Sri Lanka Day at Indian Crafts Mela

Sri Lanka's National Crafts Council, with the assistance of the Sri Lanka High Commission in New Delhi, arranged the participation of Sri Lankan craftspersons and artistes at the annual Surajkund International Crafts Mela 2013 from February 1-15 at Surajkund, Faridabad, Haryana.

Sri Lankan craftspersons and artistes were among participants from over 20 other countries at the international section of the Mela.

Though this is the fifth consecutive year that Sri Lanka is participating in this event, this year the island was afforded the opportunity to stage a 'Sri Lanka Day' at the renowned Mela which has a daily attendance of over 100,000 people, including Indians and foreign tourists.

Masks, rush and reed work, lacquer ware, ceramic ware, wooden toys and batiks, were among the items on display and sale at Sri Lankan stalls. Lanka's traditional sweets and tea were served at the Sri Lanka Tea Stall during the Mela. The National Youth Services Council Cultural Troupe performed traditional dances throughout the Mela.

February 12 was celebrated as the 'Sri Lanka Day' and was inaugurated by High Commissioner Prasad Kariyawasam at the invitation of the organisers.

He was received by the dancers and performers of the Karnataka State which is the theme state at the Mela this year. The cultural troupe presented performances throughout the day at the Open Air Theatre of the Mela ground.
