Princess Diya Kumari Foundation Artisan Collective celebrates women and craft

The Princess Diya Kumari Foundation (PDKF), in collaboration with Princess Gauravi Kumari of Jaipur, is hosting a remarkable event celebrating women-led craft and entrepreneurship — PDKF’s Artisan Collective. Taking place at the historic City Palace, Jaipur, from March 6 to 8, 2025, this three-day fair will serve as a vibrant platform for women artisans from across India to showcase their talents and engage with a diverse audience.

For over a decade, the Princess Diya Kumari Foundation has been at the forefront of empowering women, particularly artisans, through initiatives aimed at preserving and promoting India’s rich craft heritage. The Artisan Collective marks the next chapter in this ongoing journey, providing a stage for women artisans to gain the recognition they deserve for their exceptional skills.

“The objective of PDKF’s Artisan Collective is to create a platform for the promotion of women entrepreneurs working with the varied crafts of our country. These women are the custodians of our craft heritage, and through this unique fair, PDKF aims to help them evolve into craft-preneurs, build their own markets, and explore their capabilities on a global scale,” shared Princess Gauravi Kumari, general secretary of PDKF.

This innovative fair is more than just an exhibition; it is a celebration of sustainable livelihoods, creative independence, and the revival of traditional Indian craftsmanship. The event will bring together a rich tapestry of artisans working across textiles, pottery, jewelry, woodwork, and other forms of craft. Visitors will have the chance to witness firsthand the beauty of these time-honored techniques, while also supporting the women behind them.

PDKF’s Artisan Collective promises to be an inspiring fusion of culture, creativity, and commerce — a must-attend event for anyone passionate about India’s artisanal heritage and the empowerment of women.
