In a re-run of the successful maiden exhibition of clay and held last Diwali, the State Government is set to organise a three-day exhibition to promote pottery and clayware this Diwali season as well. The UP Mati Kala Board has started preparations for the event during which 150 artisans from across the state will showcase their products.
With the focus on Vocal for Local, the main attraction of the exhibition will be products like idols of Lord Ganesh and Lakshmi, decorative earthen lamps and other clay and handmade products that are in demand during the festival of lights.
The exhibition had ended on a memorable note for the artisans when chief minister Yogi Adiyanath bought all their products when they went to meet him on the concluding day of the exhibition.
