Kaipad rice is the naturally organic rice produced in the saline prone sea coastal rice tract of North Kerala, India falling in Kozhikode, Kannur, and Kasargod districts.

Kaipad rice comes under the species Oryza sativa. The most popular traditional cultivars of this tract are Kuthiru, and Orkayama, and improved cultivars are Ezhome – 1 and Ezhome – 2. Rice varieties developed in future based on Kaipad traditional cultivars will also be considered as Kaipad rice. The average yield of Ezhome – 1 and Ezhome – 2 range from 3.2 - 3.5 t/ ha and of Kuthiru and Orkayama from 1.0 – 1.5 t/ ha. The cultivars like Orpandy, Kandorkutty, Mundon, Orissa, Odiyan, and Punchakayama are being cultivated in a very minimal extent at some parts of Kaipad tracts.

The agronomic traits of traditional Kaipad rice cultivars along with improved cultivars are given below, Height of plant ranges from 100 – 145cm, duration from 125 - 140 days, and grains per panicle from 74 to 215.

G) Geographical Area of Production and Map as shown in Page No. :

Kaipad rice tract is seen spread in the north Malabar districts, Kozhikode, Kannur, and Kasargod near to Arabian Sea. These tracts are coastal wetlands at the bank of rivers flowing through these districts and joining to Arabian Sea. These tracts are coastal wetlands at the bank of rivers flowing through these districts and joining to Arabian Sea. The tract is located approximately 11.25º N 75.77º E / 12.5 º N 75.0º E. The Kozhikode district has an elevation of one meter along the coast with the city’s eastern edges rising to at least 15 meter, with a sandy coastal belt and a lateritic midland. A number of rivers originating from the Sahyadri run along the outer reaches of the city of Kozhikode. These include the Chaliyar puzha, Kallayi Puzha, Korapuzha, Poonoor puzha, and Iravanjhi puzha. Kaipad rice tract of Kozhikode district lie at the bank of these rivers in the Panchayaths, Koyilandi, Chengottukavu, Chemmencheri, Ulleri, Maniyur, Cheruvannur and Meppayyur. In Kozhikode district the approximate area of Kaipad tract is 500 hectors.

Six rivers drain Kannur district, the longest being the Valapattanam river with a length of 110 km. Other rivers flowing through Kannur district are Kuppam, Mahe, Anjarakandi, Thalassery, Ramapuram and Perumba. Kaipad rice tracts of Kannur district mainly lie on the bank of Valapattanam and Kuppam rivers in the Panchayaths, Ezhome, Pattuvam, Kannapuram, Cherukunnu, Puzhanthi, Chelora, Narath, Kolacheri, Chirakkal, Munderi, Elayavoor, Kuttiyattoor, Mayyil, Pinarayi, Eranjoli and Chokkli. In Kannur district, the approximate area of Kaipad tract is 3400 hectares. During British Dynasty, Ezhome Panchayath was known as “The Akyab” of Chirakkal Taluk, after Akyab in Burma which produced the highest yield of rice in the world (Panchayath vikasana rekha) .The Kasargod district is the northern most district of state of Kerala. It has an average elevation of 19 meters. Kasargod district lying in the northern tip of Kerala bounded by the Western Ghats in the east and Arabian Sea in the west, 12 rivers flowing across its terrain. Most of the Kaipad tracts in Kasargod lie at the bank of Chandragiri river in the Panchayaths, Mangalpady, Manjeswar, Kumbala, Mogral Puthur, Udma, Pallikkara, Pullur - Periya, Kanhangad, Ajanoor, Cheruvathur, Pilicode, Padanna, Valiyaparamba, and Thrikkaripur. There is about 200 hectares of Kaipad field in Kasargod district.

H) Proof of Origin (Historical records):

The name of Kaipad is not properly recorded as such in ancient literature, but mentioned as “Kayal Kandom” in the Malayalam book- ‘Francis Bukkanante Keralam’ (Keralam of Francis Bukkanan) in page number 182, second paragraph. The book is translation of the original book ‘A journey from Madras, through the countries of Mysore, Canara and

GI Journal No. 52 11 October 30, 2013 Malabar - Vol II’ by Dr. Francis Bukkanan Published by the state Institutes of Languages, Kerala Thiruvananthapuram, 1981.

This book gives the travel story of Dr. Francis Bukkanan who travelled through Madras, Mysoor, Kanara and Malabar in 1800-1801 to study in detail the situations of these places as per the direction of English East India Company where he was employed. There are three sections for this book. In the third section which is “ utharamalabariloodeyulla yathra’ , the travel note on 1801 January 8-10, under the sub head- ‘Nelkrishi’, in the second paragraph of page number 182, the saline sea coastal areas are mentioned as ‘Kayalkandom’ and local cultivars of this area as ‘kuttadan’.‘Kayal’ is the Malayalam terminology of rice field. On enquiry from farmers of Kaipad rice tracts, it is realized that ‘Kaipad ‘is the shortened form of ‘Kayal padam’ which means ‘Kayal kandom’. ‘Padam’ is another terminology of rice field in Malayalam.

I) Method of Production:

Nearness to Arabian Sea and the presence of large number of rivers makes the tract saline prone adapted to specific cultivars and specific system of cultivation. Soil Soil properties of Kaipad rice tract is given below, the soil type of Kaipad is saline hydromorphic. The soil pH throughout the depth of soil profiles is slightly acidic. Even though Kaipad is saline, the submerged condition rectifies the ill effects. Similarly, rice- fish farming also remunerative for salinity. Due to flooding, availability of elements like N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Si, and Mn were found to increase and causes decrease in availability of Zn and Cu.

