The Secretary of Rajasthan Khadi and Village Industries Board Brajesh Kumar Chandolia said that this fashion show was organised by the board in order to present the traditional dress of Rajasthan’s Khadi in an international form, in which mainly Khadi costumes from different regions of Rajasthan were displayed.
