Celebrating Rajasthan’s Rich Art, Craft & Heritage
The 4th Edition of Nanhe Kalakaar Festival was designed as a vibrant cultural immersion, showcasing the timeless crafts, traditional art forms, folk practices, and living heritage of Rajasthan.
The goal was not just to display Rajasthan’s beauty, but to pass it forward to the younger generations, so kids grow up valuing handmade, heritage, and the artisans who keep these crafts alive.

The festival aimed to build a vibrant platform where traditional crafts, young creativity, and grassroots talent could come together, ensuring that heritage thrives, artisans are empowered, and children grow up connected to art, culture, and the environment.
