  • Sustaining the Traditional Paithani Saree Weaving of Maharashtra, India Reena Bhatia1* and Deepti Desai2
    Available online at www.globalilluminators.org GlobalIlluminators FULL PAPER PROCEEDING Multidisciplinary Studies Full Paper Proceeding ITMAR -2014, Vol. 1, 529-536 ISBN: 978-969-9948-24-4 ITMAR-14 Sustaining The Traditional Paithani Saree Weaving Of Maharashtra, India 1* 2 Reena Bhatia and Deepti Desai 1,2Department of Clothing and Textiles, Faculty of Family and Community Sciences, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India. Abstract Among the hand woven sarees of India, Paithani is famous and has played a significant role in weaving together the socio-cultural fabric of Maharashtra since it is traditionally a part of the trousseau of every Maharashtra bride. The aim of the study was to document the existing weaving traditions of Paithani and explore the possibility of weaving Paithani as a yardage with different product layout. To achieve the formulated objectives a descriptive cum exploratory study was planned. Data collection was done through observation and interview schedule during field visits in Bhandge Lane, Yeola. The weavers were selected through purposive random sampling. Adaptation of Paithani saree layout on handloom was done for selected product range to unearth new opportunities for a local craft and help them expand their market. Data analysis indicated that the younger generation was involved in the traditional weaving of Paithani saree. The weavers were training their children in traditional weaving practices of Paithani; contributing positively to its sustainability. The craft details in terms of raw materials, loom set-up, dyeing, weaving process, types of Paithani, colours and motifs was documented through photographs and supplemented with text. It was reassuring to learn that 80 per cent of weavers would prefer to diversify into other products instead of just weaving saree if done using same technique of Paithani weaving.

The Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats forms the natural backbone of the State, with the Satpura range in the north and Bhamragadh- Chiroli- Gaikhuri ranges in the east forming its natural boundaries. The State is surrounded by Gujarat in the Northwest, Madhya Pradesh in the North, Chhattisgarh in the East, Telangana in the Southeast, Karnataka in the South and Goa in the Southwest. As per the Census 2011, the State has a population of 11.24 crore, accounting for 9.3% of the total population of the country and ranks second nationally. Its geographical area is 3.08 lakh sq.km. The State is highly urbanized at 45.2%. Many leading corporates and financial institutions have established their headquarters in Mumbai, which is the capital of the State and also the commercial capital of the country. The leading stock market, the capital market and commodity exchange centers of India are situated in Mumbai. The State has 36 districts, divided into six revenue divisions, viz. Mumbai, Nashik, Pune, Aurangabad, Amravati and Nagpur. Agriculture is the main occupation in Maharashtra. Both, food as well as cash crops are cultivated in the State. Well developed infrastructure facilities, abundant natural resources, good connectivity with the rest of the country through all modes, skilled manpower and quality education have made Maharashtra an ideal business destination for existing as well upcoming industries.

  • Fruit Preferences of Malabar Pied Hornbill Anthracoceros Coronatus in Western Ghats, India
    Bird Conservation International (2004) 14:S69–S79. BirdLife International 2004 doi:10.1017/S0959270905000249 Printed in the United Kingdom Fruit preferences of Malabar Pied Hornbill Anthracoceros coronatus in Western Ghats, India P. BALASUBRAMANIAN, R. SARAVANAN and B. MAHESWARAN Summary Food habits of Malabar Pied Hornbill Anthracoceros coronatus were studied from December 2000 to December 2001, in the Athikadavu valley, Western Ghats, India. A total of 147 individuals belonging to 18 fleshy-fruited tree species were monitored fortnightly. Thirteen fruit species, including five figs and eight non-figs, were recorded in the birds’ diet. The overall number of tree species in fruit and fruiting individuals increased with the onset of summer, the Malabar Pied Hornbill’s breeding season. The peak in fruiting is attributed to the peak in fruiting by figs. Figs formed the top three preferred food species throughout the year. During the non-breeding period (May to February), 60% of the diet was figs. During the peak breeding period (March and April), two nests were monitored for 150 hours. Ninety-eight per cent of food deliveries to nest inmates were fruits belong- ing to six species. Most fruits delivered at the nests constituted figs (75.6%). In addition, figs sustained hornbills during the lean season and should be considered “keystone species” in the riverine forest ecosystem. Two non-fig species are also important. Habitat features and local threats at Athikadavu valley were assessed. The distribution and conservation status of Malabar Pied Hornbill in the Western Ghats was reviewed. Conser- vation of hornbill habitats, particularly the lowland riparian vegetation, is imperative.

The species were characterized as zoochorous, anemochorous and autochorous. Out of 15,258 individuals, 87 % showed zoochory as a mode of dispersal, accounting for 68.1 % of the total species encountered. A test of independence between leaf habit (evergreen/deciduous) and dispersal modes showed that more than the expected number of evergreen species was zoochorous. The cumulative disturbance index (CDI) was significantly negatively correlated with zoochory (P < 0.05); on the other hand no specific trend of anemochory with disturbance was seen. The pre-monsoon period (February to May) was found to be the peak period for fruiting of around 64 % of species irrespective of their dispersal mode.
