Srinagar, Feb 24: The Department of Handicrafts & Handloom is organizing a two-day Trainee Products’ Sale at Kashmir Haat, popularly known as Numaish Gah, commencing from February 25, 2026.
Craft products made by trainees in 432 Training Centres across 10 districts of Kashmir Division will be showcased, including hand-knotted woollen carpets, GI-tagged Pashmina & Kani shawls and stoles, Crewel curtains, Sozni-embroidered shawls, Zari & Aari embroidered suits, tweed cloth, Chainstitch rugs and cushion covers, Tapestry, Gabba and Namda products, Papier Mâché, and Willow Wicker souvenir and décor items.
