Mysuru: A handicraft exhibition will be organized at JSS Mysore Urban Haat in the city from March 26 to April 11, to promote the handloom products and to prevent these handicrafts prepared by the weavers and weavers’ co-operatives from becoming too market oriented.

The exhibition will include products from Jammu & Kashmir, Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Orissa, Haryana, Bihar, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and various districts of South India, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala and Karnataka. More than 50 weavers and weaver’s cooperatives will take part in handloom products made from Mandya, Ramanagara, Bengaluru city, Bengaluru countryside, Tumkur, Shivamogga, Chitradurga, Gadag, Bagalkot, Gulbarga and Ilakal.
