Andretta, a village in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, has long been home to a vibrant artist community, including renowned figures like Sardar Gurcharan Singh, Shoba Singh and B.C. Sanyal.

The city will soon have its own crafts village to provide a platform to artisans from all over the country to hone their skills and make, display and sell handicrafts items under a single roof.
