Ripples is a three-day arts and crafts festival that was first held in January 2021 across the Birbhum district of West Bengal with the aim of promoting heritage and rural cultural tourism and contributing to the long-term resilience and sustainability of the artist and artisan communities. The festival is organised by Banglanatak dot com<\/a> and is supported by the British Council<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through demonstrations and sales conducted both online and offline, Ripples Festival helped fill the gaps in craftspersons’ income caused by the cessation of fairs on account of the COVID-19 pandemic. The success of the inaugural edition led to the second instalment of the festival<\/a> in December 2021 at Bardhaman. Kantha embroidery, Dokra handicrafts, Baul music, Chadar Badar puppetry and folk theatre were some of the folk arts and crafts forms showcased across the two editions of the festival.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
