Tribal crafts weave magic at 'Adishilp'

Around 150 tribal artisans are showcasing their works at "Adishilp", inaugurated Friday by Tribal Affairs Minister V. Kishore Chandra Deo at Dilli Haat.

Tribal artisans from all over the country are participating. They will present craft items, handloom products, dry flowers, cane and bamboo products, tribal jewellery, dhokra craft, tribal weaves and embroidery, tribal paintings and a lot more.

The main objective of organising "Aadishilp" is to give tribal artisans an opportunity to showcase and sell their traditional arts and crafts directly to the customers and get feedback which would provide valuable inputs, an official release said.

It provides them a platform for direct interface with art and craft lovers, share their talent with the urban elite and know the customers' tastes and preferences to change their product designs and creations.
