Nestled in the historic town of Bishnupur, West Bengal, the Poramatir Haat is not just a marketplace – it is a living celebration of Bengal’s rich terracotta tradition. Every weekend, this vibrant fair brings together artisans, culture enthusiasts, and travelers who wish to experience the essence of Bengal’s folk art.

The name “Poramatir” translates to golden soil, symbolizing the warm, earthy clay that Bishnupur is famous for.

Poramatir Haat is more than a shopping destination – it’s an experience of rural Bengal’s heartbeat. Every weekend, local folk singers, baul performers, and musicians create a soulful atmosphere with their live performances. The sound of the ektara, the beats of the madal, and traditional songs turn the fair into a cultural festival.
