I visit the Surajkund Crafts Fair every two years hoping to catch the same colours in a different light. And I come back, believing that I have succeeded in my attempt. This year too, I went to this mela, a little extra enthusiastic, because the theme state was Assam, my native. The most authentic aspect that was showcased was the Naam Ghar (Prayer House), complete with the huge doba (drums) and the manikoot (deity's throne). It touched my heart.
