ata Tea Agni, Bihar’s leading tea brand is celebrating this year’s Chhath Puja by bringing to light “Sikki Grass Craft” – an ancient and intricate art form that is deeply rooted in Bihar’s cultural history through their latest brand campaign.

As part of campaign to give consumers a chance to experience Bihar’s rich cultural tapestry, Tata Tea Agni Leaf, organized the ‘Sikki Kala Mahotsav’ at City Centre Mall on 4th & 5th November 2024 to celebrate the start of Chhath Puja festivities.
The key highlight of the event was the unveiling of a spectacular life sized installation made of Sikki grass, a stunning tribute to Bihar’s traditional craft form. This grand installation, hand crafted by the artisans of Bihar, featured the limited edition Chhath Puja festive packs. The four-pack series captures the essence of Chhath Puja through symbolic elements, each representing one of the four days of the festival: Nahay Khay, Kharna, Sandhya Arghya, and Usha Arghya. Each element was depicted through figurines meticulously crafted from Sikki grass, offering consumers a unique way to celebrate with their favourite tea brand. In addition to the installation, the event featured live demonstrations by local artisans, providing visitors a chance to witness firsthand the intricate process behind this heritage craft form.
