He said people visiting the stall could explore a diverse range of ‘unique and socially and environmentally responsible’ products. These include ‘potlis’ made of recycled clothes donated at the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (RRR) Centre, incense sticks made from floral waste, handmade and intricately designed candles, captivating wall paintings and traditional oil lamps or diyas, said the Mayor.
