History ask game: 4, 5, and 10

Thank you so much for your ask!

4. Favourite historical era?

Well, it depends.

To study: It's definitely the Mughal empire, and recently the Delhi Sultanate. I love learning the story of "minor characters" of the historical narratives like Rukn al-Din Firuz, Mirza Kamran, Sultan Parwez, Faizi etc. I love reading primary sources, Juzjani's Tabaqat i-Nasiri for Delhi Sultanate, Ain i Akbari and Muntakhabu-t Tawarikh for Mughal and making memes on them.

To live: Neanderthal period. Just the right amount of peace, culture and community feeling.

5. Favourite weapon?

Okay, I'll be honest, I know very less about military technology. But those Mughal daggers seem very aesthetic to me. Although, I think, pen is the greatest weapon out there, because diplomacy > military

10. Pieces of art ( paintings, sculpures, lithographies, ect.) related to history you like most ( post an image of them)

I actually love the medieval era (a broad time period) so I'll put a painting and one sculpture. The painting is a Mughal portrait of Sultan Parwez Mirza, second son of Jahangir. I love the colour composition and the soft expression that perfectly suits the filial son he was. The sculpture is of Varuna as a dikpala of Rajarani temple, Odisha. It looks even better in front of eyes. Honorable mention, Ajanta-Ellora. I visited there last year and it is stunning! (Indian architecture is really amazing)

Thanks again for your ask!

A friend came to visit Picasso when he was making a pictue.

He was so lost in his work that the friend thought it best not to disturb him. When the painting was put up for sale the friend bought it, it was worth millions of rupees. One day he took the painting along with him when he visited Picasso and asked him to authenticate it.

Many fake copies were sold in the market as Picasso's own works, but this one the friend had seen him paint with his own eyes. Picasso replied, "I have made it all right, but it is not genuine." The friend was puzzled, for an authentic painting according to him was one that the painter paints himself. "It is authentic," explained Picasso, "in the sense that I have made it, but it is inauthentic insofar as it is only a reflection of my earlier paintings. I was copying my own style. The creator in me was not present at the time."

"What do you mean by the creator in you?" asked the friend.

"I am the creator when I make a unique painting, when I am totally original."

Therefore poets, painters, sculptors are closest to God when they produce something really original; they are as near God as a saint of devotee. A sculptor carving the images at the caves at Ajanta or Elona was as close to God when he created these as even Buddha was.

Whenever you create something that is not a copy, not an imitation, there is no prayer that is greater.

culture of India

India, often referred to as the land of diversity, is a cultural kaleidoscope that has fascinated and enchanted people from across the globe for centuries. Its rich heritage, traditions, languages, art forms, and cuisines reflect a civilization that has evolved over millennia, leaving an indelible mark on the world. In this blog, we embark on a journey to unravel the multifaceted culture ,culture of India delving into its historical roots, religious practices, artistic expressions, and modern-day manifestations.

Historical Background:

The cultural history of India can be traced back to ancient times, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Stone Age. The subcontinent has witnessed the rise and fall of numerous civilizations, including the Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished around 3300 BCE. Subsequent waves of migration and settlement by various ethnic groups, including Aryans, Dravidians, Greeks, Persians, and Mongols, contributed to the diversity of India's cultural landscape.

Religious Diversity:

India is the birthplace of major religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, and has also been a melting pot of diverse faiths, including Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism. The religious tolerance and syncretism prevalent in India have resulted in a vibrant tapestry of rituals, festivals, and spiritual practices that coexist harmoniously. From the grand celebrations of Diwali and Eid to the solemnity of Buddhist retreats and Sikh gurdwaras, religion permeates every aspect of Indian life, shaping its customs, beliefs, and social structures.

Art and Architecture:

Indian art and architecture are renowned for their intricacy, symbolism, and spiritual significance. The ancient rock-cut temples of Ajanta and Ellora, the majestic forts and palaces of Rajasthan, and the exquisite carvings of temples in Khajuraho are testaments to India's rich architectural heritage. The country's artistic traditions encompass a wide array of mediums, including painting, sculpture, pottery, textiles, and performing arts such as dance, music, and theater. Classical dance forms like Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi, and Kuchipudi, with their roots in mythology and spirituality, continue to captivate audiences worldwide with their grace and elegance.

Cuisien:

Indian cuisine is as diverse as its culture, with each region boasting its own unique flavors, ingredients, and cooking techniques. From the fiery curries of the south to the aromatic biryanis of the north, Indian food is a gastronomic delight that tantalizes the taste buds with its rich spices and bold flavors. Staples like rice, wheat, lentils, and vegetables form the foundation of Indian meals, which are often accompanied by chutneys, pickles, and dairy products like yogurt and paneer. Street food is also a ubiquitous part of Indian culinary

culture, offering a tantalizing array of snacks and sweets that cater to every palate.

Literature and Language:

India has a rich literary tradition dating back thousands of years, with ancient texts like the Vedas, Upanishads, and epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata shaping the cultural consciousness of the nation. Sanskrit, the classical language of ancient India, has been the vehicle for some of the world's most profound philosophical and literary works. Over the centuries, regional languages like Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, and Punjabi have flourished, producing a wealth of literature in poetry, prose, and drama. The Indian diaspora has also made significant contributions to world literature, with writers like Salman Rushdie, Arundhati Roy, and Jhumpa Lahiri garnering international acclaim for their works.

Modern Cultural Expressions:

While India's cultural heritage is deeply rooted in tradition and history, it is also a dynamic and evolving entity that continues to adapt and innovate in response to changing times. The advent of globalization, urbanization, and technology has ushered in new forms of cultural expression, from Bollywood films and indie music to contemporary art and fashion. Social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube have provided a platform for young Indian artists, musicians, and influencers to showcase their talents and connect with audiences around the world. Despite the challenges of modernization, India remains proud of its cultural heritage, embracing both tradition and innovation in equal measure.

