Monsoons and the Meghalayan Knup: A Story of Resilience.

The ‘knup’ (pronounced ka-noop), a Khasi rain shield that is an essential part of the daily lives of the locals of Meghalaya, especially during monsoons. ‘Knup’ has been around for many decades and has survived because of its utilitarian purposes. The tool features in many traditional khasi agricultural folksongs as well as tales and legends.

.

Imagine stepping out into the paddy fields, the knup resting comfortably on your head. It's like an inverted teardrop, covering you from head to ankle. Your hands are free to sow seeds or harvest crops, unburdened by the need to hold an umbrella. The design is so clever that the water channels down and away from you, thanks to the underlying bamboo weave.

.

While traditional materials like palm leaves and bamboo have their charm, modern versions of the knup incorporate plastic sheets and even tarpaulin. Broom grass is another fascinating material; it's soaked, flattened, and dried to make it stronger and more resilient against the torrential downpours.

.

In a nutshell, the knup is more than just a tool; it's a cultural treasure, a testament to the Khasi people's deep understanding of their environment. It's practicality and poetry, woven together in palm leaves and bamboo, telling a story of a community's harmonious coexistence with nature.

.

The monsoon season is almost over, and this is the last month for you to see the Knups in action!

😍WALL DECOR LOVE😍 www.CraftBecho.com This article of lippan art is an original design, specially handmade to keep alive the authenticity of the artform. Size: 12 inches diameter approx. Base: MDF Board The artwork is made using clay, mirrors, and acrylic colors that make it water resistant. It can be dusted off using a dry brush or cloth and the mirrors can be wiped with a wet cloth. This is a self replicating wall hanging and thus comes unframed. #mirror #mirrorwork #lippankaam #lippanartwork #lippanart #mandalapassion #mandalalove #handmade #homedecorating #homedecor #homedecoration #indiamade #vocalforlocalindia #shopsmallbusiness #localhandmade #localhandicrafts #mudmirrorwork #craftbecho #givingwingstoyourideas #traditionalart #traditionaldecor #indianhomedecor #walldecor https://www.instagram.com/p/CeTUz-flcru/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Exciting day in the Fes Medina. As I approached the 4th or 5th view into the University, There was Tina Whitmore! We knew we were overlapping in Morocco but didn’t know we would actually overlap. Several hugs and photos later we went off behind our guides. Other thing also seen. #knitweardesigner #knittersoftheworld #jillleavesthehouse #localcolor #localhandicraft #travelinspiration #knitspiration #whatinspiresyou #youneverknow https://www.instagram.com/p/B3GtkbbpSYZ/?igshid=1q2ibtk9xkuqa
