Random headcanon
In my fic universes, I HC that Sindhi (southeastern Western Continent) culture is closely related to elven culture since they're geographically close. So elven food is actually quite similar to Sindhi food in many ways, although they've also assimilated many cultural elements from the Eastern side of the world (Northern, Eastern, Southern continents) which Sindh has not assimilated since it's had less contact with the East.
So the main difference between Sindhi food and elven food is that most of the spices only grow in the Western Continent, so the elves have to import all of them, which makes the spices expensive... So over thousands of years elven cuisine has evolved to use less spice, and elves consider it a sign of their culture being superior and "more sophisticated."
"Only uncivilized barbarians need that much spice! They're just trying to hide the low quality of their other ingredients by drowning all their food in spice."
So I imagine that a lot of elven food is basically real-world Indian food if you removed 50% of the flavor 😂

The Wondrous Child
The Wondrous Child:  Alakananda Ma's 2023 New Year's Letter
 The child shall enjoy all the rights set forth in this Declaration. Every child, without any exception whatsoever, shall be entitled to these rights, without distinction or discrimination on account of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, whether of himself or of his family.
 The child shall enjoy special protection, and shall be given opportunities and facilities, by law and by other means, to enable him to develop physically, mentally, morally, spiritually and socially in a healthy and normal manner and in conditions of freedom and dignity.
UN Declaration on the Rights of the Child.
 At this time of year, millions around the world are turning their thoughts to a child born in Bethlehem. In churches on every continent, Isaiah’s messianic prophecy is read,
“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. Unto them that dwell in the land of deep shadow, a light has shone. For a child has been born for us, a son is given to us, and the government shall be upon his shoulder. And this is the name they shall give him, wondrous counselor, mighty God, everlasting father, prince of peace.”
 For some, the wondrous child is still to come, as Messiah or as Imam Mahdi. For some, he is Krishna, born again and again whenever righteousness grows weak and unrighteousness prevails. And for those who celebrate Christmas, the wondrous child was born in a stable in Bethlehem and heralded by angels who proclaimed peace on earth and good will to all.
But in our Aquarian age, in the age of the collective, who is this wondrous child, the prince of peace?   Who is the one who brings light in a dark time?
 Dear sisters and brothers, today the wondrous child shivers in the Arctic air in Matamoros, just south of the US border. The wondrous child drowns, attempting to cross the icy English Channel in a flimsy boat.  The one-year-old prince of peace dies of hunger and thirst in a small boat off the coast of Libya.
 Today, the wondrous child is wet and cold in a flooded camp in Northern Syria. The wondrous child huddles in a bomb shelter in Kiev. The wondrous child is sold into marriage in Afghanistan, because her parents cannot afford to feed her. The wondrous child suffers from severe acute malnutrition in Mali.  The wondrous child, fleeing drought, lives in a makeshift shelter in Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya.  
 The wondrous child has seen her classmates killed in Robb Elementary School. The wondrous child, who wanted to be an inventor and prayed to the God of Rainbows, is murdered by security forces in Iran. The prince of peace, protesting at Al Aqsa mosque, is detained by Israeli security forces.
 The wondrous child is cold and hungry on Pine Ridge Reservation. The wondrous child goes to school hungry in rural Louisiana. The wondrous child goes to bed hungry in Nagada village, Odisha. The Rohingya prince of peace has no school to go to in Cox’s Bazaar camp. The wondrous child in Sindh faces a winter of cold with no home left, after this year’s cataclysmic floods.
 Seventy-four years have passed since one of humanity’s greatest achievements, the promulgation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; sixty-three since the UN adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. Since that time, we have made incredible technological advances, yet these advances have not been matched by progress in the area of human rights. Countless children, not only in poor nations but even in the richest country in the world, are effectively deprived of their basic rights.
 Where does the power lie to change this? It lies with us, We the People of the world. It is we to whom these rights belong, we who are their guardians, we who are the ultimate protectors of each and every child. As we celebrate a new year in the hope that a child will be born for us who will turn darkness into light, let us remember that every child is the prince or princess of peace. If any child is robbed of the right to life, liberty and security, if any child does not receive the food, housing, nurturance and education necessary to fulfill their potential, it is not only they who are deprived. The world is robbed, the future is robbed, of all they have to offer. Make a special resolution for 2023. Resolve to get up, stand up, stand up for children’s rights.
