India Showcases Rajasthan Textile Heritage During BRICS 2026 Session

The 2026 BRICS summit, held under India’s chairmanship, featured a symbolic gifting of Sangrih shawls to officials from all member nations. The textile, originating from the town of Sangri near Jaipur, is celebrated for its complex block‑printing technique and eco‑friendly colour palette.

By selecting the shawl as an official souvenir, India not only displayed Rajasthan’s artistic excellence but also reaffirmed its commitment to preserving traditional crafts on a global stage.
