Must visit stalls at Surajkund Mela, Faridabad

Uganda

Uganda Stall is the most impressive and crowded booth in the area. Their entire shelf is loaded with handcrafted woodwork. People at the stall are amicable. They are available to tell you all the details of their culture and work. Uganda's heritage and culture are genuinely visible on their booth. Uganda's wildlife is rich, and you could easily see it in their sculptures of art pieces. They have an abundance of showpieces of birds, glasses, home decors, jewellery, frames, bangles and necklaces made of beadwork. The stall owner, Mariam, has been in the business for a very long. She has told us that men in Uganda do wooden work while women do the beadwork. If you are looking for some real wooden handicraft work, the Uganda stall is the place to look for.
