Kiosks during Dandiya nights!!

Dandiya is a traditional dance form of Gujarat where men and women dance to the tune of rhythmic beats. The place is filled with the sounds of clattering of sticks and bells, laughter, enjoyment and happiness. Mumbai also has many places where dandiya is celebrated with utmost fervor and enthusiasm as it would be in any other Gujarat town. To add colours to this the Somaiya Social cell had set up a kiosk on the nine days of the Dandiya festival in the Police Hockey Grounds, Ghatkopar. The kiosk added a new dimension to the customary look that the place wears every year.

The kiosk displayed a huge variety of products from its various projects like NASEOH, NAB, Warli, Kiran etc for sale. The audience were captivated by the wide range of products which were kept at the display.
Some of the products included artificial jewellery and bags (SAHAS), gel filled aromatic glass candles, chains and ear rings, files, envelopes etc (NAB), paintings (Warli), diyas, cell phone pouches, rangoli mats etc (Kiran).
The kiosk received an overwhelming response from everyone who visited the dandiya festival and the cell recorded bumper sales. The stalls were majorly visited at the start and the end of the dandiya event every night. The cell also got a possible lead for a bulk order on refilling of the gel candles from NASEOH. By and large, people were eager to know more about the products and the projects giving the social cell a wide publicity.
