Hundreds of visitors, many from the hills, are flocking to the 15-day Uttarayani Kauthig 2026 in Lucknow, organized by the Parvatiya Mahaparishad. The festival, which is ongoing as of January 19, 2026, features stalls brimming with traditional Uttarakhandi products, including intricate paintings, crockery, and distinctive 'Aipan' print handbags and batuas.
A major draw is the temporary 'Devbhoomi' gallery, where renowned Uttarakhand prints adorn various items like crockery, wall hangings, and handbags, attracting significant attention. Alongside these, shoppers are keenly purchasing utilitarian items such as moonj grass roti boxes, baskets, and traditional copper, brass, and aluminum utensils.
