The fair at Punnami Ghat in Vijayawada will welcome visitors from 10am to 10pm until the 31st. It offers the chance to buy products made by women’s self-help groups (SHGs) from across India.
Traditional handicrafts, household goods, decorative items and regional food are among the main attractions.

He urged the public to attend with their families and support the women artisans.
The mela opened on the 15th of this month and was inaugurated by President Droupadi Murmu, Governor Abdul Nazeer and Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Around 650 stalls feature handicrafts, artisanal products and other art forms, with DWCRA (Development of Women and Children in Rural Areas) groups from different states taking part.
