DESCRIPTION: 

In the village of Takht Hazara, the musically gifted Deedho Ranjha struggles against family and society. He rejects the pursuit of wealth and power as the measure of a man’s worth. In distant Jhang, the spirited Heer Syal is an accomplished warrior who fearlessly challenges the norms of her community. Heer and Ranjha are destined to meet and fall in love—the former chastised for her ‘manly’ pursuits and the latter ridiculed for his lack thereof.Told from multiple perspectives, set against the lush riverbanks and rugged countryside of West Punjab, this is a wise, passionate and lyrical retelling of one of the subcontinent’s most beloved epics. A rich cast of characters—Kaido Langra, Jhang’s seemingly pious conscience-keeper; Malki, the mother of a daughter she cannot understand; Seida Khera, Heer’s hapless fiancé; a silent, watchful crow; a flock of excitable pigeons who bear witness and a philosophical goat—all play their part in bringing this stirring story to life

Description:

In Search of Sticks simultaneously challenges the intellect while surfacing raw emotional response. James, by the standards one generally uses to measure a life, is accomplished. Still, he twists. What if, in the final analysis, it ends up being as much about that which wasn't done rather than just what was acted upon? Paths are chosen. Steps are taken.
A compelling parallel story unfolds - Hope's African existence. It was emphatically stated that "God does not have favourites." But is this true? A picture is painted and its canvas is littered with the likenesses of disease and poverty and the images of those trapped in the geography of violence. Despite the forms of tragedy that present themselves, this story is full of hope. The victories are told in the small tales and the sheer numbers who do not sell their souls.

This genre of paintings on cotton cloth is found in West Bengal, Orissa and Tamil Nadu and have been known for their originality, uniqueness and fineness. Images such as one in the above painting on the battle of Kurukshetra that is considered a battle for dharma (religion) is created on the cotton cloth using wax resist method. This huge painting could be very useful for wall hanging because of its bi size. The chariot, Lord Krishna, who is riding the chariot and his associate Arjun and the horses have been treated in a most majestic manner. In the battle of Kurukshetra a war was raised between the forces of evil (Kaurab) and the forces of truth (Pandav) whereas the Lord Krishna takes side of the Pandavas. Indeed a most gracious painting.

Amir Khusrau, one of the greatest poets of medieval India, helped forge a distinctive synthesis of Muslim and Hindu cultures. Written in Persian and Hindavi, his poems and ghazals were appreciated across a cosmopolitan Persianate world that stretched from Turkey to Bengal. Having thrived for centuries, Khusrau’s poetry continues to be read and recited to this day. In the Bazaar of Love is the first comprehensive selection of Khusrau’s work, offering new translations of mystical and romantic poems and fresh renditions of old favourites. Covering a wide range of genres and forms, it evokes the magic of one of the best-loved poets of the Indian subcontinent.

Description

-

The beautiful Madhubani painting depicts four gracious ladies going to the garden in order to pluck flowers. A mixture of variegated colours, the painting reveals the beauty of nature. Simplicity overcomes any artistic excellence as the women artists of Mithila paint the products that are close to their hearts. Mundane lives get the upper hand and the creativity is sidelined.

The beautiful Madhubani painting is given a detail treatment by the women painters of Mithila. The huge tree at the centre of the painting is surrounded by a number of animal and human figures. Madhubani paintings are practised by the female artists of Mithila in Bihar and they use natural colours and powders to create beautiful paintings on cotton clothes. Normally natural motifs and gods and goddesses from Hindu pantheon are decorated with beautiful colours and lines.
