In India gemstones have always had a special place in both religious and secular life. They were used for ritual and sacramental purposes, they represented protection against malevolent forces, and have healing powers. Beyond their monetary worth, which in many cases was considerable, they held cosmic and spiritual attributes. Little wonder, then, that there were a number of ancient Sanskrit texts devoted to the study of this subject, works like Ratnapariksha, Mani Mala, Brhat Samhita, the Garuda Purana.

Banaras Brocade, Brocade Weaving Tradition in India

The chief raw material for Banaras brocades was silk/yarns largely imported from various production centers like Bengal, Kashmir, Center Asia, China and even from Italy. Malda, a small town in north Bengal was the main supplying center of silk yarns for Banaras brocades.

           The next essential material was kalabattu, the gold and silver threads commonly known as zari. “If silk is the backbone of the industry, design is its structure and kalabattu is its life and soul. In olden days silver and gold wires of such extreme fineness were drawn that the entire fabric could be woven from them producing literally “a cloth of gold”. Fabrics from pure gold wires have long ceased to be made thought some exquisite specimens can be seen in old textiles preserved in a few collection. Pure gold wires were thus replaced by gilt silver thread. Later copper wires with a gold polish were also inducted. Kalabattu was a specially prepared there of silk with metallic mounting of gold, silver or gilded material. Surat was the chief zari-producing center and supplier of zari material for Banaras kimkhab. It was also extensively manufactured in Banaras itself. In a few cases zari was also imported from abroad.

God Ganesha: Lord of Success - the Hindu Elephant-Deity

One evening, Vishnu Ji appeared as a priest in front of Shiv Ji & Parvati Ji and requested them to let him be their son. Bemused, they gave their consent. The priest (Vishnu Ji) then transformed himself into a beautiful child, to the delight of the new found parents. On this happy occasion, all the gods came over to bless the new child, Vishnu Ji(himself) blessed him as a repository of knowledge, Brahma Ji blessed him with fame and to be the foremost god for worship & Lakshmi Ji blesses that she dwell wherever this child is adored. Similarly other Gods & Goddesses also blessed him with other qualities. This is the origin of Ganesh Ji.

According to another legend, Ganesh Ji was produced from the sweat of Parvati Ji who deputed him to guard the place when she wanted privacy while having a bath. When Shiv Ji arrived, Ganesh Ji did not allow him in, as he was unaware of the identity of Shiv Ji. This enraged Shiv Ji who cut off Ganesh Ji's head. When Parvati Ji discovered this and explained the truth to Shiv Ji, he felt sorry. Shiv Ji then ordered his attendants to bring head of any bay whose mother may be asleep. Attendants saw a baby elephant in such a position and brought its head which was then transplanted by Shiv Ji on Ganesh Ji's body. To forther console Parvati Ji, who was still in tears seeing an elephants head on her son's body, Brahma Ji announced that Ganesh Ji will have precedence over other gods in the matter of worship.

Home Interior Decorating Cotton linen bed sheet India Block Printing

A bed sheet is a large piece of cloth used to cover a mattress. It is this sheet that one typically lies on. In many areas of the world a second flat bed sheet is laid on top of the sheet covering the mattress. This is known as a "top sheet" and when a top sheet is used, the sheet covering the mattress is known as a "bottom sheet". One sleeps between the two bed sheets. Blankets, comforters, and other bed covers are then placed on top of the second bed sheet. The appliques of western India are generally large canopies and friezes used for celebrations or as animal trappings. Applique is both quicker and easier to work than embroidery and the articles are more hard-wearing. Applique in Gujarat is known as 'katab; (a word probably derived from the English ' cut-up') and usually takes the form of pieces of coloured fabric stitched on to a cotton ground. No examples of applique work survive from before the nineteenth century and it is thought that the technique was introduced into the area through trade contacts with either Europe or the Middle East. The Gujarat region was one of the great textile exporting areas of India. Textile patterns were usually applied by block printing, and evidence of Gujarat's block-printed wares have been excavated at Fostat, near Cairo, the oldest d nwhichhe ha have been dated as fifteenth century or earlier. These textile fragments are resist printed with unsophisticated yet pleasing designs typical of the hand-printed textiles of the region today.

Bedspreads or Bedcovers for Rustic look of Your Bedroom

Indian Bed Linen is available in a great variety of colors, texture and materials. Pure Cotton Bedspreads in block printed pattern come from Rajasthan. Lavish, single-stitch kantha work covers from Bengal are produced by generations of women in a family tradition, and are very expendsive. Phulkari bedspreads from Punjab are made in jolly colors which draw the eye.
The most conventional way of dressing a bed in India is wiht a kambal or razai. In Gujarat, women sit for hours laboriously making patchwork razais - quilts - with squares of printed, embossed or embroidered fabric in which gold and silver punctuate the color. In the rural region of Kutch, bedding is rolled up and stacked during the day and covered with a quilt or mirror-worked bedspread to make a prominent feature in the room.
