The Surajkund Crafts Mela 2009 began on 1st Feb 2009. The 23rd annual event was inaugurated by President Pratibha Patil.
Surajkund which is located in Haryana is just an hour's drive from New Delhi. Surajkund comes alive for two weeks with the rhythm and beats of folk dances, lots of shopping opportunity and a riot of colors each year in early Feb. This year the Surajkund Mela was open from February 1-15 and the theme state was Madhya Pradesh. The Surajkund Mela is organized by Haryana Tourism and is held near Faridabad (outskirts of New Delhi). The handicrafts displayed and sold include products of leather, brass & bell metal, cane & bamboo, ceramic, clay dolls, jute, masks & puppets, sandalwood carving, artistic weaving, prints & paintings, needlwork and embroidery etc. This year there was quite a bit of security. Visitors who payed Rs. 50 as an entrance ticket enjoyed savouring cuisine of Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Himachal, and Gujarat apart from Egypt, Chinese, and Thai cuisine.
