Rahul Ghai Delhi is known for its markets. And the market in clothes has not only a distinct identity of its own but is much in vogue these days. The markets in the megapolis, the dresses and fashion shows with the signature of big garment companies and top designers lure you in every possible way to buy their product. In the glittering lights over the ramp the Capital creates new celebrities everyday.
Fashions come and go, and everyday the city gears up to meet new desires.
There is so much happening to satiate the consumerist urges of the city-dweller. And amidst all this showbiz came the craftspeople from Rajasthan, with their colourful products from the Thar desert, and the images of sand dunes and folk music. The Urmul Desert Crafts Exhibition has a different ring about it because it represents the collective feelings and interests of hundreds of artisans who have to toil very hard to survive. This year, especially, has been very difficult because of the relentless drought which still continues. These artisans create primarily to fend for themselves.
