Naayaab, simply put, is a rare symphony of the greats – from the select and superlative works of traditional Indian art-forms, to the highest awarded master artisans who created them, to the best of art patrons and collectors who can rejoice them – it is the first-ever platform to bring them all together, to celebrate the enduring legacy of Indian craftsmanship.
The opening day saw a gathering of art aficionados and cultural enthusiasts, including Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.
