– Patrons advised to shop early for Diwali outfits
As the Diwali festival draws near, a wide range of Indian-made garments and products at affordable and high end prices are available at the “India Expo” on Saffon Street in the vicinity of East La Penitence Market.
The India Expo will be leaving Guyana on November, 4, 2012 before the Diwali festivals and according to the organizer of the expo, Indian National, Manprwet (M.P) Singh, patrons should catch the deals early before the entity packs up and leaves for India.
Some of the items at the expo include exquisite attires, accessories, antique furniture and Murtis.
“Some of the items include Shalwar, Lehenga, Sari and Bindis. It is very difficult
in South America to find a seamstress who would sew a very good Sari, blouse and tops. The readymade Saris being sold are of very good and prices range within everyone’s budget to the very elite branded for the customer without a budget.” Singh explained.
“We have all the types of Saris and other Indian garments seen on the Zee TV and other Indian series shown in Guyana…we are spreading the Indian culture, through trade and exchange between the two countries.”
Indian National, Manprwet (M.P) Singh said that the entity is open seven days a week and patrons can have items that are for the budgets of all shoppers directly from India. Prices range from $3,000 to $200,000 for various Indian garments and a variety of accessories.
This is the first time India Expo has visited Guyana and it is anticipated to be an annual event. “All these prices come with a guarantee from the India Expo that you will not find anywhere else in Guyana. So that is why we have had a tremendous response and we are hoping to return to Guyana next year during Diwali.”
Adding that the love and support received from Guyanese was tremendous; Singh said, “We (organizers) will return to India with our hearts contented and happy with the kind of welcome we received in this country. Our bodies might go back home but our hearts will remain in Guyana.”
Noting that there may be couples who would like exceptional wear for Indian weddings, Singh said that some of the outfits are of the ultimate quality. “Some of the garments are fitted with real gems sewn into the fabric.”
