The Crafts Council of Telangana will host the two-day 'Threads of Hope Bazaar' in Hyderabad on July 31 and August 1, bringing together 26 artisan groups affected by the Dastkar Nature Bazaar fire to help restore livelihoods through the sale of handcrafted products.

Hyderabad: Crafts Council of Telangana (CCT) is organising ‘Threads of Hope Bazaar’, a special solidarity initiative dedicated to supporting artisans, craft communities, and small creative enterprises affected by the devastating fire that swept through Dastkar Nature Bazaar, New Delhi, earlier this year.

The blaze destroyed stalls, inventories, and years of painstaking work, leaving numerous artisans facing severe livelihood challenges.
