The innovative charm, application, demand, philosophy, relevance, and character of this industry are what make it extraordinary.One District One Product (ODOP), the state government's vision, is regarded as a groundbreaking attempt towards acknowledging the genuine potential of a district based on the strengths of a district and national priorities. indigenous knowledge of its crafts person, rural entrepreneurship, employability for their livelihood, and showcasing each district on a global platform to fuel economic growth and preserve their sustainable textiles and crafts forms. This initiative would also help in preserving and developing local crafts and skills in terms of artistic packaging and branding. The production of exclusive gifts and souvenirs would get a direct connection with boosting tourism.We have attempted to highlight the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) that rural craftsmen must contend with in this essay. Researchers, organizations, and the government sector may utilize this SWOT to help this region grow to support and promote weavers and other craftspeople. The insight of this paper focuses on the commercial and ecological tools equipment and other resources used by the aboriginal artisans. The ambition of this paper aims to provide an understanding of the potential handloom and crafts commercial sectors in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, where an increasing number of ODOP producers and craftsmen have affiliated themselves with e-commerce platforms and benefit from it as they can sell their products directly to the consumers thus eliminating the role of middlemen. This paper will help the preservation of craft people’s resources and its move towards sustainability and revival through modernization and publicity. The sector holds great potential and can generate numerous jobs for weavers and artisans.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":"27 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141345719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"COMMUNITY RADIO BROADCASTING: REGAINING THE LOST FAITH AND AUTHENTICITY OF RADIO BROADCASTING IN INDIA","authors":"Lokesh Sharma, Anjali Gupta","doi":"10.29121/shodhkosh.v5.i1.2024.932","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29121/shodhkosh.v5.i1.2024.932","url":null,"abstract":"The debacle of conventional broadcast media, in spanning and drawing the local communities has stimulated the mandate of Community Broadcasting. Through the times, communal media has risen as a feasible alternative option to the conventional and recognized media. A highly sought-after kind of civic broadcasting is the ‘Community Radio’, and it is fervently utilized and functioned in a community, intended for the community and by members of the community. As the public service broadcaster in India, All India Radio offers the best radio programming. Nowadays, private FM radio stations are considered to be second-tier. The third tier, community radio, promises to be the most accessible. The reach of community radio in India has significantly increased over the past 20 years. In the country today, there are more than 350 active community radio stations, the majority of which serve rural areas. In community radio, the creators of information and communications are from resident communities and delineate local worries and unease through constant involvement which makes it trustworthy and authentic. The public services broadcasting has been questioned over the issues of authenticity as it is recognised as the mouthpiece of government whereas commercial and entertainment-related concerns dominate the private FM Radio. Community radio uses its own distinctive idioms and terminology to inform, educate and engage the community using a low cost, low return model of operation. This paper investigates how the community radio has emerged as an authentic and trustworthy medium of communication in the contemporary broadcasting services. The foremost and widely recognised community radio station in the Indian state of Rajasthan, Apno Radio Banasthali 90.4 FM has been chosen for conducting the case study. The conclusions of this research divulge that the community radio has regained the lost faith and authenticity of radio broadcasting particularly in terms of information dissemination.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":" 378","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141364309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clothing is the most effective way to protect against UV radiation (UVR) exposure. Different fabrics have different levels of dyeing with natural, synthetic or artificial fibres depending on their properties. While reviewing, the researcher found that some natural dyes are in appealing colours which have UV-protective properties and obtained excellent results. The creation of these natural colours was done by utilizing fruit peel, plant-based dyes, vegetable dyes, dry fruits, and pulses. Other researchers investigated these natural hues. Researcher is utilizing these findings to create UV-protective clothing by using a wide range of natural colours. There are several companies in the market which provide UV protective clothing using artificial colours but they don’t use any designing element for kids wear. Skin of kids is more delicate; therefore, they require special attention and protection from the sun. The objective of this study is to produce designer and protective clothing with natural dye that have the necessary UV protection. Five different tie-dye techniques were used in this study to develop clothing that protects young girls from UV rays. By examining their structural, aesthetic, and functional aspects, it was determined that protective clothing designs were accepted by the mothers and their caretakers.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":"115 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141361040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ethos of politeness, refinement and urban sociability of England was mapped onto the Indian culture through advertising campaigns. In the early nineteenth century, tea brands like Brook Bond and Lipton featured images of white European women drinking tea promoting it as a luxury item. However, a decisive shift is noticed in the visual iconography of the early twentieth-century advertisements where urban elite Indian women replaced white women. The visual imagery of the Indian ‘subaltern’ women plucking tea leaves with their nimble fingers in the tea plantation constructed a narrative of feminine care and oriental delicacy crafted for male fantasy. Thus the promotional campaigns for Indian-grown British-branded tea have to be studied within a complex discursive narrative where the woman simultaneously positioned as both the consumer and the producer of the exotic drink remains a signifier within the economy of male desire.