The ‘Lepakshi Cotton and Silk Mela’ organised by Andhra Pradesh Handicrafts Development Corporation Limited is seeing massive crowds this year.
The State government-run Corporation, holds this expo annually in the period between Vaikunta Ekadasi, New Year and Sankranti festival, when Tirupati witnesses a huge pilgrim footfall — turning out to be lucrative for the visiting artisans, weavers and craftsmen who come from across the country to set up their stalls.
