The beautiful tribal mask is given a refine and detail treatment by the tribal sculptor. Masks are quite common in a tribal society as the people mock the cult figure on special ceremonies. The beautiful figure contains some exquisite carvings on it. This lovely work is crafted with the ancient dhokra technique, a laborious lost wax process practiced in Central India. First, 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 and the final figure comes out with some exquisite carvings.

Numerous images are cast in the dhokra tradition as artisans preserve their millenary culture, custom and belief through the wondrous pieces they create. Dhokra metal casting uses lost wax method that was probably used by the Mohenjodaro craftmen 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.

Pythagorean triples, like 3,4,5 have been a fascination for thousands of years. Now for the first time a simple elegant system, based on these triples, has been developed which reveals unexpected applications in many areas of pure and applied mathematics. These include general applications in trigonometry, coordinate geometry (in 2 and 3 dimensions), transformations (in 2 and 3 dimensions), simple harmonic motion, astronomy etc.

The easy triple method links these areas and replaces large numbers of apparently unconnected formulae with a single device.

This book fully explains the various applications and most of it should be accessible to anyone with the basic understanding of mathematics which a school leaver should have.

The three legendary satellite cities of Tripura form an enthralling tale of good and evil, power and defeat. The devas (God) and the asuras (demons or daityas) are stepbrothers. They are the progeny of Aditi and Diti, the wives of Sage Kashyapa. However, they are always at war. The Puranas contain innumerable accounts of their battles.

In this Amar Chitra Kath, the asuras propitiate the Gods to win favors, gain boons and become powerful. With Brahma’s blessing and under the divine architect Maya’s instruction, the asuras commission the grand construction of Tripura – three mobile cities: one on earth, one in the sky and one in the heavens. However, when the asuras begin to misuse the power they gain, they become engaged in a ferocious battle with the devas, the very same Gods they had propitiated.

This title on the Tripura episode is based on material drawn from the Shiva and Matsya Puranas.
