Rajasthan Heritage Week 2018 1st Day

Rajasthan has artistic and cultural traditions which reflect the ancient Indian way of life. To provide a huge platform to the traditional weavers and artisans of Rajasthan, the government of Rajasthan has taken a step as a part of the Textile Development Program. The name of the show is “Rajasthan Heritage Week”. The main motive behind organizing this show was to uphold the weavers and artisans who have tirelessly worked to continue the legacy of our forefathers. This year’s Rajasthan Heritage Week (RHW) was the third edition of the series. The grand show was hosted at Diggi Palace in which various designers, models, celebrities and weavers from across the globe, particularly Rajasthan, will showcase their extraordinary designs and creations. This three day show was held from 24th October to 26th October and its proper preparations made this event a huge success. Various photo shoots had been done in previous month at different heritage sites of Jaipur with “Khadi” – Wear theme. I attended the three days show and what I really loved about it was how the artisans and weavers were provided such a great platform and also how they got the opportunity to increase their source of erning with their extraordinary handmade designs. Around 20 designers and 15 weavers from all around the globe showcased their creativity on the ramp with handmade creations based on ‘Handmade in Rajasthan’ theme.
