Delhi Haat Photo Gallery by Jyothi Karthik Raja at pbase.com

Delhi Haat

The Delhi Haat is an Arts and Crafts market developed by the Indian Government. A "Haat" is
is rural market that is constantly on the move. Craftsmen set up markets to display their wares.
Here in the Delhi Haat, the area has been designed like a rural village, and artists from all over
India come to showcase the crafts and work from their region.
The Haat also serves as a great place to taste sample Indian food from all the states.
It is truly a delight to the palate.
This market is spread over a six acre spread with imaginative traditional
rural architecture and provides an ambience for the market. The stone and brickwork paved
paths interspersed with grass patches make browsing and ambling fun.

The Haat also serves as a spot for exhibitions from all over India. This gallery showcases
performances and exhibits from "Dastkar" - honoring the craftsperson rather than the crafts,
and also an exhibit titled "Mapping ancient Indian crafts with Jaya Jaitley". The works featured here are
from this exhibition. Artists painstakingly painted maps showcasing the different crafts
from each state in India. The color and the detail of these paintings are a treat to the viewer.
I have tried to photograph as many as I could. If you want to see one in particular, let me
know and I shall send you the 6 megapixel version.
