The Department of Handicrafts and Handloom, Kashmir, launched a three-day Know Your Artisan campaign on 20 November 2025 at the historic Sher-e-Kashmir Park in Srinagar. This much-needed initiative brought together thirty master artisans from diverse crafts, who showcased their skills in a beautifully curated manner, captivating both visitors and potential buyers. Live demos of iconic crafts like Sozni and Crewel embroidery, Pashmina and Kani weaving, Papier-mâché, copperware Kandkari, willow work, and tweed was kept on display. Kashmir’s crafts are not just products, but centuries-old stories woven by the golden hands. This carnival is our tribute to the artisans who keep these traditions alive and an invitation to all craft lovers to discover the real soul of Kashmir.
