Incredible India in Dilli Haat

-


































I have always been asked by my friends about the speciality of my country,and I just replied them in one word "Diversity"

What I always like and fel proud of my country is its "diversity", be it in its arts and culture,languages,and its people.It is impossible to speak all the languages orall the existing traditions to follow but there are deep cultural continuties that tie all of us together.

To feel its vibrancy and colours of Indian culture,The one roof place called "Dilli haat" offers the Indian experience in microcosm. A "destination in itself" offering a beautiful amalgam of craft,food and cultural activities of India.
I have never found Dilli haat empty even in weekdays,rather always buzzed with people from all over the world exploring the upgraded version of traditional Indian markets which offer ample of varities ranging from handloom,Crafts,to gems,beads,fabric and drapery etc...

The handlooms range are limitless ,consisting of Ikats from A.P,Orissa,Daccai from W.B,Chanderi pattern of M.P,checks from T.N,Bandhez from Jaipur,Kashmiri's pashmina shawls to Manipuri's silk sarees and Naga's shawl.Its a shoppers's paradise who really know the imporatnce of Indian fabrics and handlooms.

It will be unfair if I dont mention the food plaza from various regions of India to savour the ethnic flavours of gastronomic delights.If you are lucky you can encounter the big food festval which displays regional food very often.

In short,I would recommend, if you want to see more of Indian diverse cultures and traditions or you have friends or relatives visiting India,Dilli Haat is the place for you,it wont let you down. Dilli haat..It is a total colourful Indian Experience...

Heibi and Heibi Mulhanba

Heibi, scientifically known as Vangueria Spinosa, is a treasured wild fruit in Manipur. Once abundant in the city, this fruit-bearing tree has become a rare sight, pushing enthusiasts to explore hills and villages to find it in local markets. The leaves of the heibi plant lend a unique touch to our singju salad or can be cooked to perfection. Despite its rarity, the heibi fruit continues to captivate with its versatile uses. To ripen the fruit, we fashion it into a charming garland using bamboo wreaths, letting it bask in the sun for days until it reaches a delectable state fit for consumption. This fruit holds a rich history, traced back to the times of our grandmothers and grand aunts, who not only relished it as a winter treat but also harnessed its nourishing properties. Their age-old wisdom included using heibi as a winter application to moisturize their hands and legs, leaving a legacy of beauty and tradition.