Vol. I & KAU, unpublished)

GI Journal No. 52 12 October 30, 2013 Cultivars The most popular traditional cultivars of this tract are Kuthiru, and Orkayama, and improved cultivars are Ezhome- 1 and Ezhome -2. Rice varieties developed in future based on Kaipad traditional cultivars will also be considered as Kaipad rice. The average yield of Ezhome-1 and Ezhome -2 ranges from 3.2- 3.5 t/ ha and of Kuthiru and Orkayama from 1.0-1.5 t/ha. The cultivars Ezhome – 2 and Kuthiru are medium duration cultivars and Ezhome - 1 and Orkayama are long duration cultivars and they are photo insensitive. The cultivars like Orpandy, Kandorkutty, Mundon, Orissa, Odiyan, and Punchakayama are being cultivated in a very minimal extent at some parts of Kaipad tracts and they are photo sensitive.

Planting and Land Preparation Rice farming is carried out in a peculiar way in Kaipad, purely in a natural way relying on the monsoon and the sea tides. Single – crop of rice is cultivated, on mounds, in a low to medium saline phase of production cycle during June to October.

Mound Preparation As there is always water in flaw in Kaipad, during rice farming season, the field has to be dried before start of land preparation activities. To prevent entering of water in Kaipad, bunds are constructed at the edge of Kaipad where it meets with the river. The bunds are constructed using wild grasses and sticky muds taken from riverbanks. These bunds are locally known as Kandi or Chira. The flow of water is regulated by sluice made up of wood which is locally known as Mancha. Agricultural operation begins by beginning of April by draining out saline water completely from the Kaipad field, and left to dry for a period of one month. After that, small mounds of diameter about 45cm and height about 60cm are taken by skilled male labourers. This land preparation work completes by middle of May. By early June, when South West monsoon starts and intensifies, the salinity from the top of the mound leaches away. Soils on the mounds formed for sowing seeds attain low levels of salinity on washing and leaching with rain water, while salts accumulate in the soils between the mounds. When there is enough fresh water flow in the river, the sluices are opened fully. From this time onwards there won’t be any control of tidal in flaw and out flow from the river till the maturity stage of rice crop.

Sowing In June, after the receipt of south west monsoon, paddy seeds of saline tolerant cultivars will be soaked in water for 24 hours. Soaked seeds will be tied in gunny bags or tied in bags of coconut fronts or covered with banana leaves for a period of 2-3 days till the seeds germinate and white radical comes out. If there is no rain fall on the day of sowing, sowing has to be postponed till rain comes out. At that time the germinated seeds have to be spread on the floor to prevent over germination of seeds which will cause deterioration of quality of seeds. When rain comes, the top of the mound is slightly raked by man labourers and woman labourers sow the germinated seeds on the raked mounds, and cover with mud. Mounds are usually taken at places where salinity is more. In places where salinity is less, sprouted seeds can be broadcasted in raked fields.

GI Journal No. 52 13 October 30, 2013 Transplanting After 45 days, the mounds with grown up seedlings will be dismantled without damage to the roots of seedlings by man labourers, and the seedlings in clefts are dispersed around the flattened mounds. Woman labourers spread them apart uniformly. Transplanting will be over by July end. Raising nursery on wetland and transplanting in Kaipad marshy land is also practiced. Afterwards, there is no need of any cultural operations till the harvest. Usually weed growth will be less, and if it is there weeding will be over by mid August. In Kaipad cultivation, there is no application of organic or chemical fertilizers, only lime application is done in some pockets. As there is no pest and disease occurrence in Kaipad, there is no pesticide and fungicide application.

Manuring Neither chemical/organic fertilizers nor plant protection chemicals are used in rice, fish, or shrimp farming. The tidal flows make the fields highly fertile through a symbiotic relationship between rice crop and prawn, shrimp, fish etc. The fingerlings of fish, shrimp, prawn etc. which swim in from the sea and the backwaters after the rice harvest, feed on the leftovers of the harvested crop. The rice crop draws nutrients from the excrement and other remnants of these sea creatures. Further, diversity of flora and fauna is rich when compared to modern rice farming system. The tidal currents generated in the sea causes flow in of water to Kaipad fields through the river during high tide and flow out during the low tide. When water level rises in the river either due to monsoon or due to high tide, water flows in Kaipad fields. The river water is usually saline except during monsoon. Along with the river water, the Kaipad fields receives good deposit of highly fertile organic matter from forest wastes as well as marine wastes. This along with post- harvest vegetation’s including submerged macrophytes, left over paddy stubbles in Kaipad, excretion of migratory birds, and remnants of aqua culture make the Kaipad ecosystem highly fertile.

Weed control The minimal weeds seen in Kaipad are not harmful to rice crop when there is cultivation in Kaipad tracts and normally there is no purposeful removal of weeds as practiced in modern rice farming system. When there is excess weeds hand weeding is practiced.

Plant protection The peculiarity of Kaipad ecosystem is that there is no pest and disease incidence in the natural field condition.

Harvest and Yield The crop will be ready for harvest by the end of September to mid of October. During harvest, panicles along with small portion of the culm are harvested leaving larger part of the stubbles in the field. The harvested produce from interior of Kaipad is brought to the bank of Kaipad in yachts or country boats. Yield of Kaipad cultivar ranges from 1.0-3.5 t/ ha.

GI Journal No. 52 14 October 30, 2013 Processing Parboiled rice is consumed by farmers and sold in the local market. Rice flakes are an important product produced at this tract. As rice flakes also contains bran of rice unlike milled rice, the nutritive value of rice flakes available at Kaipad rice tract which is naturally an organic tract is imperative. This is evident from the local practice of giving Kaipad rice flakes to the people outside Kaipad rice tract by the people of Kaipad rice tract, when they visit their house for the first time. Rice flakes from Kaipad rice tracts fetches 40% more price than flakes from ordinary wetland field in the local market. As the farmers of this tract are small and marginal farmers, they could not do large scale processing and marketing by their own.

