The Mahindra-Sanatkada Lucknow Festival (MSLF) 2021, in its 12th edition, celebrated the theme of Lucknow’s baradaris through an online crafts bazaar, Naqsh-o-Nigar-e-Baradari, from 1st to 12th February 2021 due to the pandemic. The virtual event showcased handcrafted products from 100 artisans alongside 3D reconstructions, photographs, and memorabilia highlighting the Qaisarbagh Baradari and other surviving baradaris. These historic structures, built in the 18th and 19th centuries, once hosted literary mehfils, performances, and community gatherings, with notable examples including the Laal Baradari, Banarsi Bagh Baradari, Chaandiwaali Baradari, and Ram Aasrey ki Baradari.
