Home décor: All things niche and natural

Home décor: All things niche and natural

It’s a prolonged winter in many parts of India and home becomes the comfort zone most of the time. The décor and accents that make your space also determine the calm you can afford when news of another pandemic threat do the rounds.

Me, half an hour ago: Hm. I'd like to give Daisy a surname for my 'verse! Maybe something Hindi-inspired, because Sarasaland is named after a sort of fabric originally imported from India, right? Lemme see…

Me now, fifteen tabs deep into the intricacies of caste and occupation and how they effect given and surnames in the Malayalam language: I have to get this right or God will smite me where I stand

On one hand i like the idea of westerners enjoying bollywood film on the other hand if any of them were to gain enough traction to get a fandom on tumblr, i just KNOW White American/European stannies would remove every single cultural context and sanitize/bash/flanderize them in ways you can not even comprehend

Foolish Bear, 84, left, and Drags Wolf, 75, came to New York on January 13, 1938 to recover from the Heye Foundation (Museum of the American Indian) two sacred skulls of thunderbird deities that they believed would end recent droughts in their native North Dakota. The men were members of the Water Buster or Midi Badi clan of the Hidatsa (Gros Ventre) tribe. This was the first known successful repatriation of Indian objects. They visited President Roosevelt on the way to New York.

Main, tum aur purani delhi

ये शहर नहीं महफिल है....

चेहरे पे सारे शहर के गर्द-ए-मलाल है

जो दिल का हाल है वही दिल्ली का हाल है

- मलिकज़ादा मंज़ूर अहमद

DELHI... It's not that easy to survive here, it's busy, it's bustling, it's full of all sorts of festivities and it's the home to drama.... A lot a lot of drama. But the beauty about this city is that you find comfort in chaos, you feel yourself to be the part of some historic machinery that never stops, never rests but makes you a part of it... It's something about it's streets, about the food here, about the people here that's so genuine and unique that makes you wonder sometimes..

So kisi din delhi aao toh purani delhi... Jaroor jana

SOUTH INDIAN TEMPLES--GOPURAM BLOG

Ancient and early medieval temples feature smaller gopuram, while in later temples they are a prominent feature of Hindu Dravidian style; in many cases the temple compound was expanded and new larger gopuram built along the new boundary. They are topped by the kalasam, a bulbous stone finial. They function as gateways through the walls that surround the temple complex. Another towering structure located towards the center of the temple is the Vimanam. Both of them are designed and constructed as per rules given in the texts of Vaastu shastra.

The gopuram's origins can be traced back to early structures of the Pallava kings, and relate to the central shikhara towers of North India. Between the twelfth and sixteenth century, during the Pandya, Nayaka and Vijayanagara era when Hindu temples increasingly became a hub of the urban life, these gateways became a dominant feature of a temple's outer appearance, eventually overshadowing the inner sanctuary which became obscured from view by the gopuram's colossal size and courtyards.[5] It also dominated the inner sanctum in amount of ornamentation. Often a shrine has more than one gopuram.[1] They also appear in architecture outside India, especially Khmer architecture, as at Angkor Wat.

Here are some of my pictures i had clicked and these structures were built far before..in BC period.
