Visually Impaired Artisans Shine at Beloved Delhi Diwali Bazaar

As Delhi residents prepare for the upcoming Diwali festivities, the Blind Relief Association Diwali Bazaar remains a beloved tradition that has been part of the city's cultural fabric for over 45 years. On October 14th, 2025, the bazaar once again drew large crowds of shoppers seeking unique, handmade products for the holiday.

A key highlight of the event is the Blind Relief Association's own stall, which features an array of items crafted by the visually-impaired. From candles and diyas to bags, envelopes, and recycled fabric pouches, these products showcase the remarkable skills and talents of the association's trainees. The bazaar serves as a platform to empower the visually-impaired, with interactive massage and cafe stations also run by the association's multi-skill program participants.

Beyond the association's own offerings, the Diwali Bazaar extends free spaces to various NGOs supporting marginalized communities, artisans, and persons with disabilities. Visitors can browse an impressive selection of handmade toys, pickles, jams, paintings, stationery, and handloom textiles, all contributing to the vibrant, inclusive atmosphere.

The Blind Relief Association's Diwali Bazaar is the organization's flagship fundraising event, with proceeds from product sales and stall rentals directly supporting its free education and vocational training initiatives for the visually-impaired. This long-standing tradition continues to empower and uplift the lives of those with visual impairments, making it an integral part of Delhi's Diwali celebrations.
