Weavers and retailers alike, from across the country and even across the border (read Bangladesh), make a bee line for the biggest stalls at the venue, six months in advance, to book to most conspicuous space to display their attractions. A stunning range of variety, price and quality makes up for the fabric of the exhibition. From Bhagalpuri silks, to Sambhalpuri cottons to Madhya Pradesh Tussars to Bangladesh Dhakais, all fight for the attention of the discerning Bengali shopper. Having said Bengali shopper, the exhibition is an equally attractive destination for non – Bengali Saree aficionados, who are passionate about draping the six yards in all its avatars!
The month long exhibition also showcases menswear, traditional kids wear, dress materials, home décor and utilities making it a one stop shop to quench the shopping thirst of the splurging Bengali Babus during this time!
This year, the exhibition kicks off on 4th September and winds up by 24th September, 2 days before Puja celebrations commences.
CR Park welcomes one and all to witness the Puja fervour and experience the shopping fever!
