By helping people unleash their creativity to the fullest, our products manifest beauty and open up unlimited possibilities. "e Sculptoonist RANJAN KAPUR What began as a fascination with ready-made M-seal Ganesha idols has grown into a healthy obsession for Mr. Ranjan. Malleable when so and hard when dry, M-seal has enabled him to sculpt the quirky gurines he lovingly calls ‘Sculptoons’, each one proudly bearing a unique name and identity too! Craing the everyday BHAVANA MISHRA Ex-chef and hospitality trainer Bhavana initially took up art as a hobby, and has never looked back since. She abhors wastage, which is why she uses her creativity and the brilliant shades and viscosity of Fevicryl to give old utensils and everyday kitchen products a brand new lease for life. Educate to elevate PURNIMA SAMPAT As an art educator, Purnima strives to help people of all age groups reach their full creative potential. By encouraging creative expression and experimentation, she passionately transforms her students from beginners to masters. And they, in turn, transform canvases into masterpieces! Creation is liberation ANVITA SHAH & JANINE DOCTOR Although Anvita and Janine have been exposed to the contemporary digital world, they are both far more drawn to the charm of the traditional, hands-on approach to art; it feels more real and personal. And Pidilite’s products serve as the perfect outlets for creative expression, experimenta- tion and exploration. Handmade art from the heart LUISA & HERVÉ From beautiful jewellery and vases to lamps and wall art, Luisa and Hervé work in tandem with local villagers to create hand-made paper items. Born out of a simple idea, Auroville Papers uses passion for paper, unrestrained creativity and Fevicol for binding so as to empower locals and contribute to their well-being. Of expression & creation RAJASHREE THAKKAR Adept at 300 art and cra! forms from across the globe, Rajashree believes that art isn’t about a speci"c form; it’s about creativity. Dedication, an impressive repertoire, contemporary teaching techniques and a host of Pidilite products have enabled her to nurture the creative artist within many a child. Little pieces make big dreams NITA JOSHI Post exiting the ad-mad world, Nita took up mosaic art as a hobby and felt an instant connection. Aer exhibiting her works she formally studied the art form in Italy. Today she creates beautifully intricate mosaic work and sculptures using a range of Pidilite products like Fevicol, M-seal, Fevikwik and Dr. Fixit Grout. Putting the ‘I’ in creative PRASOON PANDEY A creative maverick, Prasoon believes that creativity is synonymous with individuality. He always aims to do things di!erently, shunning any form of standardization in design. He is at his happiest "xing things and resurrecting old and discarded objects with the aid of Pidilite products like M-seal, Fevikwik and Fevicol.

  • Religious Harmony in India
    Religious Harmony in India Today, every thinking person feels an intense yearning for harmony and peace in every corner of the globe. Recent world events have created tremendous anxiety, fear, and unrest in the lives of all of us. Conflict has always continues to be the omnipresent factor contributing to our society. Disagreement between individuals and groups is social phenomenon. Pursuit of self-interest or of a group objectives are socially acceptable behaviors in all cultures. Conflicts arise when interests clash, rights are asserted, claims and counter claims are made. Thus, every society must address itself in resolving conflicts within the system of values it cherishes. Differences in values, customs, traditions, regions etc. frequently appears to be sources of tension, as individuals and groups grow up in different cultures and environment resulting into egocentric or ethnocentric feelings or attitudes in the society. Now a day’s, conflicts among the community are increasing, day by day. With the wide range of national and global development processes impacting our local cultures and societies, conflict has proved to be the ultimate stumbling block to grassroots democratic and economic development processes. Religious Harmony in India is a conception that shows that there is love, affection in between diversefaiths in India. In India, every citizen has a right to choose and practice any religion. There are examples of Muslims and Sikhs building temples. In India, different religious traditions live harmoniously, Oracles of religions call for devoutcoordination in India. According to Dalia Lama, India is a model for religious harmony. He mentions that in the last 2000-3000 years, different religious traditions, including Buddhism, Jainism, flourished here.

  • Heterotopic Assemblages Within Religious Structures: Ganesh Utsav and the Streets of Mumbai
    Open Cultural Studies 2019; 3: 96-106 Research Article Swapna Gopinath* Heterotopic Assemblages within Religious Structures: Ganesh Utsav and the Streets of Mumbai https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2019-0009 Received April 30, 2018; accepted January 4, 2019 Abstract: Indian urban public spaces have witnessed massive transformation post liberalization and globalization. In 2017, city spaces offer novel experiences and unravel new political dynamics in tune with the paradigm shifts in socio-political, economic and cultural domains. The city was shaped by the colonial and later modernizing forces, is being foregrounded in the postmodern, postcolonial discourses, and its public spaces therefore emerge as significant components in the social developments as witnessed in the new millennium. Ganesh Utsav in Mumbai is closely linked to India’s history of political struggle against British colonialism. There has been a phenomenal growth in its popularity and visibility, as a festival for ten days, encapsulating the whole city, transforming its identity as a financial capital of the country to a multiple layered carnival ground, with processions and festivities involving the majority of its population. Post globalization and neoliberalisation, the festival has transformed itself, assumed an identity uniquely political along with the rise of the right wing to power. My paper will be an attempt to critically evaluate this festival and the paraphernalia of sacredness that encapsulates the city space for ten days every year. While the spatial identity of religious practices is fascinating to observe, the ten-day festival of Ganesh Utsav builds a fabric of the sacred and profane across the city. The theoretical tool used in this study is Foucault’s heterotopias and Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of assemblage.

  • Vighnaharta Shri Siddhivinayak: Ganesh, Remover of Obstacles, Lord of Beginnings in Mumbai Rachel Dwyer – SOAS, University of London
    Vighnaharta Shri Siddhivinayak: Ganesh, Remover of obstacles, Lord of beginnings in Mumbai Rachel Dwyer – SOAS, University of London This is the author’s final peer-reviewed draft before final publication in Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East 2015 Volume 35, Number 2: 263-276. Final published version available at: 10.1215/1089201x-3139036 Introduction In the early 1990s, every time I drove on the main western route which links the suburbs to the city of Bombay, I became curious about the ongoing construction of a massive temple complex abutting the road at Prabhadevi. I learnt that this temple was dedicated to Siddhivinayak, a form of Ganesh, the elephant-headed god, to replace a modest shrine. The building work continued for several years and the temple subsequently entrenched itself in the popular imaginary as a landmark of the city. It is now sadly also been surrounded by barriers and other security arrangements, as many believe it could be the focus of a terrorist attack, partly because of the bombing of the Akshardham temple in Gandhinagar but also because of the increasing insecurity of Mumbai since the events of November 2008. Yet the temple continues to be popular and is a visible focal point for many Mumbaikers, not just because of its location but also because it attracts hundreds of barefoot devotees who walk there from all parts of Mumbai for the early Tuesday morning ceremonies at the shrine. The processions have become a feature of the city, giving it the occasional festive feel of a modern pilgrimage, albeit in a cosmopolitan metropolis.
