One event MIL and I go to every single year is the National Handloom Exhibition in the Cooptex Showroom on Pantheon Road. We usually make a trip there and pick up some saris, kurtis, etc.
It's usually around the Tamil New Year, but I guess this time, with the New Year being moved around, the Government decided to keep the exhibition now :)
Great place, great food. This year, we almost missed it-- hope to go tomorrow. Please make it if you can. Great selection, so even if the price seems a bit on the higher side, you can get different types of saris, from people who look like they're from the cloth's birthplace.
Last year, MIL and I picked up a sari each from a stall, and both of us have promptly forgotten the name of the sari and the place. We hope to find that out, with some luck!
The exhibition's at Padmashree Nachimuthu Handloom Exhibition Grounds
Co-optex Complex, 350, Pantheon Road, Egmore, Chennai, upto 9 p.m. tomorrow.
