DEC 12: Jammu city is gearing up for a festive celebration of local culture, creativity and entrepreneurship as the Cozy Winter Market Exhibition prepares to welcome visitors on December 13 and 14, 2025. The two-day winter carnival will be held at Satyam Resorts, Marble Market, Trikuta Nagar, bringing together more than 100 independent brands and creative makers from across the region.
Organisers say the event is intended to shine a spotlight on Dogra culture, traditional arts, craftsmanship and the region’s vibrant entrepreneurial spirit. Dr Nidhi Gupta Abrol, founder of the Gracious Givers Foundation, told media that the exhibition is about much more than commerce — it represents a celebration of community, culture, and compassion. A portion of the proceeds from the winter market will be directed to charitable initiatives, supporting meaningful causes within society.
Celebrating Local Talent and Cultural Heritage
Speaking about the Cozy Winter Market’s objectives, Dr Nidhi Gupta said the exhibition will feature an engaging mix of artisanal offerings that highlight Dogra creativity. The event will spotlight handmade crafts, festive décor, artisanal foods, fashion items and other products reflecting the region’s traditional and contemporary artistic heritage.
The winter market also aligns with the broader “vocal for local” movement, encouraging local entrepreneurs — especially women business owners — to grow their ventures and reach new audiences. Dr Nidhi emphasised that the exhibition aims to uplift homegrown talent while preserving the essence of Dogra culture.
Festive Atmosphere and Seasonal Appeal
Visitors to the Cozy Winter Market can expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with seasonal charm. Alongside stalls selling unique products, the event is set to feature live music, festive decorations, and activities designed to engage families and shoppers of all ages. With the holiday season approaching, organisers hope the exhibition will become a key destination for those seeking one-of-a-kind gifts, cultural experiences, and community connection.
The blend of winter aesthetics, artisanal crafts, and local flavours promises a holistic experience — combining retail, culture and entertainment in a single space. Whether it’s hand-crafted décor, locally designed fashion, or artisanal treats, the Cozy Winter Market seeks to create lasting memories for attendees while highlighting Jammu’s creative potential.
Supporting Community and Culture
Organisers have emphasised that a key component of the winter market is its contribution to the community. By dedicating part of the event’s proceeds to charity, the Cozy Winter Market aims to foster a spirit of generosity and social responsibility while promoting local business.
With its focus on community, culture and commerce, the two-day winter exhibition in Jammu is poised to become a highlight on the city’s festive calendar — an event that brings together creativity, tradition, and a showcase of Dogra heritage.
