Don't go for any handicraft exhibition conducted by Himachal Pradesh Government! WHY? You can now buy them simply sitting in your garden with a mouse-click in your lap-top while zipping coffee or tea! As a promotional step government has announced a 20 percent discount on products purchased through e-shopping is another reason for your browsers turned on. A wonderful dispaly of more than 1000 products is the main feature of the site as part of the buyer-attraction measures of the Himachal government.
Kangra paintings and Chamba rumal (handkerchief), Chamba chappals (slippers) and jewellery items and many more items. The demanding need of the handicrafts made in the hilly state is now increasing and is quite popular among foreigners.
Now the Himachal Handicraft and Handloom Corporation is operating 15 sales outlets, including one each in Bangalore and Delhi.
The hill state is known for the art of embroidery on the Chamba rumal that originated and flourished in Chamba (now Chamba district) in the 16th and 17th centuries where the Chamba school of miniature paintings got royal patronage.
The state government has got the Chamba handkerchief, the Kullu shawl and Kangra tea registered under the Geographical Indications (GI) of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999, by the Chennai-based Geographical Indications Registry.
