10-day handloom exhibition begins

Visakhapatnam: An array of cotton and handloom clothes in subtle and bright colours has been displayed at the handloom and handicraft exhibition-cum-sale that got underway here on Monday.

Hosted by Bhavanarushi Chenetha Karmikula Sangam, the Vijayawada-based association aims to bring in weavers, craftsmen and entrepreneurs from different States and provide them a platform to market their wares.

Close to 50 counters exhibited products such as kurtas, handloom saris, kora-banarasi saris, Kalamkari saris, skirts and dress material, trinkets and bags, among others. Keeping the humid weather in view, the organisers said that weavers brought in a range of easy-to-carry clothes.
