#Thread. ‘Handlooms are so expensive’ lament women who splurge on fancy shoes but have price issues about Handloom. For #NationalHandloomDay, showcasing the #sutaluga, a pocket friendly weave of Odisha! #MyHandloomMyPride @TexMinIndia @HTH_Odisha @odisha_tourism @PiyushGoyal
Badabag in Jagatsinghpur district of #Odisha is home to the slightly coarse cotton single Ikat sarees known simply as #sutaluga meaning ‘cotton saree’ in Oriya. These sarees were once the daily wear sarees for most women in Odisha #MyHandloomMyPride @odisha_tourism @arunbothra
Even today, these sarees carry a modest price tag that ranges between 800 - 2000 rupees. Woven using extra weft motifs and single ikat borders and pallus, #sutaluga sarees are elegant and drape well. This is a typical sutaluga pallu. @odisha_tourism @arunbothra #MyHandloomMyPride
#Thread In the run-up to #HandloomDay day, will do a series on motifs. A motif is a symbolic image that is repeated to create a visual narrative. The word comes from the French word for pattern. Motifs used in Indian textiles are inspired by nature, and culture #MyHandloomMyPride
Motifs on Indian textiles are inspired by architecture, scriptures, religious beliefs, flaura n fauna n abstract patterns. Motifs tell a story. They serve a symbolic purpose that is beyond fashion. The trefoil motif seen on the priest king’s shawl from #harappa #MyHandloomMyPride
The peacock is one of the earliest motifs we see in Indian art. Found on Sindhu-Saraswati civilisation era pottery, the peacock is considered to be a symbol of immortality, courtship, rebirth, romantic love and fertility. #MyHandloomMyPride

#TokyoOlympics मध्ये भारतीय खेळाडूंना तिरंगा घेऊन चालतांना बघून केवळ मीच नाही, तर संपूर्ण देश रोमांचित झाला होता. त्याक्षणी, संपूर्ण देशाने जणू एकत्र येत, आपल्या या योद्ध्यांना म्हटले -
विजयी भव ! विजयी भव ! - @narendramodi @mannkibaat
विजयी भव ! विजयी भव ! - @narendramodi @mannkibaat
