Pakistani Artisans and Handicrafts




All Pakistan 'Lok Mela' held in Islamabad, Lok Virsa. Culture and handicrafts of all provinces including Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir was represented there. The most fascinating thing about this event was a chance to meet out real heroes, real artist and to see them working! I pay my regard to all workers and artisans. Enjoy some of the pics of event.

  8. We all know that Pakistan is very rich in handcraft, your Pictorial Presentation is great, you incorporated most of the handcrafts which are famous in Pakistan. According to me from all those handcraft Peshawari Chappal is increasing its Popularity day by day.