Kaipad ecosystem Kaipad is a saline prone naturally organic rice production tract of North Kerala, India falling in Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasargod districts. The Kaipad system of rice cultivation is an integrated organic farming system in which rice cultivation and aquaculture go together in coastal brackish water marshes which is rich in organic matter. The network of backwaters and estuaries serves as an inlet of sea water and causes salinity in the area. This ecosystem is rich in biodiversity with respect to flora and fauna. There is several species of phytoplankton’s and marine fungi which play an important role in the degradation of organic matter. Mangroves which are seen on the fringes of back waters and estuaries are characteristics feature of Kaipad tracts. Mangrove provides breeding sites for fishes and prawn, and bind toxic chemicals and pollutants. Mangrove forests are valued for fish, shell fish, livestock fodder, fuel and building materials, local medicine, honey, and bees wax, chemicals or tanning leather, timber and wood. The prop roots of mangroves penetrate deep into anaerobic mud flats and activate mineral cycling and maintain productivity of Kaipad ecosystem. The crown of mangroves provides resting and nesting place for birds, and flowers are good source of honey. Diverse species of migratory birds are another speciality of this ecosystem.

As Kaipad tract is coastal to the river which merges into sea, there will be flood during monsoon and salinity during summer season. Kaipad ecosystem consists of marshes, swamps, ponds, and paddy fields which help in controlling sedimentation, flood and pollution. The tidal currents generated in the sea causes flow in of water to Kaipad fields through the river during high tide and flow out during the low tide. When water level rises in the river either due to monsoon or due to high tide, water flows in Kaipad fields. The river water is usually saline except during monsoon. Along with the river water, the Kaipad field receives good deposit of highly fertile organic matter from forest wastes as well as marine wastes. This along with left over paddy stubbles in Kaipad excretion of migratory birds, and remnants of aqua culture makes the Kaipad ecosystem highly fertile. Hence the rice produce from this particular ecosystem is purely organic.

Rice farming is carried out in a peculiar way in Kaipad, purely in a natural way relying on the monsoon and the sea tides. Single- crop of rice is cultivated, on mounds, in a low to medium saline phase of production cycle during June to October. Harvesting takes place by the end of October. Harvested products are brought in yachts from the interior parts of Kaipad rice tracts. This is followed by traditional fishing, during the high saline

GI Journal No. 52 15 October 30, 2013 phase, during November to April. Neither chemical fertilizers nor plant protection chemicals are used in rice, fish, or shrimp farming. The tidal flows make the fields highly fertile through a symbiotic relationship between rice crop and prawn, shrimp, fish etc. The fingerlings of fish, shrimp, prawn etc. which swim in from the sea and the backwaters after the rice harvest, feed on the leftovers of the harvested crop. The rice crop draws nutrients from the excrement and other remnants of these sea creatures. Also, there is no purposeful removal of weeds as practiced in modern rice farming system.

Climate: Kaipad rice tract features tropical monsoon climate with high temperatures recorded from March to May. During the months of April and May, the mean daily maximum temperature ranges from 31.2º C to 35º C. Temperature is low in December and January and the minimum temperature is about 20º C to 23.6º C. The weather is ideal towards the end of the year from December and January until March when the skies are clear and the air is crisp. Winters are seldom cold. A brief spell of pre-monsoon showers hits the tract sometime during April. This is followed by the South- West monsoon which continues till the end of September. The tract also receives significant precipitation from the North - East Monsoon that sets in from the second half of October through November. The annual average rainfall is 3438 mm and more than 80% of it occurs during the period of South - West monsoon. The rainfall during July is very heavy.

Aqua culture in Kaipad After the harvest of paddy, the Kaipad field is left for aqua culture, especially for shrimp culture. Aqua culture in Kaipad is of traditional capture based. Immediately after the cessation of North East monsoon in November, the bunds around the fields will be strengthened using sticky mud and weeds, and wooden sluice gate (Mancha) will be fixed. The bund owners are different from owners of Kaipad field. During high tide, through the opened sluice, water will be entered in the Kaipad with high force. Along with the tidal current, fingerlings of prawn, crab and other fishes enter into the field. The quantity of fingerlings depends upon the force and duration of tidal current. A conical shaped net with an opening will be fixed inside the Mancha during tidal in flaw. The fingerlings of the prawn and other aqua creatures go inside the field through this but cannot come out. After the tide, the net is removed and a filter is fixed to prevent the escape of prawn, fish fingerlings from Kaipad. Maximum water will be allowed to enter into Kaipad during two tides. After that, water is kept in the field two to three months allowing the fingerlings of prawn, fishes, etc., to mature. The paddy stubbles, algae, and other debris in Kaipad form food material for the prawns, fishes and others. The debris of aqua culture later makes the Kaipad organically rich – a symbiotic relationship between rice and aqua creatures. Fish filtration at the sluice begins three to four days after the full moon day, and ends by three or four days after full moon day. During these days a net is placed at the outlet of Mancha in the early morning, and prawns and fishes will be filtered during tidal outflow. This process is locally known as Kandi Koala. The prawn and fish filtration will be done intensively till April 14th which is beginning of the new agriculture year. It is commonly known as Vishu sankranthi day in Hindu mythology. The bund owners and the leased in fish harvesters do fishing intensively till this day. To get maximum prawn / fish harvest, two to four days prior to Vishu sankranthi day the

GI Journal No. 52 16 October 30, 2013 bund owners allow anybody to do fishing with a guaranty that, half the harvest produce will be given to the bund owners. This practice is locally known as Kandi Kalakkal means churning the field. After Vishu sankranthi day, the resource is open to the public, anybody can fish from private paddy fields. During aqua culture season, people who are skilled in this work do prawn filtration and all related works on the bunds. As most of the works are done during night, small huts will be constructed on bunds and a watchman will be entrusted for security purpose and to prevent pouching .There is fish filtration during monsoon season when there is crop in Kaipad, which is known as Marsha Kettu but the quantity of catch will be less.

