It has been accepted for inclusion in Textile Society of America Symposium Proceedings by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Decoding the Divine: Kathi Embroideries of Saurashtra Professor Victoria Z. Rivers This paper focuses on nineteenth and early twentieth century textiles produced by the Kathi people of Saurashtra in northwest India, and motifs similar to the Kathi's repertoire. The purpose is to stimulate new thinking about archaic embroidered images and how they relate to the larger world of ancient solar/astral worship and the regenerative principles of nature. To understand this complex construct, let's start with the Kathi background, a brief history of the region, an analysis of some ancient motifs, and geographical heritage. Visually, Kathi textiles contrast bright against dark. The silky untwisted floss called heer, also adds luster through elongated darning stitches called adiya-fatiya, some chain stitch and bavaliya or thorn stitch, long herringbone stitches, and some surface satin stitches. (l) Touches of yellow, white and green, along with small mirror rounds accent the predominantly red stitches worked into deep indigo cotton grounds.

  • 'A Study of Tourism in Gujarat: a Geographical Perspective'
    ‘A Study of Tourism in Gujarat: A Geographical Perspective” CHAPTER-2 GEOGRAPHICAL PROFILE OF THE STUDY AREA ‘A Study of Tourism in Gujarat: A Geographical Perspective’ 2.1 GUJARAT : AN INTRODUCTION Gujarat has a long historical and cultural tradition dating back to the days of the Harappan civilization established by relics found at Lothal(Figure-1).It is also called as the “Jewel of the West”, is the westernmost state of India(Figure-2). The name “Gujarat” itself suggests that it is the land of Gurjars, which derives its name from ‘Gujaratta’ or ‘Gujaratra’ that is the land protected by or ruled by Gurjars. Gurjars were a migrant tribe who came to India in the wake of the invading Huna’s in the 5th century. The History of Gujarat dates back to 2000 BC. Some derive it from ‘Gurjar-Rashtra’ that is the country inhabited by Gurjars. Al-Beruni has referred to this region as ‘Gujratt’. According to N.B. Divetia the original name of the state was Gujarat & the above- mentioned name are the Prakrit& Sanskrit forms respectively. The name GUJARAT, which is formed by adding suffix ‘AT’ to the word ‘Gurjar’ as in the case of Vakilat etc. There are many opinions regarding the arrivals of Gurjars, two of them are, according to an old clan, they inhabited the area during the Mahabharat period and another opined that they belonged to Central Asia and came to India during the first century. The Gurjars passed through the Punjab and settled in some parts of Western India, which came to be known as Gujarat.Gujarat was also inhabited by the citizens of the Indus Valley and Harappan civilizations.

  • Gujarati Bhavāi Theatre
    P: ISSN NO.: 2394-0344 E: ISSN NO.: 2455 - 0817 Vol-II * Issue-VI* November - 2015 Gujarati Bhavāi Theatre: Today and Tomorrow Abstract Bhavāi, pioneered in the fourteenth century by Asāit Thākar, has been a very popular folk theatre form of Gujarat entertaining and enlightening Gujarati people and incorporating cultural ethos, mythology, folklores, History, dance and music in itself. The paper „Gujarati Bhavāi Theatre: Today and Tomorrow‟ endeavours to study the present scenario of Bhavāi theatre in Gujarat and undertakes to examine issues and challenges of survival and revival of Bhavāi in the age of globalization. While the local issues are more seriously addressed by the elite in the global age, a study of the present state of Bhavāi would be both eye-opening and fruitful. Among the major issues and challenges of Bhavāi include poor financial condition of Bhavāi players, lack of sponsorship, lack of Bhavāi training centres, lack of technology in promotion of Bhavāi, dominance of the main stream Gujarati literature and theatre, popularity of Commercial Theatre in urban areas, influence of television and the Internet, lack of comparative study/research of Bhavāi with other Indian folk theatre forms. The paper also proposes strategies for survival and revival of Bhavāi as the folk theatre form of Gujarat. Developing sense of contribution to the seven hundred years long tradition of Bhavāi, systematic training to Bhavāi players, establishment of Bhavāi Training Centres, introducing Bhavāi to the new generation, inclusion of Bhavāi in the syllabi of literature students, financial support from Corporate Houses, NGOs and State Government are but some of the most significant strategies to be developed for the survival and revival of Bhavāi in the age of globalization.

