The event featured live demonstrations by skilled artisans, traditional handloom exhibits, and fashion displays highlighting the beauty of handwoven fabrics. Organized by the Indian diaspora and supported by cultural institutions, the celebration aimed to promote sustainable fashion and honor the craftsmanship of India’s weavers. The event also fostered greater appreciation and awareness of Indian handlooms among international audiences.