 Dear ones, this year’s Pakistan flood emergency was the single most devastating climate catastrophe to date. Its scale is almost unimaginable, and the misery caused has no end in sight.  Countless families have not only lost their homes, loved ones, livestock and belongings, they have also lost their fields, their livelihoods, their communities and their stores of food. They face a winter of cold, hunger and misery. Despite having done nothing to contribute to the climate crisis, they are its foremost victims. Please join me in supporting the children of Pakistan at this crucial time.
 I wish you a year of happiness and joy, and may peace and justice prevail throughout our world.
Blessings,
Alakananda Ma

Ajrakh Print Sarees: History And Significance
Tumblr media
Emerging in Gujarat's Kutch region, Ajrakh print sarees are a form of traditional block-printed material. These sarees feature stunning geometric designs created through an elegant layering technique using natural dyes. Blue, white, red, and black are the basic colors used in Ajrakh printing, yet other colors can be seen as well.
Ajrakh print sarees have a nearly three thousand year history, making them one of the most valuable styles to date. Ajrakh sarees were traditionally worn by men and women from Gujarat's Maldhari community, who were largely concerned with cattle keeping and agriculture. However, these sarees have gained popularity among individuals from many walks of life and are now worn on a variety of occasions such as weddings, festivals, and formal functions.
Key Takeaways
Ajrakh print sarees are a type of traditional block-printed textile that originated in Gujarat's Kutch region.
The beautiful geometric designs on these sarees are made by an elegant layering technique using natural dyes.
Ajrakh print sarees have a nearly three thousand year history, making them one of the most valuable fashions to date.
History of Ajrakh Print
Origin
Ajrakh print is a unique style of block printing that emerged from Sindh, Pakistan, and the Kutch district of India. The name 'Ajrakh' is derived from the Arabic term 'Azrak,' which means blue. Ajrakh has a long history, and it is thought that the Mohenjo-daro people introduced printing to the Indus Valley Civilization.
The Ajrakh print is famous for its designs and patterns created with hand-carved wooden blocks. The designs are frequently influenced by nature and contain elements such as flowers, foliage, and geometric forms. The colors used in Ajrakh prints are sourced from natural dyes derived from plants, minerals, and other natural sources.
Evolution
Over time, the Ajrakh print became an essential element of Sindh and Kutch cultural heritage. The printing process was handed down from generation to generation, and each family created their own printing style. Originally employed to construct shawls, the Ajrakh print has since been utilized to manufacture sarees, dupattas, and other clothing items.
Mughal Emperor Akbar was delighted by the beauty of Ajrakh prints in the 16th century and summoned the artisans to his court. The Mughal court patronized the artisans and bestowed the title of 'Chhipa' on them. Some of the designs utilized in Ajrakh prints show Mughal influence.
Significance of Ajrakh Print
Ajrakh print is a sign of Sindhi culture and traditions, and it is an important element of the region's heritage.
The significance of Ajrakh print lies not only in its elegant designs but also in the complex and arduous procedure that goes into manufacturing it. The materials go through several stages of resist dyeing for different shades, and the process might require up to 21 days to complete. The substances used in the process are all natural and environmentally benign, making Ajrakh print an eco-friendly solution.
Ajrakh print is also popular in nearby areas of India such as Gujarat due to the impact of the Indus Valley civilization. Because of their distinct style and detailed patterns, the prints have received international acclaim. The smoothness of the fabric, as well as its jewel-like look, make it a prized item. Ajrakh is claimed to represent the Universe, and the prints are said to have mystical characteristics. Ajrakh print colors have distinct significance, and each pattern has a tale behind it. The designs are frequently used in traditional apparel, including sarees, shawls, and dupattas, as well as home decor items like cushion covers and tablecloths.
In conclusion, Ajrakh print is more than just a type of block printing; it is a symbol of the region's rich culture and heritage. It is a one-of-a-kind and prized item due to its intricate designs, eco-friendly techniques, and mystical characteristics.
Ajrakh print sarees are now popular all over the world. The printing technique has essentially remained intact over the years. The artisans still use natural dyes and hand-carved wooden blocks to create intricate designs. The Ajrakh print is a sign of Sindh and Kutch's rich cultural past, and it remains an important part of their culture.
