Kashmiri Women Artisans Debut at Punjab Trade Expo
For the first time, the Punjab International Trade Expo in Amritsar featured beautiful handmade items from Kashmiri women.
These items, like special shawls and embroidered pillow covers, were shown as part of a program called Studio Saksham.
This program helps women from villages to sell their crafts.
The expo ran from December 4 to December 8 and also included items from women in other states like Telangana and Maharashtra.
The goal is to help these women show their skills and earn money from their hard work.
Kashmiri women artisans debuted their handcrafted goods at the Punjab International Trade Expo (PITEX) in Amritsar.
The display is part of the Studio Saksham initiative by the Rouble Nagi Art Foundation (RNAF).
The expo features handcrafted goods from over 6,000 women across India, including states like Telangana, Jharkhand, and Maharashtra.
The Kashmiri collection includes Pashmina shawls, cushion covers with Aari embroidery, and traditional crewel work.
