The renovated Ekamra Haat, which remained closed for over a year, reopened on Saturday with better facilities for both visitors and artisans. The haat now has a total of 83 stalls and has been divided into two zones - Ekamra Kutir and Ekamra Bazaar. Ekamra Kutir has 50 stalls including eight for live demonstration. The open space outside the haat has been used to set up the Ekamra Bazaar with 33 stalls. Of the 83 stalls, 56 have been reserved for sale of handicraft products and 27 for handloom. Officials of State Institute for Development of Arts and Crafts (SIDAC), who will be managing the urban haat, said visitors can not only purchase the handloom and handicraft products but also see live demonstration of their making process.
