Governor Kavinder Gupta visited the Himachal Emporium in New Delhi on Friday on the occasion of National Handloom Day and purchased locally made handloom and handicraft products. He appealed to people across the country to buy at least one handloom product to support India’s weavers and artisans. Gupta lauded the craftsmanship of Himachal’s artisans and said every handloom product reflects India’s cultural diversity, traditions and spirit of self-reliance. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal, Gupta urged every citizen to purchase at least one local handloom product to encourage traditional artisans and preserve India’s rich handloom heritage. “Every purchase of a handloom product is an investment in our cultural heritage and in the livelihoods of thousands of artisan families,” he said.
