DESCRIPTION: 

‘सौ पहाड़ चढ़ लिये मैंने, हज़ारों मील चला हूँ मैं लाखों जीवन जी लिए कैलाश तक पहुँचने के लिए जो कैलाश की तरफ़ पहला कदम उठाते हैं वे जानते हैं कि न तो यह केवल तीर्थयात्रा है, न ही यह रोमांच का सफ़र है। कैलाश का संसार ऐसा है कि वहाँ हर व्यक्ति को अलग-अलग अनुभव होते हैं। मेरे लिए यह प्रकृति की अदम्यता पर अपनी सीमाओं को परखने और कुछ अवाक् कर देने वाला देखने की थी। लेकिन कैलाश ने केवल अवाक् नहीं किया एक दर्शन भी जगा दिया। कैलाश के निकट पहुँच कर आप समय की अनंतता के परिप्रेक्ष्य में जीवन के सार को समझना आरंभ कर देते हैं। अपनी इस यात्रा के कितने ही सूक्ष्म अनुभवों को तो मैं शब्द ही नहीं दे सकूँगी, लेकिन मेरा प्रयास रहा है कि मैं बाह्य यात्रा के साथ अपने अंतस की यात्रा को भी शब्द दे सकूँ। मैं यही कहूँगी कैलाश तीर्थयात्रा नहीं यह स्वयं से साक्षात्कार की और प्रकृति से तादात्म्य की यात्रा है। सोने में सुहागा तो तब हो कि यह पुस्तक अन्य कैलाश-परिक्रमा की वांछा करने वालों के लिए पथ-प्रदर्शक साबित हो।’’ - मनीषा कुलश्रेष्ठ मनीषा कुलश्रेष्ठ हिन्दी साहित्य की सुपरिचित लेखिका हैं जिनके अब तक सात कहानी-संग्रह और पाँच उपन्यास प्रकाशित हो चुके हैं। मल्लिका उनका सबसे नवीनतम उपन्यास है, जिसे आलोचकों और पाठकों, दोनों की बहुत प्रशंसा मिली है।

DESCRIPTION: 

The Hooghly, a distributary of the Ganges flowing south to the Bay of Bengal, is now little-known outside of India. Yet for centuries it was a river of truly global significance, attracting merchants, missionaries, mercenaries, statesmen, labourers and others from Europe, Asia and beyond. Hooghly seeks to restore the waterway to the heart of global history. Focusing in turn on the role of and competition between those who struggled to control the river - the Portuguese, the Mughals, the Dutch, the French and finally the British, who built their imperial capital, Calcutta, on its banks - the author considers how the Hooghly was integrated into global networks of encounter and exchange, and the dramatic consequences that ensued.Travelling up and down the river, Robert Ivermee explores themes of enduring concern, among them the dynamics of modern capitalism and the power of large corporations; migration and human trafficking; the role of new technologies in revolutionizing social relations; and the human impact on the natural world. The Hooghly's global history, he concludes, may offer lessons for India as it emerges as a world superpower

The beautiful brass figure cast in the ancient Dhokra style is given a refine and detail touch with a deep sense of accomplishment. A horse is depicted moving on wheels. Horses played a key role in ancient India. For many societies, it was the prime mode of transportation. Dhokra is an ancient style of crafting brass figures using the traditional lost wax method. A model is sculpted of clay and dried in the sun; it is then covered with beeswax and more clay, forming a mold. The piece is cast, cleaned and again dried in the sun. Finally, it is heated in the ground for five days and polished.

Description

“The King” is an exquisite Dhokra sculpture from the ensemble of ancient tribal metal art from Central India. The sculpture has been crafted out of Brass Alloy and depicts a proud regal male figure – the king - riding a healthy horse, happy to be the ride. The entire statue is engraved in a simple but engaging manner, underlining the international appeal of the Dhokra format.

In this simple yet artistic Dhokra candle holder, a man is riding the horse. Primitive simplicity, refinement and gracefulness make the candle holder a collector’s item. Even laymen and any other art lovers will love to have it. Dhokra metal casting uses lost wax method that was probably used by the Mohenjodaro craftsmen to cast the Bronze figurine of the Dancing girl around 4500 years ago. It is this unbroken tradition and bareness and the vitality of the art form that makes Dhokra art form a collector’s coveted item both in India and abroad for art lovers and laymen alike. The product of dhokra artisans are in great demand in domestic and foreign markets due to their primitive simplicity, enchanting folk motifs and forceful form.

The beautiful figure of Laughing Buddha, the Chinese God of good luck has been beautifully carved out of wood. He is stretching his both hands upward and the stout figure reflects some rare degree of smoothness and gracefulness. It is believed that if we keep the figure with us it brings good fortune to us. His clothes bear some good carvings and the God is wearing some garlands over his arms.

Hotei (literally meaning Calico Bag Arhat) is better known in the English-speaking world as the fat Laughing Buddha. Hotei is the interpretation of the Bodhisattva Maitreya, the predicted Buddha to succeed Gautama Buddha in the future. He has become incorporated into Buddhist and Shinto culture and is based on an eccentric Chinese Chan monk. Hotei persists in Japanese folklore as one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichi Fukujin).

The Laughing Buddha derives from the time of Sakyamuni Buddha, where there was a monk named Angida, whose name also meant calico bag. Angida was one of the original eighteen Arhats of Buddhism. According to legend, Angida was a talented Indian snake catcher. He used to catch venomous snakes to prevent them from biting passers-by. Due to his kindness, he was able to attain bodhi. Both Hotei and Angida have similar resemblences, as they both are obese, seen laughing and carrying a bag.

The image of Hotei is shown carrying a cloth or linen sack, which never empties, and is filled with many precious items. Sometimes it can be filled with children, as they are seen as some of those precious items of this world. His duty is patron of the weak, poor and children. In some scenes he may be found sitting on a cart drawn by boys, or wielding a fan called an oogi (said to be a "wish giving" fan -- in the distant past, this type of fan was used by the aristocracy to indicate to vassals that their requests would be granted).

The brass figure depicts a stout, smiling or laughing shaved man in robes with a largely exposed potbelly stomach that symbolizes happiness, good luck, and plenitude. The stomach is also considered the seat of the soul in Chinese mythology and so the large stomach can be taken as an allegory for Hotei's Open Heartedness. Some sculptures have small children at his feet. Another item that is usually seen with the Hotei figure, is a begging bowl; to represent his Buddhist nature. All of these images display Hotei as a wandering monk who goes around and takes the sadness from people of this world, in some ways parallel to the Christian Jesus. He most certainly is a loving and cheerful character, strikingly similar to Santa Claus in the West, and is a common statuette found in homes and businesses in China and Japan.
