Demons at Dilli Haat - Leather puppets from Andhra
Interestingly this art skill is used in performances uniformly all over the south east Asia, hindu cultures actually

How is it that no one objects to so many regulars like shawl wallahs, bead jewelry, etc. who are permanent residents at Dilli Haat?
A Festival like Nature is a living culture, I remember visiting it the first time in 1996, that image is still clear in my mind.
Where else in Dilli do you get to see a cross section of crafts, performances, music and dance, social messages (street plays), all in a celebratory mood.
"Celebratory" is an important word in days of now.... recesion, markets crashing
A small mention about the settings that build upto to this atmosphere - the flowing colors drape the space with energies. The fact that Nature can pack so many more stalls than any other time is called being creative, this use space is aesthetic and optimal.
Oh! and even more important is "Access",
Dilli has examples of public performances the Dilli govt and Seher performing art shows not so public Khusrao festival at Nizamuddin, etc.
Nature cuts across ages - kids and their mothers wallowing in clay at Giriraj's wheel handling clay with a purpose, teens at Kailash Patwa's stall hair braiding, etc.
its a nostalgic trip for the olders seeing the old stuff all over again - lacquer toys, putul craft(dolls of Bengal)
The idea of including "non-crafts" is the best and most inclusive approach in with respect to commerce, integration into the markets, expanding clientele, etc.
This is packaging, under the umbrella of craft a cross- section of skills and livelihoods are covered and given a trade platform.
and till now we havnt even gotten the part called organisational management.....
Mr. & Mrs. Govtwallah Please stand up!
