Lucknowite Jaggi, who recently received the Resham Ratna Award from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, says, "This collection is made with natural dyes and prints. The entire show is an amalgamation of fashion, Indian culture, textiles, and arts and crafts with a soulful purpose." She had Ritu Suhas, a bureaucrat, as showstopper.

Other cultural events were also held on the occasion. "We had a dance performance by Kathak artiste Kantika Mishra, and since the festival of Mahakumbh is underway at Prayagraj, Kuljeet Rajwant Singh presented a 3-D movie show and narrated the story of the Mahakumbh," shares Ujjwal Kumar.

The event was held as a part of the 7-Day Khadi Mahotsav held at Indira Gandhi Pratisthan that was inaugurated by Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, informed boads media coordinator Amit Tripathi.

“During the festival 133 stalls were set-up by people from five states including Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Bihar and Rajasthan,” he added.
