Swadeshi Melo Shopping Festival 2026, Veraval

Complete venue setup for the Swadeshi Melo Shopping Festival 2026 in Veraval, organised by the Veraval Patan Joint Municipality under the Gujarat Urban Livelihood Mission ("Har Ghar Swadeshi, Ghar-Ghar Swadeshi", Vocal for Local). A large-span MS dome structure housed the whole fair: a branded facade with a balloon-arch entrance, and inside, rows of stalls lining a long carpeted central aisle under a red-and-yellow striped ceiling lining with printed fabric drapes. At the entrance, a terracotta-style decorative installation with a silver Ganesh idol and clay figurines welcomed visitors. At the far end, an inauguration stage dressed with marigold strings and a rose-and-flower front, backed by the Swadeshi Melo banner, with rows of white chairs for guests. The fair opened with a ribbon cutting and lamp lighting, after which guests toured the stalls of local sellers offering pottery, textiles, handicrafts and crochet work.
