<p>Green Haat, a small-scale but vibrant flea market, was recently held at Green Theory on Convent Road. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The market comprised of items made by around ten designers and artists, including crochet work, jewellery, soaps and illustrations. <br /><br />The most unique part of the market was probably the tarot card reading stall, which plenty of enthusiastic visitors flocked to. <br /><br />Bikas Parik and Nimisha Parik, the owners of Green Theory, came up with this idea around six months ago along with Inchara Jaganath, who now manages the event. <br /><br />“We had similar views about having something novel — like a flea market — at a central location and thought, why not organise it?” says Bikas. <br /><br />Their main motive was to make flea markets a regular affair and promote budding artists and designers by providing a platform for them.<br /><br />Inchara explains that this market is held twice a month with about eight to ten participants. Since the cost of setting up a stall is reasonable, the participants can make a good profit for themselves. <br /><br />She adds, “We have bands performing in the evening. This way, visitors can shop, eat and enjoy good music in a relaxing ambience.” <br /><br />Sangita V, who put up a stall at the market, says, “This is a good place to showcase our products, especially because of its central location.” <br /><br />“I came in for some lunch but was delightfully surprised when I saw the flea market,” adds Yogini Raj, an entrepreneur who used the opportunity to pick up some posters for her children. <br /><br />Aamina Shah, a homemaker, says that she always attends flea markets as they have the most unique nicknacks. “I love that the items at flea markets are one of a kind. Though the venue is small, it has a very homely feeling which is inviting,” she adds. <br /></p>