J) Uniqueness:

 Kaipad rice is produced from saline tolerant cultivars grown in naturally organic production system called Kaipad. The produce is purely organic with excellent cooking qualities. The rice is having volume expansion ranging from 3.2- 3.5, non- sticky nature, red kernel colour, and with delicious taste.  Nutritive value of Kaipad rice is excellent with good content of iron (59.8 to 303 mg/kg), calcium (154 to 218 mg/kg), and potassium (8359 to 14075 mg/kg).  Due to the unique and complex combination of agro- climatic conditions prevailing in the region of Kaipad rice tracts, rice produced in this region are having distinctive and naturally occurring characteristics, which have won the patronage and recognition of both low income consumers and high income consumers. If it is grown in some other regions, the characteristic qualities get diluted.  As there is no pest and disease incidence in Kaipad rice tracts, no chemical plant protection is followed. Farmers are following the unique natural way of cultivation practices, as the tract is suited for natural organic rice production. This clearly indicates that Kaipad rice and related products are free from hazardous chemicals.

D) Specification:

A shawl is a light woollen fabric, which women usually drape around and over the chest and shoulders. The Kullu Shawl is well known for its unique texture, yarn and typical traditional design patterns. It could be specified as the fabric made on handloom with yarn on which value addition is done by inserting design threads (width wise) during weaving by hand to develop geometric/ floral motifs in such a manner that both sides of fabric gives the same look. The women's shawls are generally manufactured in standard sizes with following specifications:

Size: 2 x l m2, Thickness: 22 micron wool, Fibre length: 65mm, Weight: 350gms. to 400gms.

Gents' Shawls: Size: 45" x 90", 50" x 100",54" x 108", Thickness: 22 micron wool, Fibre length: 65mm, Weight: 425gms. to 650gms.

The price of shawls depends upon the quality of wool and the pattern. Besides Shawls, Caps, mufflers and pattus are also being manufactured in Kullu.

Local wool is acquired from sheep bred in Himachal Pradesh. Most of the sheep are migratory. In summers, the local shepherds called Gaddies migrate from the villages to the higher hills for grazing. In winters, the sheep are brought back to their villages. These

GI Journal No. 52 19 October 30, 2013 sheep are reared twice a year during the autumn and spring seasons i.e. in the months of September and April. This wool is obtainable in natural white, black, and grey and brown. Due to its coarseness, local wool is usually used for floorings and blankets. These days, Marino wool and Angora wool are also being used in the weaving of Kullu Shawl.

E) Name of the Geographical Indication:

KULLU SHAWL (LOGO)

F) Description of Goods:

Kullu Shawls are named after Kullu Valley, the place of origin, in the State of Himachal Pradesh. The Kullu Shawl is in existence for about last 200 years. Kullu town is situated on the right bank of river Beas at an altitude of 1230 metres above mean sea level in the western Himalayan State of Himachal Pradesh. The Kullu valley is also known as Valley of Gods. The Kullu town has a rich heritage and the references of Kullu are found in many historical books. In ancient times Kullu was known as Kulant peeth (which means the end of habitable world).

The Weaving and designing of Kullu Shawls are now continued by local people of Kullu valley, done by weavers on hand looms in Kullu valley. A number of co-operative societies have also been formed and these societies have given employment to thousands of local workers. However, a large number of Kullu Shawls are weaved on traditional hand looms in villages by individual weavers. Geographical map of the shawl manufacturing area is enclosed.

Kullu Shawl is considered to be of good quality and texture. Textures, method of weaving are its unique features. The yarn used to manufacture the Shawl is still spun by traditional methods and fabricated on Khaddis (Traditional Handlooms). Skilled labour is required for carrying out designing and weaving operations to maintain optimum production. Kinds of yarn used to manufacture the Shawls are local wool, Marino wool, Angora, Pashmina, synthetic yarn, cotton, and Yak wool. The fabric is also used to make Kullu caps, mufflers, dressing material with traditional Kullu patterns. Wool testing laboratories have been set up by Bhuttico and Central Wool Development Board, Ministry of Textiles Govt. of India at Kullu. The manufacture of Kullu Shawl requires winding, warping, drafting, fitting, weaving, clipping, fringing, labelling, finishing and marketing. The Kullu Shawl industry is providing employment to about 10,000 workers in the valley.

GI Journal No. 52 20 October 30, 2013 G) Geographical Area of Production and Map as shown in Page No. :

Kullu town is situated on the right bank of river Beas, at an altitude of 1230 meters above sea level, at an latitude of 31°55"N and longitude of 77 °06"E, in the western Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh. Kullu shawl is manufactured in Kullu valley particularly along the river valley of Beas. Geographically valley runs from Manali (in north) to Aut (in south), the northern, eastern and western part of the valley is in Kullu district and southern part of the valley is in Mandi district. The production of Kullu Shawl has also started in certain pockets of Himachal Pradesh. These weavers or units/co-operative societies located in H.P which adhered to the norms and quality of Kullu Shawls will be included.

H) Proof of Origin (Historical records):

Kullu Shawls are named after Kullu Valley, the place of origin, in the State of Himachal Pradesh. The Kullu Shawl is in existence for about last 200 years.

