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.

    Revisiting the Timeless Folklore of Chamba

    MEJO, Vol. 5, Feb. 2021 Revisiting the Timeless Folklore of Chamba Dr. Kuldeep R. Sharma Asst. Professor, Department of English, Govt. Degree College Bhalei, Chamba, H.P. Abstract Folklore reflects human experiences by and large through folk songs and dances, art and architecture, legends, paintings, poetry, riddles and children’s songs etc. The permanence of the Folklore of any country, community or tribe can be analyzed in its universal themes of love, hate, revenge, morality, ethics, sacrifice and honesty with respect to conditioning of time and space. Folklore of District Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, is a phenomenal amalgamation of the vernaculars: Pangwali, Gaddi, Dogri, Pahari and Churahi that weave human experiences to form a phenomenally different fabric of culture and history in the country. The paper discusses the intensity of passionate love, cult of human sacrifice, gender, environmental concerns and other social and cultural dimensions in the selected legends and folk songs of Chamba accentuating its timelessness. The famous legends and perennial folksongs and ballads, particularly Kunju Chanchlo, Sunni Bhunku, Queen Sunaina, and Fulmo Ranjho would be the centre of deliberation. The paper on the one hand brings out the permanence and universality of Chambiali folklore in shaping and protecting the history and cultural identity of the natives and the need of its exploration and maintenance in globalised world on the other. Chamba is hemmed in by Jammu and Kashmir, including Ladakh, on the North West, by district Kangra of Himachal Pradesh on the southeast , and by Gurdaspur district of Punjab on the south. Because of its altitude, ranging from 2,000 to 21,000 feet above sea level and physical inaccessibility with difficult terrain, the territory remained largely insulated from the socio- political life of the country.

    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.

The first look on approach, above the green contoured carpet towards a housing cluster, is uplifting. The town of Chamba is situated on the eastern bank of river Ravi in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It rises up the hill like a temple spire, all shine and piercing the sky. Though man has found habitation on all possible locations both sides of the river, on mountain tops and plateaus, the hubbub is in the centre. The town owes its name to Champavati, daughter of Raja Sahil Varman, the founder king. The town was laid in 920 A.D. and since then the exquisite embroidery of city life has grown tremendously. River Ravi meanders in this huge valley, as if the mountain and river are engaged in a romantic ballet, steps rising and falling rhythmically. Sometimes they come dangerously close to each other, at others fall back with the music, never for once disengaging from clasp. The numerous plateaus visible on the western mountains of the valley are green running spaces, delightfully flat. The deep gorges created by two such plateaus fall straight to the rounded rocks and pebbles of the riverbed. The palace of Chamba rulers, though shorn of regality, is still the Envious greens...

Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting and pressing fibers together. Textile Museum is that specialized category of museum which primarily preserves different types of textile and textile products. Indian textile enjoys a rich heritage and the origin of textiles in India traces back to the Indus valley Civilization where people used homespun cotton for weaving their clothes. Rigveda, the earliest of the Veda contains the literary information about textiles and it refers to weaving. Ramayana and Mahabharata, the eminent Indian epics depict the existence of wide variety of fabrics in ancient India. These epics refer both to rich and stylized garment worn by the aristocrats and ordinary simple clothes worn by the common people.

    MAHARAJA RANJIT SINGH, COURT, AND CULTURE: JRSP, Vol. 58, No 2 (April-June 2021) Khola Cheema* Tohid Ahmad** MAHARAJA RANJIT SINGH, COURT, AND CULTURE OF LAHORE DARBAR Abstract The study of the court and culture in Lahore Darbar under Maharaja Ranjit Singh is the primary purpose of this paper. Maharaja Ranjit Singh created an environment of peace and stability, resulting in the making of Lahore ‘center of cultural activities’. Another objective of this paper is to explore the significant developments in all domains of art and culture, and especially the impact of various religious traditions on the court and culture of Lahore Darbar. The overall development and new themes in Art, Painting, crafts, industries, luxury carpet waving, metalwork, astrological instruments, textile, vessel, gardens, and monuments are analyzed in this paper. A historical, analytical, and descriptive approach is adopted. Key Words: Ranjit Singh, Sikhs, Punjab, Court, Culture After becoming Maharaja of Punjab, Ranjit Singh provided an environment that permitted and encouraged the growth of the whole state’s cultural life. However, this aspect of his administration is not highlighted much because of his other essential and dominant characteristics. The most important thing in this respect was that Maharaja provided complete peace and harmony to the region from foreign invaders and eliminated internal chaos. That environment was essentially needed to encourage overall cultural activities, cultural development, and industrial growth in the region. Harmonious co-existence and patronage, provided by Maharaja to all communities and followers of every religion, took ‘Sikh art’ beyond the inflexible limitations. Hence Sikh Art & Culture can be seen as having much variety in its themes, inspirations, styles, methods, and techniques.

Its hill state of Himanchal Pradesh has a legacy of many art techniques and the townships of Guler, Basohli, Kangra, Chamba, and Mandi are the main art schools here. Other than rich pictorial art of murals and miniatures, it has many other art forms to its credit, but the picturesque Chamba Rumal stands unparalleled. The vivacity, vividness and precision of this needle art make it so close to the Pahadi miniatures and murals that it appears to be their transcript on the fabric. Because of this resemblance, it is also known as “Needle Painting”. This household origin art was normally done on the domestic articles, i.e. Rumal (Coverlet), Cap (joji), Hand Fan, Choli (blouse) etc. Among these, Rumal got a special place in the world and became popular by the name of ‘Chamba Rumal’. The folk nature of this art got new dimension as a classical form with the royal patronage. Here the technique was drawn from the folk style, but the motifs were of the Pahadi paintings.
