Surajkund Mela inaugurated

Surajkund Mela, held every February, is the country’s largest crafts fair. It typically lasts for a fortnight (2 weeks or 15 days).

The mela also has artisans and craft work from other countries.

The mela is held at Surajkund – a historical site that has been developed to include an open space for the fair.

This year’s fair was inaugurated by the Vice President, Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar. The Chief Minister of Haryana, Shri M L Khattar, was also present. The fair will end on 19th February, and the Book Fair begins on 25th February.
