Bengaluru’s Freedom Park hosted a vibrant flea market, bringing different cultures and art forms from various parts of the country. The flea market, which concluded recently, had over 160 craftsmen from 25 states of India with a mix of interesting products, traditions and skills. “We have been hosting these bazaars in the city for over 40 years, and what stands out this time around is the venue, which is Freedom Park, and the number of stalls and craftsmen has also increased”, shared one of the organisers of the event.

From textiles like Jamdari, Lambani, Chikinkaari, Chanderi, Arjekh Block print, Kalamkari, to crafts like Meenakari jewellery, leather bags, terracotta and blue pottery to folk art like Pichwai, Bhil, Tanjore painting, and Madhubani painting stood out bright at the colourful bazaar, and it seemed like a mini-India in Bengaluru.
