RangSutra and INTACH Event

The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) and RangSutra are holding an event on traditional Indian crafts. They describe it as an invitation to discover "our traditional crafts and unique products".

RangSutra describe themselves as "a company of a thousand artisans from remote regions of India – the deserts of Rajasthan, hill regions of Uttaranchal and Assam.

Our goal is to ensure sustainable livelihoods for artisans and farmers, by creating top quality hand made products based on the principles of fair trade and a celebration of India’s rich craft heritage."

Heritage Walks in Delhi

If you've had a look at the major sites in Delhi, and been to the National Museum, try the website or facebook page of cultural heritage protection group INTACH. The group, or occasionally its members, advertise archaeological and heritage walks. These lead through areas such as the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, last a few hours, and are usually very reasonably priced. Try the website, or for a more community-based group, a simple search on facebook should lead you to their page.