Kullu Valley falls under temperate Himalayan region, the cold climate prevalent is suitable for sheep and goat rearing, this also fulfils the necessity for woollens. Initially the people of Kullu used to weave Patti, which is 18", 20" or 22" wide, and having an appropriate length. They wove it to fulfil the bare necessity of covering their body and protecting themselves from severe cold. Men folk wove Patti for coats and suthan (pyjamas) and women used it as Pattus for themselves. Men also made caps out of Patti, which was originally woven in natural colours of wool i.e. black, white and grey. In the early 1920's the Kullu shawl industry experienced a slump and would have become a forgotten craft if the government had not set up an Industrial Training School in Kullu district to train weavers. Shri. Ved Ram Thakur contributed significantly to the heritage by introducing a variety of traditional designs after a long careful study of old Pattus and was the moving spirit behind the Bhutti Weavers Co-operative Society, in Kullu valley, one of the biggest of producer of Kullu Shawls.

Until 1936 Pattus were made on the pitloom, but after that handlooms came into way, this probably happened because of the industrial training school. When weavers from Rampur Bushehar came to the valley in early 1889 their craft influenced the people of Kullu Valley. The weavers of Bushehar were acquainted with the geometrical designs, which they successfully used on Pattus. Thakur Ved Ram introduced a simpler version of this design in the Pattu and further modified the size to the modern Kullu Shawl in early 40's. In 1942 when Indian film star Devika Rani, daughter-in-law of famous Russian painter Nicholas Roerich, came to Kullu. She took interest in the looms. Thakur Ved Ram, Pt. Urvi Dhar and Tehal Singh Thakur, Ram Chand Thakur, Mool Chand Thakur were the early pioneers of the commercial production of the Kullu Shawls. The advent of synthetic threads in Kullu too dates back to 1940's when Busheheras came to the valley. In 1957 Kullu Shawl Improvement Center opened up in the valley and Mr. Devi Prakash Sharma helped in developing diverse designs.

GI Journal No. 52 21 October 30, 2013 Due to perishable nature of the material, every old specimen of woollen fabrics, have not survived today nor is there any historical or archaeological evidence. But references to them, especially to woollen wraps, abound in pahari folk songs. Jasleen Dhamija, commenting on the origins of the crafts in the area writes, The empress Mumtaz Mahal is credited with having discovered the art of wool weaving in Kullu in the 17th Century. An expedition to the hill areas returned with fabrics woven with intricate designs for the queen who was so impressed by their texture and their designs that they gave them royal patronage which "elevated their products to the same level as the fine woollens from Kashmir and Turkistan".

The annual turn-over from the Shawl industry alone is estimated to be Rs. 120 crores.

References of history of Kullu Shawls are available in the following books: 1. The Gazetteer of Kangra District, 1882. 2. The Wonder Land - Himachal Pradesh, An Encyclopaedia, By Jagmohan Balokhara. 3. Crafts of Himachal Pradesh By Subhashini Aryan, R.K. Dutta Gupta. 4. Indian Crafts - Development and Potential (detail of Kullu Shawls, page 70, 78-79) By D.N. Saraf. 5. Kullu, the end of Habitable World By Penelope Chetwode (page 57).

I) Method of Production:

The tradition of wool weaving in Himachal Pradesh is of very ancient origin. Its exquisite textiles are characterised by colourful geometrical borders woven in tapestry weave over a twill ground in natural shades of wool. Since centuries, the people of Kullu have been known to weave:

 Pattu - A Woollen fabric draped by women like a sarong.  Dohru - A Woollen fabric worn by the women also draped like a sarong, though in a different style than the Pattu.  Shawl - A light Woollen fabric draped around the shoulders and chest by women.  Chaddar - A gents shawl.  Patti - Local tweed used for coats, jackets and trousers.  Tweed - Worsted fabric generally woven in stripes or checks used for coats, jackets and trousers. Man learnt weaving from spiders and sparrow/tailor birds. The woollen yarn is procured in cone form from the mill spinning unit and further wound onto various bobbins for making the warp.

In the case of the pitloom, the warp is made manually by winding it around peg stands separated by a certain amount of distance. The drafting and denting of the ends is done by pulling them through the thread healds and the reed with the help of fingers. The warp is then set onto the loom, its ends are tied and its tension adjusted as per the requirement and then weaving is done by inserting weft threads by hand with the help of shuttle and design is created manually by inserting design threads as per the design graph during weaving. There are two type of designs- A- typical design, B- bana design. In typical

GI Journal No. 52 22 October 30, 2013 design weft of the ground in not used and different colored threads are inserted as per the design in a single pick to make one full pick and so on until full design is created. This process takes more time and required more skill. While in bana design threads are inserted along with the ground weft.

The warp for the fly shuttle flame loom is wound on the warping machine. It is transferred to the warp beam under tension, which is then put on the loom for drafting and denting. The warp ends are drafted and dented with a reed hook, the loom tie-ups and tension are readjusted and the loom is all set for weaving.

The basic structure of the shawl is 2/2 twill woven on a straight or pointed drafting order. However other types of weavers are also being used. The surface texture could be as follows:  Straight lifting plan woven on a straight drafting plan to give diagonal lines.  Pointed lifting plan woven on a straight drafting plan to give a vertical zigzag.  Straight lifting plan woven on a pointed drafting plan to give a horizontal wavy pattern.  Pointed lifting plan woven on a pointed drafting plan to give a diamond shaped structure.

The patterned border of the shawls is always woven in a basket weave with the dove- tailing or slit-tapestry techniques. The coloured graph of the design to be woven is used as a reference and the number of ends per design repeat is calculated. Cut lengths of the coloured acrylic wool threads are. inserted in the warp in 2-3 plys. The technique used to create the pattern is the interlacing or the 'dove-tailing' technique also referred to as the tapestry weave.

Raw material The chief material for shawls is wool. Generally yarns used are of 100% wool but blended with angora, local wool, pashmina and synthetic yarns are also used. Besides the mill spun yarn hand spun yarn are also in use.

