My Assam is at Faridabad Now


I feel so very happy, when I find the imprint of my homeland. This time, my Assam has come to meet me in Faridabad (Haryana). This beautiful state among the seven sisters of North-East India is known for its sprawling tea gardens, mighty Brahmaputra, handicrafts and unique culture.

Last week, I saw an electronic advertisement about Assam Tourism and was mesmerized to see the collage of my state’s beauty, my people and their colorful culture. And, now see, how lucky I’m to find my home miles away from my home. Well, I’m talking about the on-going Surajkund Mela 2012. The colorful extravaganza is highlighting the vibrant culture of Assam this time.


Like every year, the Surajkund Craft Fair is successfully attracted lakhs of tourists from various countries. But, I’ll feel the festive ground will receive more number of foot-steps so has to take back home some brilliant collection of ‘Assamese Meghala’, ‘Assam Tea Leaves’, Handicraft items etc. I have also heard that the mela ground will occupy stores for different varieties of rice & grains, commonly produced in Assam.

I’m not gonna miss this 15-days event. Can you afford to miss it??
