Phulkari, literally translated as ‘flower’ (phul) and ‘work’ (kari), is used to describe several different styles of cloths historically made in the region of Punjab that today comprise the states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh in northern India, and the Punjab province of Pakistan including parts of Swat and Hazara. Within the hierarchy of phulkaris, baghs (literally ‘gardens’) were the most prestigious and precious. Created over many years to become family heirlooms, baghs were embroidered in silk floss covering the entire base khaddar (cotton) material. They were created by women within their own families, for wearing and presenting on auspicious religious occasions and as markers of significant life events such as marriages and births.

  • Traditional Handicrafts of Punjab Developed from Plant and Agro-Waste Materials
    DOI: 10.15740/HAS/AJHS/12.2/583-587 esearch aper e ISSN-0976-8351 Visit us: www.researchjournal.co.in R P AsianAJHS Journal of Home Science Volume 12 | Issue 2 | December, 2017 | 583-587 Traditional handicrafts of Punjab developed from plant and agro-waste materials LALITA RANI AND KANWALJIT BRAR Received: 14.07.2017; Revised: 05.11.2017; Accepted: 19.11.2017 ABSTRACT : Punjab has a rich tradition of arts and crafts. The traditional handicrafts of different types made from plant waste materials available in their vacinity were used in every household during the pre-independence period. Doaba and Majha were faster to adapt to the modern life style, while Malwa region with low literacy level continued with the traditional ways of life as well as craft making. But over the last two decades practice of handicraft making had sharp decline even in Malwa region. Thus, to document the valuable basketry craft, a sample of 180 respondents of rural women comprising of 60 women from each of the three selected districts of Malwa region namely, Ludhiana, Patiala and Bathinda, who had developed traditional handicrafts in their life-time was selected purposively. Older women were found to have made fifty or more traditional handicrafts from plant and agro-waste materials in their lifetime. All women used to carry out different activities of practicing craft in their leisure time such as spinning yarn on Charkha, weaving basketry products like Bohey/Chhikkoo, Katnee(s), etc. and embroidering the Phulkaris or baghs. The largest percentage of respondents (28.89%) had made Bohey/Chhikkoo followed by 19.45 per cent respondents who had made Chhabi(an) from plant and waste materials.

  • Wedding Ceremonies in Punjab
    JPS: 11:2 Myrvold: Wedding Ceremonies in Punjab Wedding Ceremonies in Punjab Kristina Myrvold Lund University ______________________________________________________ While the religious specificities of different religious communities are underscored, the paper focuses on the shared cultural values and symbols that frame marriage ceremonies in the Punjab. The study concludes with how ritual theories help us analyse these ceremonies and assess the impact of modernity on their nature and function. ______________________________________________________ Traditional cultural practices in a society do not fade away or disappear in the face of modernization, but rather these practices transform and even become revitalized. This is illustrated in the case of religious and cultural rituals that Punjabis perform in relation to different stages of life. Rites of passage refer to a genre of rituals that people perform at major events in life--like birth, puberty, marriage and death. These types of rites characteristically mark a person’s transition from one stage of social life to another. The authoritative traditions of the world religions have sanctioned and institutionalized their own life-cycle rituals, which the followers share across different cultural and geographical contexts. Historically, religious authorities have often displayed a keen interest in defining these rituals to mark religious boundaries. Several studies that detail how Hindus, Jains, Muslim, Sikh, and Christians celebrate the birth of a child, perform weddings, and handle death in different parts of the world. Similarly, in the Punjab the core ceremonies related to these life events are distinct for every religious community, but yet they are performed within a shared Punjabi culture. This paper focuses on marriage (viah), the most celebrated life event in Punjabi society.

    Message froM PRESIDENT Dear Rotaractors, Warm Rotaract Greetings from Rotaract Club of Thane North (RID 3142- India) We are glad sharing an editorial space with you and find great pleasure introducing the Traditional attire of our country. As you know India is a diverse country and has 29 states and 7 union territories. Every state has their own diverse language and traditional attire. We even have diversity in religion maximum people following Hinduism and the rest being Islam, Christianity and Sikhism; leave aside the other tribes which have their own traditional attire. Living in such a diversified country it is difficult to write about the entire traditional clothing, but here I will just try giving you a glimpse of the same. For men, traditional clothes are the Achkan/Sherwani, Bandhgala, Lungi, Kurta, Angarkha, Jama and Dhoti or Pajama. Additionally, recently pants and shirts have been accepted as traditional Indian dress by the Government of India. In India, women's clothing varies widely and is closely associated with the local culture, religion and climate. Traditional Indian clothing for women in the north and east are saris worn with choli tops; a long skirt called a lehenga or pavada worn with choli and a dupatta scarf to create an ensemble called a gagra choli; or salwar kameez suits, while many south Indian women traditionally wear sari and children wear pattu langa. Saris made out of silk are considered the most elegant. Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is one of India's fashion capitals. In many rural parts of India, traditional clothes is worn.

  • Sikh Women: Text, Sacred Stitches, Turban
    Vol. 5, no. 1 (2015), 35-51 | DOI: 10.18352/rg.10085 Seeking the Image of ‘Unmarked’ Sikh Women: Text, Sacred Stitches, Turban DORIS R. JAKOBSH* Abstract With the inauguration of the Khalsa in 1699 by the tenth guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, a new understanding of ‘being Sikh’ was put in place. In examining the earliest prescriptive texts of the Khalsa, manifestations of Sikh religio-cultural identity and visual distinctiveness were deeply connected to the male Sikh body. This study locates Sikh women within a number of these early ritual and textual ordinances while also exploring how Sikh female religio-cultural materiality is contradistinct to the normative Khalsa male body. The production of phulkaris, a form of embroidered head covering (but having other uses as well) was historically associated with Sikh women and are here examined as alternate forms of religious belonging, ritual production and devotion. This study concludes with an examination of how the turban, for a small number of diasporic Sikh women, can be understood both as a rejection of traditional Sikh female ideals, as well as a novel form of Sikh women’s identity construction that is closely aligned with Sikh masculine ideals. Keywords Sikhism/Sikhs and women; Sikhism/Sikhs and gender; religious identity construction; materiality; phulkaris; turbans. Author affiliation Doris R. Jakobsh is Associate Professor in the Department of Religious Studies, University of Waterloo in Canada and Associate Chair, Graduate Studies for the department. She has degrees from the University of Waterloo, Harvard University and the University of British Columbia and is the author of Relocating Gender in Sikh History: Transformation, Meaning and Identity, OUP (2003, 2005), and Sikhism, University of Hawaii Press (2011).
