Of that heritage, the display of paintings accompanied by comments recited or sung has been a part since very early times, as attested by references and legends in Sanskrit sources, including the Harṣacarita, a 7th-century work by Bāṇabhaṭṭa. Known as paṭacitras or paṭas in short, these illustrated narratives on rectangular fabric or paper as well as on scrolls are a type of performed art that reaches out to audiences, mostly rural, conveying the artists’ responses to legends and social themes of common knowledge across a wide range of audiences from varied social and cultural bases. A particularly powerful class of such paintings that come from the Bengali-speaking region of eastern India comprise the depiction of events from the Rāmāyaṇa in the form of scrolls that are unrolled as the painter displays and explicates them. The vividly colourful images presented in this book occupy a special niche in the history of Indian art, remarkable because they are not only visual objects but narrative expositions of a text that has been part of the lives of vast numbers of the Indian people and often their source of moral guidance. Especially remarkable is that these paṭas by Bengali folk painters diverge so often from the magisterial Rāmāyaṇas of ādikavi (“First Poet”) Vālmīki, leaving out important parts of it and importing into the Rāma saga episodes from local narrative caches. Following conventions of both art and storytelling as they do, these portrayals constitute what is now recognised as the tradition of counter-Rāmāyaṇas that embodies alternative alignments of ethical judgment.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41119760547883,"sku":"","price":636.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/RAMAYANA.jpg?v=1719037503"},{"product_id":"khajuraho-by-devangana-desai-hardcover-old","title":"KHAJURAHO  BY DEVANGANA DESAI (HARDCOVER) OLD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCelebrated for its majestic sculptures and temples built by the Chandella rulers between the tenth and twelfth centuries, Khajuraho is popularly linked with with erotic sculpture.

His wide and varied experience started with secret tutelage away from the disapproving eye of a wrestler as father. His earlier gurus were Pandit Raja Ram who taught him the basics of classical vocal music and Pandit Bhola Natha Prasanna from whom he got his first lessons in classical music on the flute. As composer at AIR Cuttack and Bombay, he was his own guru. His obsessive hours of riyaaz or practice of classical music combined with path-breaking participation in film music orchestration brought a new dimension to film music composition, as also individually later in the field of thematic music. But it was his tutelage under the reclusive, demanding, strict disciplinarian, Annapurna Devi that marked the future for Hariprasad Chourasia as a musician who has revolutionized the flute idiom and given it new classical dimensions. She is the daughter of the famed Baba Ustad Alauddin Khan of the Senia Gharana, a musical inheritance that created her brother, Ali Akbar Khan's magical instrumentation on the sarod, and the incomparable exuberance and scholarship of Ravi Shankar on the sitar. Her own expertise with a rare instrument like the surba-haar, with her first and one public performance alone became the stuff that legends are made of.

The very geographical location of Sikkim constrained it from proactively interacting with the mainstream. Communication remained a major hurdle for many years. Some institutions and people always seemed to believe that the conscious, enlightened and widely exposed citizenry of Sikkim would have been a threat to their very existence. However, situation started changing in mid 1990s when the Government led by the present Chief Minister Pawan Chamling was formed. The primary basis for this new formation was to reestablish democratic practices in the state, provide the basic freedom to the people including from fear, poverty and insecurity and to give wider choices to the people of Sikkim. The fast changing atmosphere in the country particularly in terms of the economic reforms, liberalization and privatization added vigorously to the efforts made by the state government. In other words, the new government wanted to change the entire parameters of integration of Sikkim with the mainstream India. The government decided to bring the best of knowledge, technology, investment, institution and development partners from across the world to make people of Sikkim both outward looking and most competitive.

The author provides his readers with subtle anecdotes of his own experiences and utilises them to guide his readers into lead a peaceful and contented life. His writing is inspirational and encourages the reader to introspect and look for one's real self. Kher encourages the reader to look at life in a positive manner and to use that positivity to counter all the negative forces in one's life. Today, people are gripped under the stress of daily life and feel insecure, frustrated and unhappy due to the pressures of work and other routines. But Kher recommends optimism as the cure for all of these problems. He cites his own humble upbringing to demonstrate how it is not impossible to reach great heights, even if one's resources are few. One need not be born with a silver spoon in one's mouth in order to attain success. However, he also sounds a warning bell to those who may be overcome with success and lose their way. He says that it is important to remain humble and gracious no matter how high one has reached.

In making Bharata Natyam his profession, Dhananjayan had to create a space for his dance where none existed.

The country’s periphery, however, is dotted with sleepy towns and desolate villages whose people, simply by having more in common with citizens of neighbouring nations than with their own, have to prove their Indian identity every day.It is these specks on the country’s map that Pradeep Damodaran rediscovers as he travels across India’s borders for a little more than a year, experiencing life in far-flung areas that rarely feature in mainstream conversations. In Borderlands, he recounts his encounters with the war-weary fishermen of Dhanushkodi at the southernmost tip of Tamil Nadu, who live in fear both of the Indian Coast Guard and the Sri Lankan navy; farmers in Hussainiwala, a village on Punjab’s border with Pakistan, who are unwilling to build concrete houses for fear of them being destroyed in the ever looming war. Tamil traders of Moreh, a town straddling the Manipur Myanmar border, who pay bribes to at least ten different militant organizations so they can safely conduct their business; and ex-servicemen in Campbell Bay who were resettled there three generations ago and have long been forgotten by the mainland.From Minicoy in Lakshadweep to Taki in West Bengal, Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh to Raxaul in Bihar, Damodaran’s compelling narrative reinforces the idea that, in India, a land of contrasts and contradictions, beauty and diversity, conflict comes in many forms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41136765403179,"sku":"","price":520.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/9.jpg?v=1721214829"},{"product_id":"raja-ravi-varma-the-colossus-of-painting-by-dr-prabhakaran-hebbar-illath-hardcover-1","title":"RAJA RAVI VARMA : THE COLOSSUS OF PAINTING BY DR.

The primary sources attempts to present the artistic heritage of his ancestors followed by his own innovations known as Muraqqas in miniature painting which stand out as rare specimens of Mughal painting in the entire range of art history. Jahangir, who has been depicted as a great campaigner of wars, was also an avowed lover of natural phenomena as also famous naturalist lover of Mughal art. What excelled all others styles of his reign was aspect of sophistication and refinement which characterize the miniatures, muraqqas produced in Jahangir's atelier.It was based on detailed analytical study of the trends and tendencies patronised by him. Jahangir devoted enough time to the study and enjoyment of painting during his stay at Lahore which became a hub of artistic activity. It was here that most significant manuscripts were illustrated. Many noted artists worked at Lahore kingdom. Lahore became the second capital of the Mughal empire from where radiated art, culture, language and literature throughout India.He was a man of wide literary taste, having intense love for poetry, music, history, geography, architecture, painting and fine arts.
