Hello lovely readers, Shubho bijoya to all (as most of you will be reading this post-Dussehra). In this post, I will share my first experience celebrating a full-fledged Hindu festival in Seattle. I did celebrate Holi in March of this year, but it was a homely affair with a few friends coming to our place for food and games. However, we did end up playing with colors, which was totally fun.

Shopaholic’s haven is what I call this fair. It is the largest craft fair in the world and certainly the perfect blend of colours, fun and joy.

The Surajkund Crafts Mela is an annual festival that starts from 2nd of February. Every year they have a special theme state and an international partner nation. Uttar Pradesh was this year’s theme state. The state presented the best of their art, craft and culture to the audience. Millions of people come to witness the grandness of the fair.

In 2017, the Ministry of Development of the North Eastern Region (DoNER) organized a festival to celebrate northeast India’s cultural diversity, rich art and craft, delectable delicacies, music, and the business opportunities this region offers. This two-day-long festival took place on September 9th and 10th at India Gate in Delhi and saw a huge footfall.