Conclusion: India's cultural tapestry is a testament to the resilience, creativity, and diversity of its people. Across the length and breadth of the subcontinent, from the snow-capped Himalayas to the sun-drenched beaches of Kerala, the spirit of India's cultural heritage continues to thrive, enriching the lives of millions and inspiring generations to come. As we celebrate the vibrant mosaic of traditions, languages, and customs that make up the fabric of Indian society, let us also recognize the importance of preserving and safeguarding this invaluable legacy for future generations to cherish and embrace.

Lingli actually means White Jasmine in Chinese.

Jasmine has symbolic meanings in the Chinese culture. This flower is not only the symbol of forever love but also one of the holy flowers of Buddhism. For example, the crown of the Buddhist in the Ajanta wall paintings, a world heritage site, is decorated by golden jasmine flowers. The fragrance of jasmines is thought to be of heaven.

It also means clever, quick-witted and bright.

Preservation and Destruction

These images are from an early Western attempt to approach the historical origins of Buddhism and Jainism. Included in the many colored plates in this book are depictions of paintings in the caves of Ajanta in India. Though he may be credited in preserving the images through reproductions like these, the book’s author, James Bird (a medical missionary to India) is also reported to have peeled off and removed one or more paintings on a visit 20 years prior, destroying them in the process.

Bird, James. Historical researches on the origin and principles of the Bauddha and Jaina religions : embracing the leading tenets of their system, as found prevailing in various countries; illustrated by descriptive accounts of the sculptures in the caves of western India, with translations of the inscriptions of Kanari, Karli, Ajanta, Ellora, Nasik, &c. which indicate their connexion with the coins and topes of the Panjab and Afghanistan. Bombay: Printed at the American Mission Press, 1847.

Would you be able to do a summary or do you have resources for periods/schools of Indian art?

Hi there I think Partha Mitter's books cover a lot of art schools in colonial India (Bengal, Bombay, Company paintings etc). I also found a youtube link.

I used to use Benoy Behl's book for Ajanta paintings, I see he has a youtube channel.

I think the Met had made available some of Stuart Cary Welch's books on Indian miniature paintings.

There is obviously a lot more but I think for the lay reader these give a fairly good overview. To be honest, I only look at the material from a costume perspective rather than art.

Day 7

July 15th, 2023

Hello from Aurangabad! My name is Scott, and I’m excited to give you all a glimpse into what has been (in my opinion) one of the best days of our trip so far! After hearing so many good things about the Ajanta Caves (a World Heritage Site) and the village visit we’d be going on today, we were all excited to hop onto the bus to go, even if it was at 7:30 AM! On our way to our first stop, the Ajanta Caves, we got to meet with and hear a bit from our amazing guide, Amod. For the rest of the 2+ hour drive, some of us took the opportunity to catch up on some sleep, while others worked on some assignments and took in the scenery!

After a bumpy (but fun) ride, we were given a celebrity’s welcome to the Ajanta Caves! Dozens of shopkeepers spotted us from our bus and gathered around, trying to sell us trinkets like Buddha statues and magnets. After our time in the limelight, we were all ready to explore our first stop!

The Ajanta Caves were like nothing I’d ever seen before. As our guide explained, the dozens of caves were actually monoliths carved out of the hills around the site many centuries ago. We all enjoyed learning more about Buddhism and seeing the intricate carvings and paintings throughout the site.

Once our guide had finished walking us through many of the caves and explaining their contexts, meanings, and significance, we set off for some free-time adventures around the site. Some of us took the opportunity to try some fresh pineapple treats, while others (including me) speed-hiked to the top of a hill we saw nearby, where we were able to see a pagoda and waterfall! Even though it started pouring on us as soon as we got to the top, we all still had a great time.

After grabbing a quick lunch, we headed off toward the village of Paal! A little while (and one impromptu roadside goat-adjacent bathroom break) later, we arrived at our destination! This visit may have been one of the craziest experiences of my entire life. When we arrived at the village temple, there were only a few people around who began speaking with our group, but after a while, dozens of adults and children gathered around to see the new arrivals. We had the opportunity to hear from village leaders about aspects of local life such as governance and religion, enter the local temple, hear some children practice their English, watch monkeys jump around (and throw coconuts at some of us), and be photographed by and with locals so many times. A journalist even showed up and began recording us on his phone! Walking (or in some cases motorcycling) back to our bus, we interacted with the local residents even more and cherished the opportunity to see life from their perspectives for a short period of time. Needless to say, we all enjoyed the experience and were a bit sad to be leaving so soon.

Later in the evening, we arrived back at the Lemon Tree and went our separate ways. Some of us grabbed dinner at the hotel restaurant, while others ordered food, napped, and continued our classwork. We are all a bit tired, but are very happy to have had such a nice day and excited to see what’s in store for our last day in Aurangabad tomorrow!

Good night from India!

Bandhani Sarees The India's Most Popular Authentic Clothes Category The name "Bandhani," often spelt "Bandhej," refers to a technique mostly practised in Gujarat and Rajasthan. It is derived from the Sanskrit word "bandha," which means "to bind." It is presently highly fashionable in the mainstream. The Khatri people in Gujarat, India's rural areas, used this tie-and-dye technique first in the sixth century. According to historians, Banabhatt's Harshacharita wore the first Bandhani saree at a royal wedding. A traditional form of art is bandhani. Archives from the Indus Valley Civilization are the first to mention this method of fingernail-plucking the fabric and knotting it before dying.

Bandhani's testimony can be seen in Buddhist paintings at the famed Ajanta caves.
