Maharana Bhagwat Singh Ji Mewar founded the Maharana Mewar Charitable Foundation 55 years ago with the vision of launching various public welfare programs that continue to this day. Currently, under the leadership of Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, member of the Mewar royal family and Trustee of the Foundation, efforts are underway for heritage preservation, as well as projects in human welfare and environmental conservation. The Chief Executive Officer of the foundation, Dr. Mayank Gupta, shared that the event emphasized the promotion of eco-friendly and handcrafted products, allowing tourists from around the world to witness and understand traditional craftsmanship firsthand.
On this occasion, Gaukriti, an organization dedicated to eco-friendly innovations, showcased products made from cow dung, such as pens, notebooks, diaries, religious books, decorative items, ritual materials, and table calendars, all made from cow dung paper. These products aim to promote environmental conservation and pollution-free materials, allowing international tourists to learn about these innovative items and creating new market opportunities for local artisans. Additionally, the process of making handmade earthen lamps was also demonstrated. A puppet photo booth was set up where tourists could take pictures.
The tourists visiting Udaipur showed great interest in these handmade products and highly appreciated the local art and artists, noting that such initiatives are extremely important for the environment in the current circumstances.
