Chandigarh, Nov. 30 -- The ongoing 10-day National Crafts Mela at Kalagram, organised by the North Zone Cultural Centre (NZCC) in association with the Chandigarh Administration, experienced a massive influx of thousands of visitors from across the tricity on its second day, Saturday. The day's events made the venue feel like a miniature representation of India's cultural diversity. A highlight of the morning was a quiz contest moderated by Dr Saurabh Bhatt from Jaipur, which saw participation from over 400 students from various parts of the tricity. The stage performances featured a rich array of folk dances including Sirmauri Naati (Himachal Pradesh), Dhamali (Jammu & Kashmir), Gudum Baja (Madhya Pradesh), Gaur Maria (Chhattisgarh), Pung Cholom (Manipur), Luddi (Punjab), and Natua (West Bengal), all of which delighted the audience. Earlier, a folk musical symphony and folk dances from various states kept the audience hooked for hours; the musical symphony, directed by NZCC director Mohammed Furqan Khan, was the show-stopper performance of the day. This was followed by a well-choreographed presentation featuring dozens of folk dances directed by renowned choreographer Sushil Sharma, which received huge applause. The evening saw Jaipur's Sufi singer Jitti Jagjit perform hit numbers such as "Sajjan raazi ho jave", "Chhaap tilak sab chheeni", "Mamla gadbad hai", etc, which evoked a strong response from the crowd. However, the star performer of the evening was Sufi legend Kanwar Grewal, who performed hit numbers like "Ishq bulle nu nachawe yaar" and "Mast bana denge beeba". Products ranging from perfumes, purses, designer wears, crockery items, wooden furniture and traditional women wear were in high demand. Food enthusiasts enjoyed a variety of delectable dishes from across the country, while tiny tots had fun with camel rides and other activities. The cultural celebration is set to continue, with popular Bollywood singer Sudesh Bhosale scheduled to regale the audience with his popular numbers on Sunday....
