Are the forts and palaces of Rajasthan still alive?

Palaces of Rajasthan still alive So what do you think?  This question is for every individual who has ever visited a monument, a fort, a tomb, or a palace. Did you ever felt the energy of people who lived there once?  Well, I did! This is back in 2019 when I went on a family trip. Whenever I had leaves I use to travel with my friends but this time I wanted to bring that charm back of traveling with the family. Just like the good old childhood days.  Usually, when I go on travel I am the one who does all the planning but this time I had a controller 😊 "My father" with whom I had to share every intricate detail of the trip. Sometimes it was fun and at times exhausting. Hope you know what I mean!! So Rajasthan here I come! It was my first time visiting someplace that was so magnificent with an amazing history. The itinerary had places like Jaipur, Jodhpur, Merta, Pushkar, and Ajmer.  The first place was Jaipur and the first monument that I saw was Amber/Amer...

The holy attire of Uttarakhandi Women of India! "Pichora"

The holy attire of Uttarakhandi Women  "Pichhaura"   is a notable traditional attire of Kumaoni women generally worn for "religious" occasions, marriage, and other rituals. Traditionally handmade, using vegetable dyes, Pichhauras are usually in red and saffron color. Local designs made in Almora, Haldwani, and other parts of Kumaon use silk fabric and accessories made of pearl. Pichhaura is not just a piece of cloth but is considered sanctified, in Kumaoni Hindu traditions. There are images of God and other pious religious symbols.  As time is passing by the traditional attire is changing in the name of fashion. Some business companies have started producing products such as masks, purses/potlies, thali covers, and daily wear stoles. In the future, you may see people wearing Pichhaura style, trousers, sarees, suits, and skirts. How much do you think this is reasonable? When asked with the company the reason for producing such products the answer was. It is meant for...

"Aipan"- A ritualistic folk art of Uttarakhand

Are you feeling bored  of this quarantine  ?? Try the   "Aipan" folk art of Uttarakhand (India) Aipan , as I call it the art of prosperity was something I use to make   before the Diwali festival. Since I was on extended leaves and there was nowhere to go due to the pandemic, I thought of spending some time with me and my wandering thoughts. I looked at my "Deheli "(Dehliz) with Aipan stickers which reflected the fast pace of our pre-covid life. I then picked up my brush 🖌️ and started painting and it was a complete therapy. Nowadays people try mandala art for relaxation. I believe in past this process would've been great therapy for the ladies as it requires a lot of patience, concentration and creativity. Although this is something we all are striving for nowadays still we don't do it because of our busy schedule. A piece of advice:-  If you are free but have s busy mind just try to do something which you loved doing in childhood or was a part of your t...
