian contingent's display was arranged to underline the diversity of craft techniques practiced across different states.
The event forms part of broader cultural diplomacy efforts accompanying the BRICS summit, where member countries seek to deepen cooperation beyond economic and political domains. By featuring indigenous crafts, India intends to boost visibility for its artisans and potentially open new market opportunities.
No official statements or quantitative data on visitor numbers were released at the time of reporting. The exhibition will remain open for the duration of the BRICS cultural program, after which the displayed items will be returned to their respective artisans.
The participation underscores the government's ongoing support for traditional craft sectors, aligning with broader initiatives to preserve and commercialise heritage skills.
