A colourful display of handcrafted terracotta pottery is showcased at the Surajkund International Crafts Mela, featuring traditional Indian earthenware items and decorative clay art. Market stalls are filled with clay kitchenware, including cooking pots, storage containers with lids, bowls, serving dishes, plates, and handcrafted utensils used in traditional households. Neatly arranged tea and coffee sets include miniature clay kulhads, saucers, teapots, and stacks of individual tumblers made from baked earth. Decorative terracotta art pieces such as painted vases, ornamental lamps, and a bright yellow-orange sun face wall hanging add vibrant colour to the stall. Close-up views reveal painted floral motifs, handmade detailing, and natural, earthy shades ranging from brick red to pale brown
