The Surajkund Crafts Mela is an annual event that takes place in the first week of February at Surajkund which is located in Haryana. Surajkund is just an hour's drive from New Delhi and it comes alive for two weeks with the rhythm and beats of folk dances, lots of shopping opportunity and a riot of colors each year. Each year, there is a theme state and artists from that state and other states displayed their prowess in folk painting, batik & leather craft, wooden laquarware, clothing and variety of foods.
The annual Surajkund festival is widely known to showcase the finest handlooms, handicrafts, authentic fragrances & flavours of rich Indian cuisines. Its large open space food court is a great place to try different foods and hang out with friends and family. As North India's winter turns briefly into spring, a caravan of 400 National and State awardee craftpersons from every corner of India wind their way to Surajkund. Craftpersons from SAARC Nations, Thailand, Egypt etc. also participate in the Surajkund Crafts Mela. At Surajkund Mela, the artisans demonstrate their skills as well as sell their creations crafted by their delicate hands into the most beautiful pieces of work. All day, at the Chaupal & later at Natyashala, various dance troupes perform to enthralled audiences. The Surajkund Mela is organized by Haryana Tourism and is held near Faridabad (outskirts of New Delhi). Visitors pay a small entrance fee like Rs. 50. First held in 1981, the event is a popular showcase for traditional Indian arts and crafts and includes a bustling food fair and plenty of live entertainment.
