Handicraft & Home-Industry Fair Approved at Virajali Maidan, Nikol

A second handicraft-focused event has been approved for Virajali Maidan in Nikol — this one a three-month handicraft and home-industry sale, run by Fine Events Management, Ahmedabad, starting 20 August 2026. It's a separate approval from the handloom and handicraft exhibition running on the neighbouring T.P.-102/F.P.-80 plot from 31 August, both cleared at the same AMC Standing Committee meeting on 20 August 2026.

Where and when

The fair occupies a 200 ft × 200 ft area on the front portion of Survey No. 80 (Virajali Maidan), Nikol, for three months from 20 August 2026 — running into late November. The exact spot within the plot is designated by the zone's estate department.

What's on sale

The approval covers the sale of handicraft and cottage/home-industry products, with the standard AMC condition that firecrackers or other hazardous and combustible goods may not be sold at the site.

Facilities

Alongside the plot, the organiser has been approved for two mobile toilet vans, provided as feasible, at a daily token charge per van.

At a glance

Two fairs, one ground

With this fair, September's Shri Ganesh Mahotsav, and the handloom exhibition all sharing the same T.P.-102/Survey No. 80 stretch in Nikol this season, Virajali Maidan is shaping up as one of the area's more active public grounds — a small but real marker of footfall and community activity for anyone comparing residential projects in eastern Ahmedabad.
