Hunar Haat, a crafts and cuisine fair held at Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. Rows of white pagoda-style tents line a wide red-carpeted aisle, with red-and-yellow Hunar Haat signboards identifying participating crafts and their home states. Stalls display Khurja pottery from Uttar Pradesh, dry flowers from Nagaland, ceramic mugs and cups, carpets, rugs, shawls and other textiles. Near the entrance, colourful sculptures of folk dancers stand on a platform shaped like open hands beneath a large “Hunar Haat” sign. Visitors, many wearing face masks, browse the stalls while balloons and a decorated Christmas tree add to the fair's seasonal setting.