The different types of wool qualities available in Himachal Pradesh are:

Generally, the count of the yarn used for the body ranges from 2/44's to 2/50's. The count of the reed used may be 36's, 40's or 42's. Most commonly, a 2/48's warp is woven using a reed of 42's count-this is considered to be the ideal combination for weaving the ground fabric as well as the patterned border of the shawl.

Local Wool This is wool obtained from sheep bred in Himachal Pradesh. Most of them are migratory. In summer, the sheep migrate from the villages in the lower plains to the higher up Himalayan pastures for grazing with the 'Gaddies' or local shepherds. During the freezing winter months, the sheep are brought back to their villages in the lower Himalayas. These sheep are reared twice a year during autumn and spring seasons i.e. in the months of

GI Journal No. 52 23 October 30, 2013 September and April. There are two distinct breeds of sheep found in the state: (I) Desi, (2) Cross Breed.

Desi Breed-The different types of wool obtained from Desi sheep are:  Byangl: Fine quality wool from Kinnaur district. Staple length of fibres is 5"- 6".  Deshkad: Local wool of Kullu, coarser, got from sheep that do not migrate.  Imboo: Soft wool from first shearing of the lamb. Staple length of fibres is 2" -4".

Cross Breed-These are a cross between desi sheep and Merino. The quality of their wool is superior to the wool of the desi sheep-relatively finer in diameter and longer in staple length. However, there is no difference in their relative rate per kilo. All local wool costs the same, whether Desi or Cross Breed.

Local wool is available in natural white, black, grey and brown. Owing to its rough texture and coarse quality, local wool is normally used for floor covering and blankets: for pattus and dohrus in some cases.

J) Uniqueness:

Kullu Shawl designs are geometrical in nature whereas other shawls are embroidery based. Kullu Shawls have the unique characteristics in its weaving, designing and colour combination. which gives the same look from both sides due to its weaving, designing and colour combination. Kullu Shawls weaved pattern can be taken on two or four heads fly shuttle loom. The weft threads are entered alternatively in the shed made by healds which are raised and lowered as per the weave by pedals. Insertion of more than one coloured threads in a single pick (cut weft) by hand during weaving with the reversible effect makes this fabric as it is not possible to get such effect with any other kind of looms whether powerloom or any sophisticated loom.

The Kullu Shawls are marked by a harmonious combination of colours and designs evolved over the centuries. Shawls are available in wide variety, ranging from the extremely fine to very coarse. The material traditionally used for Shawl weaving was under fleece obtained from the mountain goat, pashmina, found in the higher reaches of Kinnour and Lahaul & Spiti. Kullu has been famous for its shawls with striking geometrical patterns and vibrant hues. Traditionally, two types of shawls are woven here: the Pattu for women and the chadru for men. Both are much larger than the shawls used by people in the plains. A distinctive feature of Kullu Shawls is the stripes or band running horizontally widthwise at the lateral ends. These bands, a few centimeters wide and varying from two to seven centimeters on each side, are decorated with a variety of patterns woven in brilliant colours like yellow, green, white or red on a black background or orange and green on a brown base. Some shawls display a flying bird motif scattered over the surface. Motifs such a stylized floral patterns (Phul); dolls with raised hands (guddi), drops, (tipu); and stars, (tara), are evenly distributed between parallel lines and form hands of decoration. Birds (chiri), plain snake (sada kiru) spotted snake (dabbidar kiru), temple (mandir), nightingales's eye (bulbul chashm); key (chabi), waves (laheriya); rose (gulab); staircase

GI Journal No. 52 24 October 30, 2013 (sirihri), dot patterns, (danedar) and irlterlinked swastikas, (jura hua Ganesh), comprise the traditional repertoire of motifs.

The Kullu Shawls weave effect can be produced on healds loom dyed woollen yarn is woven into the warp for colourful pattern worked into indigo blue, deep green, chrom yellow, deep red and black etc. in different coloured according to customers demand, taste. The design of Kullu Shawls is depicted on both the sides. Woollen yarn is also tested in woollen testing laboratory to maintain its highest standard of quality.

MUGA SILK OF ASSAM (LOGO)

F) Description of Goods:

Silk is a protein fibre produced by silkworm for spinning cocoon. The purpose of the cocoon is to provide a protective casing to the silk worm during the most critical period of its life i.e. the pupal stage. Basically there are two proteins, which form the silk fibre i.e. "fibroin" which constitutes the core of the fibre and "Sericin" a waxy substance that encases the fibroin. These proteins are synthesized by the silk worm from the leaf it feeds on during its larval period.

There are three types of silkworm found in Assam, particularly mulberry, eri and muga silk. The muga silk is golden-yellow in colour. Muga possesses the highest tensile strength among all the natural textile fibres. Muga cloth has 85.8% absorption capacity of ultra-violet ray of sunlight.

Muga Silk Mekhela-Chadar is a traditional dress for Assamese women. Mekhela is a loin cloth of length 2.5m and width 80 cm to 90 cm. Chadar is a wrapper cloth of width 100 cm and length 2.75 m to 3 m. Muga Silk saree of length 5.5 m and 6.25 m in case of saree with blouse. The width of the saree is 115 cm. Muga Silk plain fabric of different width ranging from 45 cm to 115 cm for making garments, furnishing materials and decorative items.

