    The Indian Culture By: Rachita Vinoth Red, pink, yellow, green, purple, orange, blue, white. Colors float and wave around me. They are in front of me, beside me, behind me, everywhere! There are so many colors that it feels like I am in the sun where all the colors are combined. But to tell you the truth, I am in India. India is a place full of colors, and everywhere you look, everything is so lively and beautiful. There are so many varieties of everything here. India is even called “The Land of Diversity” because of the varieties of food, entertainment, traditions, festivals, clothing, religions, languages, and so much more. Every direction you look, from food to religion, you will see so many unique things. It helps you, it gives you energy, it is the thing that keeps you moving and working - it’s food. There are so many famous foods in India that it is called the land of spices. People from Northern India desire foods like Mughlaifood. Famous foods in Southern India are dosa, idli, and more rice-based dishes. Some foods that people across the country like are chole bhature, all kinds of bread like roti and naan, and of course the all time favorite biryani! Some Indian desserts that are famous are kheer, rasgulla, gulab jamun, and more different varieties. Indians like to play a musical game called antakshari. They also like to watch movies, and the movies are mostly musical, including many types of songs and dances. The movie industry, Bollywood, is almost as big as Hollywood now.

    Dress and Fabrics of the Mughals

    Chapter IV Dress and Fabrics of the Mughals- The great Mughal emperor Akbar was not only a great ruler, an administrator and a lover of art and architecture but also a true admirer and entrepreneur of different patterns and designs of clothing. The changes and development brought by him from Ottoman origin to its Indian orientation based on the land‟s culture, custom and climatic conditions. This is apparent in the use of the fabric, the length of the dresses or their ornamentation. Since very little that is truly contemporary with the period of Babur and Humayun has survived in paintings, it is not easy to determine exactly what the various dresses look like other than what has been observed by the painters themselves. But we catch a glimpse of the foreign style of these dresses even in the paintings from Akbar‟s period which make references, as in illustrations of history or chronicles of the earlier times like the Babar-Namah or the Humayun-Namah.1 With the coming of Mughals in India we find the Iranian and Central Asian fashion in their dresses and a different concept in clothing.2 (Plate no. 1) Dress items of the Mughals: Akbar paid much attention to the establishment and working of the various karkhanas. Though articles were imported from Iran, Europe and Mongolia but effort were also made to produce various stuffs indigenously. Skilful master and workmen were invited and patronised to settle in this country to teach people and improve system of manufacture.2 Imperial workshops Karkhanas) were established in the towns of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad.

  • Glitter Text

    Glitter Text

    All That Glitters – Spark and Dazzle from the Permananent Collection co-curated by Janine LeBlanc and Roger Manley Randy and Susan Woodson Gallery January 23 – July 12, 2020 Through the ages, every human society has demonstrated a fascination with shiny objects. Necklaces made of glossy marine snail shells have been dated back nearly 135,000 years, while shiny crystals have been found in prehistoric burials, suggesting the allure they once held for their original owners. The pageantry of nearly every religion has long been enhanced by dazzling displays, from the gilded statues of Buddhist temples and the gleaming mosaics of Muslim mosques and Byzantine churches, to the bejeweled altarpieces and reliquaries of Gothic cathedrals. As both kings and gods, Hawaiian and Andean royalty alike donned garments entirely covered with brilliant feathers to proclaim their significance, while their counterparts in other cultures wore crowns of gold and gems. High status and desirability have always been signaled by the transformative effects of reflected light. Recent research indicates that our brains may be hard-wired to associate glossy surfaces with water (tinyurl.com/glossy-as-water). If so, the impulse drawing us toward them may have evolved as a survival mechanism. There may also be subconscious associations with other survival necessities. Gold has been linked to fire or the sun, the source of heat, light, and plant growth. The glitter of beads or sequins may evoke nighttime stars needed for finding one’s way. The flash of jewels may recall an instinctive association with eyes. In jungles as well as open grasslands, both prey and predator can be so well camouflaged that only the glint of an eye might reveal a lurking presence.

    Structure and Functions of Cocoons Constructed by Eri Silkworm

    polymers Article Structure and Functions of Cocoons Constructed by Eri Silkworm 1,2, 1,2, , Bin Zhou y and Huiling Wang * y 1 College of Textile Science and Engineering (International Institute of Silk), Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, Hangzhou 310000, China; [email protected] 2 School of Textiles and Clothing, Yancheng Polytechnic College, Yancheng 224005, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-159-4914-9270 These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 24 October 2020; Accepted: 12 November 2020; Published: 16 November 2020 Abstract: Eri silkworm cocoons (E cocoons) are natural composite biopolymers formed by continuous twin silk filaments (fibroin) bonded by sericin. As a kind of wild species, E cocoons have characteristics different from those of Bombyx mori cocoons (B cocoons). E cocoons have an obvious multilayer (5–9 layers) structure with an eclosion hole at one end and several air gaps between the layers, which can be classified into three categories—cocoon coat, cocoon layer, and cocoon lining—with varying performance indexes. There is a significant secondary fracture phenomenon during the tensile process, which is attributed to the high modulus of the cocoon lining and its dense structure. Air gaps provide cocoons with distinct multistage moisture transmission processes, which form a good moisture buffer effect. Temperature change inside cocoons is evidently slower than that outside, which indicates that cocoons also have an obvious temperature damping capability. The eclosion hole does not have much effect on heat preservation of E cocoons. The high sericin content of the cocoon coat, as well as the excellent ultraviolet absorption and antimicrobial abilities of sericin, allows E cocoons to effectively prevent ultraviolet rays and microorganisms from invading pupae.
  • Clothing of Ancient India

    Clothing of Ancient India

    Clothing of Ancient India India has a strong connection to its history and traditions. This is especially evident in traditional Indian dress. Many people still wear traditional garments, although the use of Western clothes has increased markedly. Indian clothing is very diverse and varies by region and religious group. One of the most common garments for women is the sari. A sari is a wide strip of cotton cloth, 1.5 to 2.75 metres long, which is draped around the body. There are many methods for draping a sari. One common method is to wrap it around the waist like a skirt and then drape the end over the left shoulder. Saris are usually worn over a petticoat and a tight fitting blouse, or choli. Also common is the salwar kameez, a loose shirt over loose trousers. Men often wear a dhoti, which is similar to the sari. It only covers the lower half of the body and is worn with a traditional or Western-style shirt. Both the dhoti and the sari are ancient garments, possible dating back thousands of years. Men in some parts of India. On formal occasions men may wear a long, fitted coat called a sherwani. The turban was once a common head covering, but its use is in decline. Questions 1.

The review centers on the Mulberry Silk Moth but also other silk moths (the Eri Silk Moth and wild silk moths) are covered in detail. Considerable research has taken place in most South Asian countries, which now has to be carried out to the rearers of silk moths, who are the backbone of sericulture. Obstacles to this are mentioned. Keywords: Moth; Silk; Cocoons Because of its open cocoons, the adult eri moth emerges easily from the cocoon. One cannot harvest the more than one kilometer long Introduction threads, but only short pieces of threads. So, the rearer does not have to kill the pupae, which makes the rearing of eri-larvae acceptable even November 2015, the book “South Asian Ways of Silk. A Patchwork for orthodox Buddhists, who are not allowed to kill any living creature.
