Available at: https://readymag.com/622940/8/ (In Russian & English). Before we start discussion on the miniature painting in the Himalayan region, known popularly the world over as the Pahari Painting or the Pahari Miniature Painting, it may be necessary to trace the genesis of this fine art tradition in the native roots and the associated alien factors that encouraged its effloresces in various stylistic and thematic varieties. In fact, painting has since ages past remained an art of the common people that the people have been executing on various festive occasions. However, the folk arts tend to become refined and complex in the hands of the few gifted ones among the common folks. -

Gaul Department of Sociology/Anthropology, Hendrix College ABSTRACT In Chamba District of Himachal Pradesh, some local residents have been dedicated to environmental education, forest, watershed and wildlife protection, and the building of sustainable villages on the panchayat level for many years. These activists do not rely on any single source of inspiration or support but employ situation-specific strategies. A simultaneous history of forest protection and regeneration schemes on the part of Forest Department and various development agencies has met with a variety of responses by local people. A great deal of mobility on the part of environmental activists, in terms of not only physical travel but also strategic dexterity, gives new meaning to the term social movement. -
RESTORING the TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUE of RUMAL EMBROIDERY from HILL STATES of PUNJAB Abstract Since Olden Times, Before 1948, Hill
Gyankosh: An Interdisciplinary Journal ISSN : 2581-8252 Volume I, December 2018 RESTORING THE TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUE OF RUMAL EMBROIDERY FROM HILL STATES OF PUNJAB Dr. Rohini Arora Abstract Since olden times, before 1948, Hill states of Punjab have been famous for its textile industry. The tradition of rumal (coverlet) embroidery was prevalent throughout this region. The most popular article made was embroidered coverlets and hangings known as dhkanu (square coverlets) or chhabu (circular coverlets) used for covering the ceremonial gifts as well as offerings made both for gods and rulers(1). In the first half of 19th century, the embroidery activities declined in this region on withdrawal of patronage and radical political changes in the region. However, the tradition of embroidery was still continuing in Chamba but it lost its artistic element and reduced to mere embroidery (2). One of the significant factors declining the quality of embroidered products was deviation from traditional technique and decorative features seen in earlier artifacts. In present paper attempt was made to identify important characteristics of craft with respect to rumal and other articles made in embroidery. The significant findings were studied from photographs of museum pieces and personal collections. Technique was classified and studied with respect to stitch direction, filling stitches and outline stitches. Furthermore, ornamental features were also studied which were integral part of embroidery.