G) Geographical Area of Production and Map as shown in Page No. :

The Geographical Area of production of Muga Silk lies between North Latitude: Between 24°15'00" to 28°00'00" East Longitude: Between 89°30'00" to 96°06'00" Area: 78,438 Square kilometres. Assam was known as 'Kamarupa' or 'Pragjyotish' in the period of the Epics. Human inhabitation of this area dates backs to about 2000 BC. Suvarnakudya is one of the place in Assam. Assam is located in the tropical latitudes (24.30 N and 280 N) and eastern longitudes (89.50 E and 96.10E)

GI Journal No. 52 30 October 30, 2013 The rivers Brahmaputra and Barak, in the north and south respectively, carve out deep valleys that represent the major part of the state. It is in the narrow strip of the Brahmaputra and Barak valley that the MUGA plant grows abundantly and cultivation is restricted to this area as well

H) Proof of Origin (Historical records):

 The people inhabiting the region of Assam have carried on the production of Muga silk as it is called as a tradition. Based upon the historical record available, people of Assam have been using Muga silk since 321 B.C. The scientific name of Muga silk (Antheraea assama) itself shows its originate.  Asom had a reputation as producer of high quality silk and that the Brahmaputra valley was on the ancient silk route: Yogini Tantra, II.9, p. 258260; Babrubaha Parva, V. 30-32; Periplus of the Erythrean Sea, p 264;  Muga identified with Asomiya traditional knowledge, expressions of folklore and culture since antiquity.  The scientific name of Muga silk (Antheraea Assama) itself shows its origin  The term 'Muga [unlike Pat (Pattaja) and Endi (Eranda)] is a Asomiya term connecting the rich amber colour of the cocoon.  Earliest mention of Muga : Arthasastra attributed to Kautilya mentioned in 321 B.C., that the varieties of textile commodities known as dukula, was the product of the country Suvarnakudya / Sonkudhia (Located in Kamarupa Earlier name of Assam) which was as red as sun (batarkaprabhan), as soft as the surface of gem, being woven while the threads were very wet (manishingdha dake vanam), of uniform (coturasra) or mixed texture (vyamisravana). Kautilya also referred to a variety of silk garments known as patrona produced in the country Suvarnakudya were the best. (Kautilya's Arthashastra: Book II, Chapter 11, sloka 104,107)  Tavernier, John Baptiste "Travels in India", 1662 p. 220; who made special mention on silkworm variety from Kamarupa (Asom) that remained on trees all year round, meaning nothing but the conventional outdoor rearing of MUGA worm even today.  Tallish, Shihabuddin 1662 accompanying Mir Jumla (who invaded Assam) during the same time observed the same.  Bogle, George: Treaty with Bhutan (1775): Bodo tribals traded Muga silk (Latin: Antheraea assama) with Bhutan through the Buxa pass.  Helfer, T.W. (1837): On the indigenous Silkworms of India. - The Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (Calcutta), VI (I), 1837: 38--47, pI.

They proved that the Assam is the homeland for Muga silk. They mentioned that Muga was stouter and more durable fabrics than pat silk. Assam silk, especially Muga silk was very much demanding Europe and it formed a trade of the East India Company during the 18th through early 19th centuries. Gait [3], also mentioned that the customs house at Haida opposite Goalpara, fixed a duty fees of 10% according to the terms of commercial treaty executed with Gaurinath Singh by Captain Welsh on behalf of East India company in 1793 A. D. He reported that 224 mounds of Muga silk thread were exported and the value was placed at Rs. 53899.00 during that period.  The first official records of Muga worm and Muga silk culture appeared in 1662. The culture of silkworm could be traced out from the notes of great writer. Shihabuddin tallish, who was accompanied by Mirjumla at the time of invasion of Assam. (Guwahati was occupied on 4th Feb, 1662). There was mention in his describing on the dresses, the people of Assam used. The official records of 1662 was that "the silk are good but the people produce little more than they require for use" was attributed to famous traveller J. B. Tavemier [6], who made special mention on silkworm variety from Assam that remained on trees all the round, meaning nothing but the conventional outdoor rearing of Muga worm even today.  Barua, stated that Bhaskarverma sent to Harshabardhan through Hamsabhega, about 1300 years ago (mentioned in Harchacharit)," silk cloths, while as autumn moonlight loin cloths smooth as the birch bark, which included all the specimens of Eri, Pat and Muga silk.”

I) Method of Production:

Muga silkworms are raised outdoors. Newly hatched worms are mounted on food plant (som or soalu). They are put either on the east or north side of the trees to get sufficient sunshine by the help of bamboo poles.

Another method of mounting the newly hatched Muga worms is by putting small twigs bearing soft and tender leaves over the newly hatched worms in the egg boxes/baskets. The worms will crawl up to the leaves. The twigs with the worms are then tied with suitable branches at different places of the Som / Suala trees for uniform distribution.

The worms start eating from the margin of soft leaves. They eat up the midrib and even the petiole of the leaf during the last two instars. When they have stripped the tree of

GI Journal No. 52 32 October 30, 2013 foliage, the worms make a mass exit down the trunk. They are collected and placed on another tree. When ready to spin their cocoons, these caterpillars once again exit the tree where they were feeding.

5 layings may be a reared in a full grown Som / Sualu tree and about 200 cocoons may be harvested in one crop.

About 300 Som / Sualu Plants may be planted in one acre (about 3 bighas) of land with a spacing of 3m x 3m. In these plantations about 900 laying of Muga worm can be reared in one crop easily. Such, major crop for producing reeling cocoons may be taken up twice a year during April-May (till mid-June) and September-October (up to middle of November).

The golden-yellow Silk produced by Anrheraea assama is found only m the Brahmaputra Valley of India. This species of silkworm is semi-domesticated in that the rearers collect the worms, which crawl down at the end of their larval period. They are allowed to spin cocoons in the rearer's houses.

The Muga worm is fed on the leaves of food plants, particularly on Som (Machilus odoratissama) and Soalu (Teranthera monopetala). A Som or Soalu tree is considered fit for rearing of silkworms only after it is four year old. The Muga silkworm gives five broods a year corresponding to the different seasons, "katiya" (autumn crop),"jarua"

GI Journal No. 52 33 October 30, 2013 (winter crop), "jethua" (summer crop), "aherua" (early monsoon crop), and bhadia (late monsoon crop).

