First time in Chhattisgarh and how can we not shop for something local, something traditional. But, it was not easy to locate two places, one a place to buy local products and another Mahant Ghasidas museum in Raipur. We, that was me and Anuradha Subramanyan didn't give up, located the museum and landed there just about the time for them to close. Some amount of persuasion they allowed us to see whatever little we could of the small museum that was under renovation. From there we rushed to Chhattisgarh Haat, a cluster created for handicrafts, handlooms not frequented by locals perhaps. It has nice set of shops, so don't miss it if you happen to be in Raipur. This #100Sareepact is from the Chhattisgarh Handicrafts shop at the haat...interesting that tribals had tried their hands on some of the ilkal cotton sarees and this green one some kind of a polyester cotton mix has unique patterns in painting. A green blouse may not show it off, so matched with a red kanta embroidered blouse.