Taking a closer look at the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the authors explore the political tensions, social dynamics and economic forces thal contributed to making the state what it is today, the impact of the British policies; the process of industrialization and urbanization^ and the rise of the middle class; the emergence of the idea of '5wadeshi“; the coming £ G and hr and his attempts to transform society and politics by bringing together diverse Gujarati cultural sources; and the series of communal riots that rocked Gujarat even as the state was consumed by nationalist fervour.

  • Hinduism's Treatment of Untouchables
    Introduction India is one of the world's great civilizations. An ancient land, vast and complex, with a full and diverse cultural heritage that has enriched the world. Extending back to the time of the world's earliest civilizations in an unbroken tradition, Indian history has seen the mingling of numerous peoples, the founding of great religions and the flourishing of science and philosophy under the patronage of grand empires. With a great reluctance to abandon traditions, India has grown a culture that is vast and rich, with an enormous body of history, legend, theology, and philosophy. With such breadth, India offers a multitude of adventuring options. Many settings are available such as the high fantasy Hindu epics or the refined British Empire in India. In these settings India allows many genres. Espionage is an example, chasing stolen nuclear material in modern India or foiling Russian imperialism in the 19th century. War is an option; one could play a soldier in the army of Alexander the Great or a proud Rajput knight willing to die before surrender. Or horror in a dangerous and alien land with ancient multi-armed gods and bloodthirsty Tantric sorcerers. Also, many styles are available, from high intrigue in the court of the Mogul Emperors to earnest quests for spiritual purity to the silliness of Mumbai "masala" movies. GURPS India presents India in all its glory. It covers the whole of Indian history, with particular emphasis on the Gupta Empire, the Moghul Empire, and the British Empire. It also details Indian mythology and the Hindu epics allowing for authentic Indian fantasy to be played.

  • Typography Day 2014 - Typography and Culture
    Typography Day 2014 - Typography and Culture BABUCHAK Gujarati Display Font. Jalpa Shah, Rachana Sansad College of Applied Art & Craft, Bombay, India, [email protected] Abstract: This paper aims to showcase a Display Font on Gujarati script (variant of Devanagari script). Display fonts simply means using the characters in larger point sizes giving appropriate look and feeling associated with it. Rightly called the font is ‘Babuchak’ (common slang often said in Gujarati.) In simple words it means a nerdy villager. The characters of Babuchak font are inspired by the bits and parts of one of the liveliest and vibrant culture of Gujarat which includes Religion, Festivals, Weddings, Paintings, Architecture, Embroideries, and yes of course most importantly Cuisine! Every alphabet has a distinct individuality. A Gujarati as known to all commonly has obese bottoms and this is likely amongst the women. Observing this feature the skeleton of the characters are round and curvy. The font went through the process of selecting the subject followed by constructing (sketching) the characters, designing it digitally & applying the font. Key words: Display font, Devanagari, Gujarati Culture, Inspiration, Exploration Introduction The Devanagari script is a widely used script in India. Devanagari script was discovered to write Sanskrit. It is written from left to right with a horizontal line running on top of the alphabets. Gujarati (variant of Devanagari) script stands apart from others as it is differentiated by the loss of the horizontal line and a few modifications in the characters. Gujarat is a state located in the North-West coast of India with an excess population of 60 million.

The folk dances of Kathiawar like dandiya raas, garba , etc. folk music like bhajans, dohas , etc, litterateurs like Zaverchand Meghani, Narsinh Mehta, Bhoja Bhagat, Dulabhai Kag, etc. have occupied a prominent place in the world of folk arts and literature. The tales and poems are still enjoyed by people, when presented by folk artists in Lok Dayora (a gathering where people are entertained by folk artists). Even Bhavais (street plays) are performed telling them the stories of our great epics; today these street plays are performed to awaken citizens with their rights. This folk heritage is now moving towards extinction as today our youths are drawn towards western culture and arts. There is an urgent need for preservation of dying Kathiawari art forms and literature. Special care should be taken for the upliftment of the folk artists.
