The Indian Doll Makers Hub says the display includes more than 2,700 dolls and runs from Friday through Monday. The collection draws on episodes from the Mahabharata and stories of Krishna Leela, presenting traditional subjects through the work of artisans from different parts of the country.
Organisers describe it as the largest display of handmade dolls and say it is intended both to celebrate tradition and to seek wider recognition for the craft. They are attempting to enter the exhibition in the Wonder Book of Records, the Asia Book of Records, the International Book of Records and Guinness World Records.
The event brings the makers’ work together under one roof during the Dasara season. The record submissions are an aim of the organisers; the source report does not say that any of the record bodies has verified or accepted an entry.
