The story of rama from Valmiki's Epic Ramayana has been often retold with variations, and several versions of it exist in india and other Asian countreis. This story of dasharatha, the father of Lord Rama, is largely based on the legendary epic of Valmiki.

Ravana, the rakshasa king of Lanka, had performed severe penances and obtained a boon from Brahma. No celestial being,be it a yaksha, a gandharva or deva, could kill him. Armed with this boon. he invaded amaravati, the city of the devas, and wrecked havoc among its inhabitants. Distressed, they appealed to Lord Vishnu.

On earth, at that time, Dasaratha, the prosperous, wise and just king of Ayodhya, was engaged in performing a series of sacrifices in order to obtain a son. To help the devas, Vishnu decided to manifest himself on earth and destroy Ravana, since Brahma's boon did not protect Ravana from mortal men. He chose to be born as four sons to the three queens of Dasharatha. As Dasharatha delighted in his growing sons, particularly in Rama, the eldest, little did he dream that a curse hurled at him in his youth would result in separation from his beloved Rama.

Description:

Dashavatar is a collection of ten spell-binding stories for children. In each of the narratives, the world is on the brink of collapse, entrenched in vice and sin, when the Lord decides to intervene and rescue it. He takes on a variety of forms, sometimes splendorous, at other times disarmingly humble. From Matsya avatar, where Vishnu assumes the shape of a fish, to Vamana avatar, where he shrinks in size, from Krishna avatar, where he becomes the Blue One, the eternal flutist, to Kalki, the future, where he will ride astride a horse and reinstate justice, each of the stories speaks of the Lord’s benevolence, and the triumph of good over evil.

The ten incarnations of Vishnu have been nicely executed in the hanging bell with some sparkling characteristics of brass sculpture. Hanging bells are common feature in every Hindu temple and these are hung at the entrance of the temple. It is a ritual for the disciples whosoever pays a visit to the temple to ring the bell. The bell reflects some delicate carvings on it apart from carving out ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu, viz., Matsya (Fish), Kurma (Tortoise), Varaha (Boar), Narasimha, Vamana, Parasurama, Ram, Krishna, Buddha, Kalki. The long chain also reflects greater degree of smoothness.

The beautiful Patachitra painting depicts the ten incarnations of Vishnu. The Puranas speak of the ten avataars of Vishnu. These incarnations detail the divine help given by Vishnu during various stages of human evolution, by appearing on earth in different forms to salvage the devotees from the impending catastrophe. These incarnations demonstrate that divinity re-establishes Dharma or righteousness and destroys injustice from time to time, by appearing on earth in various incarnations. The ten avataras are Matsyavatara (fish), Koorma (tortoise), Varaaha (boar), Narasimha (the man lion), Vaamana (the dwarf), Parasurama (the angry man), Rama (the perfect human), Balarama and Krishna (the divine statesman). The 10th avatar which is yet to appear is Kalki. Matsyavatara, or the form of the fish was taken up by Vishnu during a deluge that submerged the earth. Vishnu commanded a rishi to gather together samples of all species and wait in a boat. The gigantic golden fish then dragged the boat through the deluge and then enabled Bhrama to start the act of creation all over again. Yet another legend has it that a demon once stole the four Vedas and hid them under the sea. Vishnu assumed the Matsya form and retrieved them and then restored them to their original fragrance. This legend is held at the Parimalaranganathar temple at Mayiladuturai, near Thanjavur The Koorma Avatara where Vishnu took the form of a tortoise, is described in the legend of the celestial nectar Amrita. Vishnu took the form of a wild boar - the Varaaha Avatara, dived into the ocean, and saved Bhoomi Devi who sank into the bottom of the ocean, with his massive snout. Vishnu as Varahamurthy is enshrined at Tiruvidandai near Chennai, and at the Kanchipuram Kamakshiamman temple. In his Narasimhaavataaram, Vishnu destroyed the demon king Hiranyakashipu and demonstrated his omnipresence in a powerful way. Vishnu took the form of Vamana the midget to destroy the demon Bali. He visited Bali during a sacrifice where the latter was arrogantly distributing gifts of the seeker's choice, to show his power of wealth. Vamana meekly asked for three feet of land measured by his small feet. All on a sudden he assumed the massive form of Trivikrama, dominating the universe; with his first foot he covered the earth, with the second the heavens. When there was no room for the third, Bali, who never went back on his word, offered his head, and Vishnu sent him to the netherworld. Trivikrama is enshrined at Tirukkovilur, Kanchipuram and Sirkazhi in Tamilnadu. Vishnu then took up the form of Parasurama, to quell the arrogance of the Kshatriya rulers who harmed the sages and unprotected mortals. The Ramayana speaks of the glory of the Rama Avatar, and the Mahabharata speaks of Balarama and Krishna.Some schools of thought believe that Krishna was the eighth incarnation of Vishnu and the ninth was Buddha and that Vishnu took up the avataar of Buddha to purify Hinduism of excessive ritualism. He preached detachment, and the middle path consisting of eight fold virtues of right views, right resolve, right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfullness and right meditation.It is believed that at the end of the current epoch, there will be a deluge when Kalki - the tenth and the last avatara of Vishnu, will ride forth on a horse to redeem humankind and re-establish righteousness.The painting reveals some sparkling lines and application of colours in the traditional Pata framework.

प्रख्यात हिन्दी कवि हरिवंशराय ‘बच्चन’ की आत्मकथा का पहला खंड, ‘‘क्या भूलूँ क्या याद करूँ’’, जब 1969 में प्रकाशित हुआ तब हिन्दी साहित्य में मानो हलचल-सी मच गई। यह हलचल 1935 में प्रकाशित ‘‘मधुशाला’’ से किसी भी प्रकार कम नहीं थी। अनेक समकालीन लेखकों ने इसे हिन्दी के इतिहास की ऐसी पहली घटना बताया जब अपने बारे में इतनी बेबाक़ी से सब कुछ कह देने का साहस किसी ने दिखाया। इसके बाद आत्मकथा के आगामी खंडों की बेताबी से प्रतीक्षा की जाने लगी और उन सभी का ज़ोरदार स्वागत होता रहा। प्रथम खंड ‘‘क्या भूलूँ क्या याद करूँ’’ के बाद ‘‘नीड़ का निर्माण फिर’’, ‘‘बसेरे से दूर’’ और ‘‘‘दशद्वार’ से ‘सोपान’ तक’’ लगभग पंद्रह वर्षों में इसके चार खंड प्रकाशित हुए। बच्चन की यह कृति आत्मकथा साहित्य की चरम परिणति है और इसकी गणना कालजयी रचनाओं में की जाती है।

The art silk black crinkled stole is delicately designed with some superb embroidery. The stole is light and elegant and a perfect match for any lady’s suit. The silk border makes the stole looks good and any the stole is a perfect mixture of traditional outlook and modern trendy style. The stole looks awesome with light coloured suit like white, light green and light red.
