Delhi’s January winter lived up to its reputation, with temperatures dipping below 10 degrees on most days. Setting up and managing the stall in such chilly weather was no easy feat, and attracting visitors under these conditions was equally challenging. However, the warmth and enthusiasm of the attendees made it worthwhile. I was heartened to see people braving the cold to appreciate and support handmade art. Their genuine interest and encouragement were a testament to the timeless appeal of traditional crafts like Madhubani.
Highlights of the Event
The response to my collection of Madhubani-inspired wearable art, paintings, and handcrafted products exceeded my expectations. Here are some key highlights:
Engaging with Followers: Meeting many Instagram followers in person was incredibly fulfilling. Some traveled long distances to visit the event and see my work firsthand, which touched my heart.
The exhibition helped me connect with many new buyers and art enthusiasts. I was also thrilled to welcome many new followers to my journey. The conversations and exchanges we shared added so much value to the experience.
Direct interactions with visitors provided valuable feedback about my work. Their appreciation and suggestions will guide me in creating new designs and collections.
A Special Thanks to My Sister
This event would not have been the same without the unwavering support of my younger sister, Subhashini, who lives in Delhi. She was my constant companion throughout the exhibition, helping with everything from setting up the stall to interacting with visitors. Her belief in my work and her willingness to brave the cold alongside me made all the difference. Subhashini’s love for handmade art and her dedication to supporting my craft has been a source of immense strength for me.
Reflecting on the Journey
Participating in Dastkar’s "Craft & Design" was a dream come true. The event reaffirmed my belief in the power of traditional art forms and the importance of creating spaces where artisans can connect directly with their audience. It also reminded me of the hard work and perseverance that make such events successful.
Looking back on this experience, I am grateful for everyone who visited my stall, supported my work, and shared encouraging words. Whether you purchased something, followed my journey online, or stopped by to appreciate the art, your presence meant the world to me.
Looking Ahead
This is just the beginning of many more exciting opportunities to come. I am energized by the connections made and the possibilities that lie ahead. With every new experience, I strive to bring the essence of Madhubani art to a broader audience, keeping its rich tradition alive while giving it a contemporary touch.
Thank you to everyone who made this journey special. Let’s continue celebrating the beauty of handmade art together.

Event Details:
I'd love for you to visit if you’re in New Delhi or nearby. Let’s celebrate the beauty of handmade traditions together!
From the moment the event opened, I could feel the warmth and curiosity of the Chennai audience. The city’s love for art and culture was evident in the way visitors engaged with my Madhubani creations—asking thoughtful questions about the history, techniques, and stories behind each piece.
One of the most rewarding aspects was interacting with foreign visitors, many of whom were drawn to Madhubani art's intricate details and vibrant colors. It was truly humbling to see them embrace this ancient Indian art form, and several of them even purchased pieces to take a little part of India back with them.
The event provided a platform to share my work and the story of Madhubani art—its roots in Bihar, the symbolism behind the motifs, and the labor of love that goes into every brushstroke. Watching people resonate with this story and invest in these creations reaffirmed why I do what I do.
Overall, the two days were filled with meaningful conversations, new connections, and the joy of seeing my art find its way into the homes of art lovers from different walks of life. I’m deeply grateful to the organizers of By Hand From The Heart for curating such a vibrant and inclusive event and to everyone who visited my stall.
As I pack up and reflect on this beautiful experience, I carry with me the joy of a successful event and the inspiration to create even more. Until next time, Chennai—thank you for your love and support!