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141373651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the dichotomy between public and private ownership within these markets has become increasingly blurred, as private shopkeepers and vendors encroach upon spaces originally designated for community use. This research paper delves to explore the nuanced dimensions of this phenomenon, shedding light on orchestrating transformation of ostensibly public spaces into privatized domains and the ensuing impact on the public realm.The central objective of this study is to initiate a meaningful dialogue within the public domain regarding the ever-crafting nature of public spaces in India, particularly in the context of marketplaces. The encroachment by private entities poses critical questions about the essence of publicness in these spaces, challenging traditional notions and raising concerns about the equitable access and shared ownership of urban areas.The paper employs a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing on urban sociology, anthropology, and urban planning theories to unravel the layers of complexities involved in the art of privatizing these public spaces. Through an extensive review of literature, case studies, and field observations, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics at play and the various stakeholders involved in this process. Designing the newly-evolved socio-economic system around these community spaces is the real social art.Key thematic areas explored in this research include the historical evolution of urban markets in India, the socio-economic motivations driving private encroachments, the role of municipal authorities in regulating public spaces, and the impact on the community's right to access and enjoy these spaces. Additionally, the study delves into the legal frameworks governing public spaces and the effectiveness of current regulatory measures in curbing privatization tendencies, but is restricted to examining the administrative changes and market transformations in Delhi, and does not concentrate on socio-cultural changes, which is a detailed area of focus on its own. By fostering a dialogue on the publicness of public spaces, the research aims to stimulate awareness and encourage civic engagement in crafting the future of urban landscapes with delicate artistry. The findings of this study are expected to inform policymakers, urban planners, and community leaders, offering insights into potential interventions to reclaim and preserve public spaces for the collective benefit of society.In conclusion, this research paper contributes to the growing body of knowledge on urban dynamics in India and serves as a catalyst for reimagining and revitalizing public spaces. The implications of this study extend beyond academia, resonating with citizens, activists, and policymakers alike, and public perceptions to ensure the preservation and enhan","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":" 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141371000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Art is considered something that is unique and a form of self-expression. The aim of this paper is to investigate the geometry used in morphological development of Mughal monuments and in their transitions. Live case study is done to explore the different elements, their geometry, artworks, and materials in Mughal monuments (Humayun’s Tomb and Itimad-Ud-Daulah tomb). The geometrical transitions in different elements of the tomb buildings studied and their interrelationship is then found. Findings shows that these transformations contributed in the development of overall morphological definition of Mughal tomb structures. It can be seen that Mughal era art and architecture made use of geometry in their morphological development. Also, different materials and art forms were used in different architectural elements of tomb buildings.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":"39 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141382277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It involves using a stylus to expertly apply a thick paste made of vegetable colours and castor or linseed oil onto fabric. The Persian origin of the term \"Rogan\" means \"oil-based,\" emphasizing the process of heating and forming castor oil in cold water to create a viscous material. This art form was once quite popular among the Muslim Khatris group in Gujarat, and it is historically credited to the Afridis, a community of Syrian descent. After the first impression, the cloth is carefully folded to create a mirrored design. The artists used their palms to apply body-temperature paint. Rogan painting, which is well-known for its rich colours and intricate designs that frequently incorporate floral themes, animals, and regional cultural features, has faced challenges due to low awareness and the rise of low-cost, automated textiles. However, there has been a resurgence in recent years, contributed to increased tourists, support from non-profits and local cooperatives, and the prestige of winning awards and recognition. This paper gave insights into the ideation of incorporating and being inspired by Rogan art motifs into product diversification with contemporary designs through embroidery for garment collections.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":"49 38","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141384281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In cinema, color has a significant role in on various levels. But it was not the fundamental component of cinema. Although color was added in film later, but for a long time people were used to watching movies on their black and white television set.This study depends on the effort of a Bengali professor based in the United States who used artificial intelligence to colorize Satyajit Ray’s ‘Pather Panchali’ as a quarantine experiment. This research analyzes the use of colorization in ‘Pather Panchali’ to determine whether the colors work well to emphasize the film's symbolic meaning. It also examines whether there is still a place for sentimentality after colorization and how well AI works at coloring in black and white movies.The research objectives include evaluating the role that colorization plays in bringing the film's meaning to light with regard to certain situations, examining among specialists the nostalgia/emotions linked with classic black and white films, and gauging experts reaction to the practice of using AI to colorize previously black-and-white movies. This study uses in-depth interviews as a qualitative research approach for gathering expert opinions.This study concludes that the cinematic symbolism of the black and white version of ‘Pather Panchali’ is lost in the colorized version. Expert interviews revealed the complex connection between colorization and the film's visual style. The findings emphasize the need for careful consideration and preservation of the original black-and-white format, while also recognizing the advancements and limitations of artificial intelligence in the colorization process.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":"6 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141265783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
