Kashmiri Heritage Craft Fair

Monday, 12 Oct 2026 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM Pattan, Baramulla · J&K

A vibrant celebration of Kashmiri handicrafts — papier-mâché, walnut wood carving, pashmina weaving and traditional cuisine — with local artisans and live demonstrations.

The Kashmiri Heritage Craft Fair is a vibrant celebration of the artistry, flavour and spirit of Kashmir. For one day, the grounds come alive with the colours and craftsmanship that have defined our valley for centuries.

Visitors can watch master artisans at work — shaping papier-mâché, carving walnut wood, and weaving the finest pashmina — and learn the stories behind each craft. Stalls of traditional Kashmiri cuisine fill the air with the aroma of wazwan, while folk musicians keep the celebration alive from morning to evening.

The fair is more than a market; it is a living museum of heritage. Families can join hands-on craft workshops, children can try their hand at age-old techniques, and everyone can connect with the artisans who keep these traditions alive.

By bringing artisans and the community together, the fair supports local livelihoods and ensures that Kashmir's rich cultural heritage is documented, celebrated and passed on to future generations.
