URBAN HAAT - INDIA

The culture of India is the way of life of the people in India. India's languages, religions, dance, music, architecture, food, and customs differ from place to place within the country. The Indian culture often labelled as an amalgamation of several cultures, spans across the Indian subcontinent and has been influenced by a history that is several millennia old. Many elements of India's diverse cultures, such as Indian religions, yoga and Indian cuisine, have had a profound impact across the world.

Modern art forms are impressive and attract more attention toward them but they cannot match everlasting mark of culture and tradition of a certain place as the rural arts and crafts.

These arts forms speak for themselves, and it’s the need of the hour to keep the glory of past and encourage them. Especially in country like India, which is filled with these cultural heritages and is passed on from generations for thousands of years? But in recent times these seems to be lost. Hence, this project will act as platform for artisans to showcase their talent.

This will also help them economically, as these project are a part of Govt. of India’s policy for setting up of permanent marketing infrastructure to eliminate the middle agencies facilitating the artisans to sell their products directly to the customers

The site of the haat is in mahabalipuram where tourists visit from various places will get to see the diversity of India, witness spectacular performances and also savour the Indian food. It will provide workshops, theatres and galleries for artisans to showcase and enhance their talents.
