D. Lesson Proper

(Discuss the Diwali, Kathak, Mehndi and Rangoli

by the use of pictures and videos.) (20 minutes)

Handicrafts play very important role in

representing the culture and traditions of any
country or region. Handicrafts are a substantial
medium to preserve of rich traditional art,
heritage and culture, traditional skills and
talents which are associated with people’s
lifestyle and history. For this lesson you will
discover the different arts and crafts of India as
well as its characteristics.

RANGOLI is an art form, originating in the Indian

subcontinent, in which patterns are created on
the floor or the ground using materials such as
coloured rice, coloured sand, quartz powder,
flower petals, and coloured rocks. The purpose
of rangoli is to feel strength, generosity, and it is
thought to bring good luck. Design depictions
may also vary as they reflect traditions, folklore,
and practices that are unique to each area.
Rangoli designs can be simple geometric
shapes, deity impressions, or flower and petal
shapes (appropriate for the given celebrations),
but they can also be very elaborate designs
crafted by numerous people. The Rangoli's most
important element is being colourful. These are
auspicious symbols that have a central role in
the design. The design for generations are
passed on as they are made – and is required to
make these symbols. Traditionally, each new
generation learns the art and thus a family
keeps the tradition intact. The term Rangoli is
composed of two words: rang meaning ‘color’
and ‘aavalli’ meaning ‘colored creepers’ or ‘row
of colors’. Designs vary as they are reflections of
unique traditons and practices of each area and
this practice is usually showcased in celebration
of milestones like marriage, festivals, etc.
Traditionally, Rangoli designs are done by
women.

DIWALI CANDLE is a diya,diyo,deya, divaa,

deepa, deepam, or deepak is an oil lamp usually
made from clay, with a cotton wick dipped in
ghee or vegetable oils. in terms of the choice of
material, the kiln fired earthenware lamps
followed by the metallic lamps with multiple
wicks, mostly of brass known as Samai, are the
most common, though other materials are also
used such as patravali floatin lamp made from
leaves or permanent lamps made of stones.In
terms of wick design, lamps with one wick are
most common followed by the four wick
styles.In terms of overall lamps design, the
ornamental lamps come in various designs. The
iconic Nachiarkoil lamp, also known as "Annam
lamp.

Diwali or Divali, is one of the main religious

festivals in Hinduism. It lasts for five days from
the 13th day of the dark half of the lunar month
Ashvina to the second day of the light half of
Karttika, which in the Gregorian calendar is in
late October and November. Diwali is derived
from the Sanskrit word dipavali, which means
“row of lights,” which can be lit at the new-
moon night to ask the presence of Lakshmi, the
goddess of wealth so each family burns diwali
clay lamps (diyas) to light the way for the
goddess. The festival generally symbolizes the
victory of light over darkness. In Bengal,
however, the goddess Kali is worshipped, and in
north India, the festival also celebrates Rama’s
(along with Sita, Lakshmana, and Hanuman)
return to the town of Ayodhya after defeating
Ravana, the 10-headeking of the demons,
where Rama’s rule of righteousness
commences. In South India, the festival marks
Krishna’s defeat of the demon Narakasura.
Some celebrate Diwali as a commemoration of
the marriage of Lakshmi and Vishnu, while
others observe it as the birthday of Lakshmi. It
is considered as the most beautiful of all Indian
festivals, a celebration of lights. All this
illumination and fireworks, joy and festivity,
signify the victory of divine forces over those of
wicked.

MEHNDI is a form of body art and temporary

skin decoration common in the Indian
Subcontinent, in which decorative designs are
created on a person's body, using a paste,
created from the powdered dry leaves of the
henna plant Each motif it is believed to bring
hope, joy, love and keep the bad spirits way.
Most people believe that the longer the henna
pattern lasts, the life care the person
wearing it will be. The base of the design is a
circle, square or rectangular element. From the
central element, the artists’ work out
surrounding designs and patterns. Distinctive
characteristic of the Indian patterns is that a
large portion of the skin is covered with very
little space left. Also, it is important to note that
the designs can be mirrored or complementary.

It is usually done for celebrations and special

occasions, particularly weddings. Design is
painted on a person’s body using a paste that
was created from the powdered dry leaves of
the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis) a small
shrub found in the hot climates of India,
Pakistan, and Middle Eastern countries. It
remains a famous form of body art among
women. Henna is applied on their hands and
feet and sometimes on the back of their
shoulders, where the design will be clearest due
to contrast with the lighter skin on these
surfaces. Alta, Alata, or Mahur is a purple dye
used in addition to Henna to color the toes of
the brides in a few areas of India. For men,
however, it is applied on their arms, legs, back,
and chest.

KATHAK is one of the main forms of classical

dance-drama of India, other major ones being
bharata natyam, kathakali, manipuri, kuchipudi,
and odissi. Kathak is indigenous to northern
India and developed under the influence of both
Hindu and Muslim cultures. Kathak is
characterized by intricate footwork and precise
rhythmic patterns that the dancer articulates by
controlling about 100 ankle bells. It takes its
movements from life, stylizes them, and adds
the complex rhythmic patterns. Kathak is
danced by both males and females; many of the
dances convey moods of love.

The word ‘kathak’ comes from ‘katha’ which

means ‘story’. Of the eight classical dance forms
in India, Kathak is the only one that comes from
the northen part of India and developed under
the influence of both Hindu and Muslim
cultures. It is characterized by complex
footwork and precise rhythmic patterns that the
dancers articulated. It had its origin as a folk
dance where Kathak dancers (both male and
female) moved from one village to another
telling stories of what they had seen and passed
on information from one segment of society to
another. Usually, many of the dances convey
moods of love.
