    Safeguarding the Intangible Cultural Heritage and Diverse Cultural Traditions of India”

    Scheme for “Safeguarding the Intangible Cultural Heritage and Diverse Cultural Traditions of India” Form for National Inventory Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage of India A. Name of the State WEST BENGAL B. Name of the Element/Cultural Tradition (in English) BENA B.1. Name of the element in the language and script of the community Concerned, if applicable 뇍যানা (Bengali) C. Name of the communities, groups or, if applicable, individuals concerned (Identify clearly either of these concerned with the practice of the said element/cultural tradition) The Bena is traditionally used by two communities - the Rajbongshis and the Meities of Manipur. The Rajbongshis are spread across North Bengal, western Assam, Meghalaya and eastern parts of Bihar and the neighbouring countries of Bangladesh and Nepal. The Meiteis of Manipur have a similar instrument which they call the Pena and it plays a very important role in their culture - accompanying many of their rituals and their folk music. It continues to play a much larger role in their lives than the Bena does among the Rajbongshis. D. Geographical location and range of the element/cultural tradition (Please write about the other states in which the said element/tradition is present ) The Bena is to be found in the northern districts of Cooch Behar and Jalpaiguri (which has recently been bifurcated into Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar districts) in West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Bihar and also neighbouring countries like Bangladesh and Nepal. The Bena is traditionally an integral part of a Rajbongshi folk theatre called Kushan. However the Kushan tradition prevails only in North Bengal, Bangladesh and Assam.

    Categorization of Stringed Instruments with Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis

    CATEGORIZATION OF STRINGED INSTRUMENTS WITH MULTIFRACTAL DETRENDED FLUCTUATION ANALYSIS Archi Banerjee*, Shankha Sanyal, Tarit Guhathakurata, Ranjan Sengupta and Dipak Ghosh Sir C.V. Raman Centre for Physics and Music Jadavpur University, Kolkata: 700032 *[email protected] * Corresponding Author ABSTRACT Categorization is crucial for content description in archiving of music signals. On many occasions, human brain fails to classify the instruments properly just by listening to their sounds which is evident from the human response data collected during our experiment. Some previous attempts to categorize several musical instruments using various linear analysis methods required a number of parameters to be determined. In this work, we attempted to categorize a number of string instruments according to their mode of playing using latest-state-of-the-art robust non-linear methods. For this, 30 second sound signals of 26 different string instruments from all over the world were analyzed with the help of non linear multifractal analysis (MFDFA) technique. The spectral width obtained from the MFDFA method gives an estimate of the complexity of the signal. From the variation of spectral width, we observed distinct clustering among the string instruments according to their mode of playing. Also there is an indication that similarity in the structural configuration of the instruments is playing a major role in the clustering of their spectral width. The observations and implications are discussed in detail. Keywords: String Instruments, Categorization, Fractal Analysis, MFDFA, Spectral Width INTRODUCTION Classification is one of the processes involved in audio content description. Audio signals can be classified according to miscellaneous criteria viz. speech, music, sound effects (or noises).

The Terracotta Temples of Baranagar in Murshidabad, West Bengal offer a very insightful vantage point in this regard. The elaborate works of terracotta on the facades of these temples patronized by Rani Bhabani during the mid-eighteenth century possess immense narrative potential to reconstruct the history of the area in the given time period. The portrayals on various facets of society, environment, culture, religion, mythology, and space and communication systems make these temples exemplary representatives for studying narrative art. While a significant portion of the temple facades depicts gods, goddesses, and mythological stories, the on-spot study also found a substantial number of plaques observed mainly on the base friezes representing the engagement of women in various mundane activities. This study explores the narrative intentions of such portrayals. The depictions incorporated are validated with various types of archival evidence facilitating cross-corroboration of the sources.

  • An Empirical Study on Tourists Interest Towards Archaeological Heritage Sites in West Bengal

    An Empirical Study on Tourists Interest Towards Archaeological Heritage Sites in West Bengal

    International Journal of Research ISSN NO:2236-6124 An Empirical Study on Tourists interest towards Archaeological Heritage Sites in West Bengal Dr. Santinath Sarkar Assistant Professor, Dept. Of Education, University of Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal. Pincode: 741235 ABSTRACT: Tourism as a modern term is applicable to both international and domestic tourists. Tourism aims to recognize importance of it in generating local employment both directly in the tourism sector and in various support and resource management sectors. West Bengal has improved its share in international tourism receipts during the course of past decade i.e. from about 3.36% in 2005 to about 5.88% in 2016 of foreign tourists visiting India. Archaeological heritage is a vital part of the tourism product and is one of the energetic factors that can develop the competitiveness of a tourism destination. Archaeological heritage tourism is one of the largest and fastest growing global tourism markets and it covers all aspects of travel that provide an opportunity for visitors to learn about other areas’ history, culture and life style. The present investigated the relationship between tourists’ satisfaction and the attributes of archaeological heritage destinations in West Bengal (WB). The area of the study at selected archaeological heritage destinations of West Bengal, which is located in eastern India and the data of this study have been collected from the on-site survey method at Victoria Memorial Hall, Belur Math, Chandannagar, Hazarduari, Shantiniketan, Bishnupur. These destinations are highly of the rich archaeological heritage of the State of West Bengal. The sample population for this study was composed of tourists who visited in these places in between December 2016 to January 2017.
  • Sanskritisation of Bengali, Plight of the Margin and the Forgotten Role of Tagore

    Sanskritisation of Bengali, Plight of the Margin and the Forgotten Role of Tagore

    Journal of the Department of English Vidyasagar University Vol. 11, 2013-2014 Sanskritisation of Bengali, Plight of the Margin and the Forgotten Role of Tagore Sandipan Sen It is well known that, after the victory of Lord Clive against Sirajuddaula at the battle of Plassey in 1757, there was an unprecedented reign of loot in Bengal, as the British presided over a drainage of wealth from Bengal. According to one estimate, apart from the “official compensation” to the British army and navy, the members of the Council of the British East India Company received an amount of L 50,000 to L 80,000 each, and Clive alone took away L 234,000 over and above a jaigir worth L 30,000 a year (Smith 473). This apart, most British men carried out a grand loot at individual levels, the extent of which is difficult to imagine. The magnitude of the loot can be estimated from the fact that Govind Chand, the descendant of Mahatab Chand - the Jagat Seth during the battle of Plassey who had a staggering annual income of Rs 26,800,000 in 1765 - was reduced to penury as a result of the loot, and the British rulers granted him a monthly dole of Rs 1200 (Sikdar 986). Needless to say, this grand loot completely destroyed the economic structure of Bengal, which was a prosperous and wealthy kingdom. However, it often eludes our attention that the arrival of the British not only destroyed the economy of Bengal, but also the language of Bengal, i.e. the Bengali language.
