The Mahakautik Fair serves as a platform to present Uttarakhand’s rich cultural identity to a wider audience, particularly residents of the National Capital Region. During his visit, Chief Minister Dhami toured several stalls set up at the venue, which feature traditional cuisine, handicrafts, folk art, and visual representations of the state’s cultural heritage and well-known regional attributes.
Interacting with exhibitors and organizers, the Chief Minister underscored the importance of preserving and promoting Uttarakhand’s traditions, especially among younger generations living outside the state. He noted that such events play a crucial role in strengthening cultural ties and providing artisans, entrepreneurs, and cultural groups from Uttarakhand with wider exposure and economic opportunities.
The fair is expected to draw significant footfall over the week, offering visitors a comprehensive glimpse into Uttarakhand’s food, music, customs, and lifestyle. Cultural performances and displays are also part of the program, aimed at creating an immersive experience of the state’s heritage.
Chief Minister Dhami’s participation highlighted the state government’s continued emphasis on cultural promotion as a key component of social and economic development. The event not only celebrates Uttarakhand’s identity but also reinforces its presence on a national stage, strengthening connections between the state and its diaspora across major urban centers.
