The Jharkhand pavilion, featuring GI-tagged traditional handloom and handicraft products, has become a major attraction for domestic and international visitors.

The pavilion highlights recently GI-tagged products such as Tassar silk, Kuchaï silk, Bhagia sarees and fabrics, Dumka cotton dhotis, Bhoiya sarees and fabrics, and Panchhi sarees and fabrics. These items are praised for their natural sheen, durability, exquisite texture, eco-friendly production, fine weaving, vibrant natural colours and tribal artistic designs.
