The foreign tourists never get to see the architecture of villages and their lifestyles unless
they visit the SurajKund Mela which showcases costumes, furniture and glimpses of the lifestyles prevailing, in so many villages of Indian. The artists are sent from Goa this year to showcase their lifestyles in Goa for 15 days of the Mela.
These artists are selected by Goa Handicrafts Corporations to sell their handicrafts. They will be performing traditional Gaon dances during this Mela. Handmade fabrics soaked in ethnic colours make an eye catching display for the visitors. This mela is considered the favourite picnic spot during febuary month. Youngsters get a chance to explore the state culturally and traditionally, without even going there. The Surajkund mela is feast for the shop-Ohlic Delhi-ites. And yet another mela has come and gone with beautiful memories.
