H E Indra Mani Pandey, the Ambassador of India to Oman addressing a press conference on Sunday said that the ten-day event is part of the celebrations to mark the 60th year of India-Oman diplomatic relations.

The exhibition, Vastram: Splendid World of Indian Textiles, is being curated by Shelly Jyoti, a fashion designer, visual artist and poet.

The collection will have painted, printed, woven, non-woven, embroidered and embellished textiles. It will showcase the influence of new materials, machine and handspun yarn and use of dyes in Indian textiles.

The textile exhibition run by ICCR will later travel to Ethiopia, Turkey, Fiji and Nepal. The exhibition highlights the role of the Indian government in promoting textile industry since independence.
