The Huner Mela, an activity by Department of Tourism & Culture aims to provide opportunity to artisans of different crafts for displaying their skills. In its first edition in 2011 it was termed a commendable endeavour by the visitors for conserving the withering arts of Peshawar, once known as 'Hub of Artisans.'
The Dept is of the opinion that the upcoming Huner Mela 2016 would bear positive results and revive a number of crafts and trades that were once booming in the region but are now receding into oblivion owing to lack of patronage.
The samples of Wood Carving (Swat), Metal Work, Wax Printing, Stone Carving, Bannu Khaddi, Taghar Work, Embroidery Lacquer Art, Peshawar Handicraft, Shaari Khaddi, Swati Shawl, Phulkari Charsada Cappal, Charsada Khaddar, Swati Khaddi, Quroshia Work, Gabay Work, Hazara Phulkari, Moti Work, Hazara Jisti Shawal, Lohar Pottery Work, Parunay Dandas, Sarkha Karawa Work, Maizaray Work, Sarghashay, Drooza Chappal, Gandhara Art, Chitrali Patti and Sitar Making will be displayed at the Mela.