The bulk of the cocoons come from the autumn crop that is considered more prolific than other crops. A single female moth of Muga lays 150-200 eggs after copulating with the male for 6-8 hrs. Usually, the female is tied to a 'kharika' for laying eggs. Such kharikas are hung on a frame in the house. When the eggs hatch on the eighth day during summer, the tiny worms along with kharika are suspended on the twigs of a young tree, inaccessible to ants and other insects. Soon these grubs begin to crawl on the leaves and feed on them. The Muga worms moult four times before they mature, and select their own food according to their stages of growth. A tree will feed 1,000-1,500 worms at time. If during the rearing their leafy food is exhausted, the worms' crawls down the trunk. The rearer puts a coil of straw rope or a band of plantain leaves around to tree to serve as a barrier. The rearer promptly gathers them, puts them on a triangular bamboo sieve and suspends it on another tree. After the last moult, the worms feed with great voracity and begin to grow rapidly. Unlike other wild worms, when they mature Muga worms crawl down the tree during the night. The watching rearers pick them on a bundle of dry leafy twigs called “Jali”.

The worms are moved inside the hutments when they begin to spin. The cocoon is completed within three to eight days. After the worms pupate and cocoon formation is complete, the cocoons are removed from the jali (cocoonage), The best cocoons are sorted out and kept apart as seed cocoons for further propagation and the rest are stifled to kill the inside pupae. The cocoons are dried in the sun for a few days and stored for reeling. Muga rearing is a very risky job. A vigilant watch us kept by the rearers while the worms feed on trees. The worms' chief enemies are ants, wasps, hornets, birds and the house sparrows. A kind of wasp known as, dinkana is most deadly. For protection against pests, a straw band smeared with a lot of sand or ash is tied around the tree at a height of about three feet.

The cocoon has a very weak peduncle and is golden-yellow. The cocoons are boiled in soap and soda solution and are reeled directly on an appliance called "bhir". The fibre is isolated from the silkworm cocoons. A major portion of the cocoon viz. the pupae is wasted after extraction of the fibre. Pupae constitute about 60% of the dry cocoon weight. The pupae are composed of proteins. fats and lipids. It is expected that a large quantity of dry pupae will be available every year. Besides dry pupae, de fanned cocoons stained cocoons; dead pupae etc. are also available as bio waste from sericulture industry among others. The waste and damaged pupae and stained cocoons are the two main sources of protein. Silkworm pupae have 30% fat and 50% protein. It is a tradition in Assam to raise Muga silk.

Optimum Temperature and humidity requirement:

Different activities require certain range of temperature and humidity to complete the life cycles of Muga silk worms as furnished below

GI Journal No. 52 34 October 30, 2013 SI.No. Muga Different Stages / Summer Temp.˚C Winter % humidity activities 1 Incubation of eggs 25 - 26 80 - 85 2 Larval stage 24 - 26 75 - 80 3 Spinning of cocoon 24 - 25 75 - 80 4 Storage of seed cocoon / 25 - 28 70 - 80 emergence 5 Pairing of moths 25 - 28 75 - 80

Stages of production of manufactured goods:

1. Degumming of fibre with alkali extracted from seeded banana tree (Bheem kol) typical to Asom as well as with commercial alkali 2. Hand Reeling 3. Winding 4. Warping 5. Weaving

Similar to treatment of other silks.

Starching: The Muga Silk 'warp ' yarn in hank form is treated with starch of "Sagu" or "Maida" for strengthening and smoothing the yarn.

Winding: This is the process where the starched Muga Silk yarn is transferred on to the bobbins.

Warping: Warping is the process where the warp ends are wound on to the weaving beam so as to facilitate the weaving process. The yarn from bobbins are taken in sections and wound on to the warping beam as per required numbers of threads.

Weaving: At weaving both warp and weft interlacement takes place. The yam from the warp beam is drawn through the heals and reels in two sheets and between the two sheets weft yarn is introduced. At the weaving stage for designed or decorative Mekhela - Chadar or Sarees the border, body and the pallu / Achal are decorated as per requirements.

Starching of fabric: As per the requirement of users of Muga Silk fabric the starch of 'Sagu' or 'Maida' is applied on the fabric during weaving to get the finishing.

GI Journal No. 52 35 October 30, 2013 Drying: The fabric after weaving a definite length is cut away from the loom and kept under the strong sun light for drying.

Finishing: The fabric after drying is folded and kept under heavy weight for 24 to 48 hours instead of ironing.

J) Uniqueness:

"Muga" is a purely Assamese word that represents a particular natural colour like Golden Yellow or Brown. As this Silk is Golden Yellow it was named as "Muga Silk".

Muga is popular for its natural colour of spun gold, glossy texture and durability. The gold colour and shine of a Muga textile increases with every wash, in sharp contrast to the natural law of decay of shine in fabrics with time. Muga possesses the highest tensile strength among all the natural textile fibers and is comfortable to wear in both summer and winter. Muga is also believed to have medicinal properties and is apparently used as a skin whitener.

"Muga silkworms (Antheraea assama) are found only in the state of Assam and feed on 'som' (Machilius bombycina) and 'soalu' (Litsaea polyantha), producing an unusual lustrous golden-yellow, attractive and strong silk….. It has the monopoly of world production of golden-yellow Muga silk"

 Color stability (everlasting)  Golden colour and shine increases with each wash  Tensile Strength (4.53g/dn); strongest amongst all silks  UV Absorption capacity (>80%)  Durability (over 50 years)  Acid resistant (resistant to concentrated Sulfuric acid)  High iron content  Comfortable to wear both in summer and winter  Eco-friendly  Expensive.
