A market just for the soul

With the celebratory mood in the air and more in the offing, the Sunday Soul Sante is back this year with its Deepawali edition. There will be over 250 exhibits, selling handcrafted items from across the country. That is not all, there will also be a live performance by Best Kept Secret (award-winning pop/rock band) and Bryden-Parth (a collaboration between Western and Indian Classical musicians) with a lot of food stalls.

Karan Rao, the co-founder of Sunday Soul Sante, tells us what is special about this year’s market, amidst the hustle-bustle of putting the show together. “We started in 2010 and that makes us 13 years old now. It was started by my mother, Asha Rao who has been associated with the world of arts and crafts for over four decades. In the ‘80 and ‘90s she ran an organisation called Arts and Crafts Trust with actor Waheeda Rehman and a few well-known artistes.”
