In Chennai, Kalaa Utsavam refers to a popular series of handloom and handicraft exhibitions organized by Faboo Events that occur throughout the year at various venues across the city. These events celebrate Indian tradition by bringing together authentic crafts, textiles, and artisanal products from across India.
Multiple editions of this exhibition are scheduled for March 2026:
While specific dates vary, the exhibition frequently rotates through these locations:
CERC Campus Exhibition Ground (Thiruvanmiyur): Often held here due to the spacious grounds and proximity to the Kalakshetra Foundation.
Vijayashree Mahal (Anna Nagar): Usually a festive edition held in an air-conditioned hall.
Arulmurugan Towers (Pallavaram): A recurring venue for southern Chennai residents.
