The `mela' will be held at Chennai from Oct.22 to 27 and it is intended to target dometic market, especially those who opt for the `Deepavali' purchases, PDEXCIL sources said.

Textile products — sarees, dhotis, children-wear, garments and home-furnishings — produced by the powerloom weaving centres in Tamil Nadu, Andhra and Maharashtra would be available for sale. An estimated 100 stalls planned at the mela will sell the goods.
