Folklore as a significant aspect of human cognition, way of life and world view not only demonstrates the complex layers of human existence through generations but also paves the way for a sustainable future through its cultural dimensions, social functions, and ecological lessons. The current research examines how two unrelated folkloric forms from distinct geographic regions emerge as exemplars of sustainable values embedded within the community. Focusing on the ritualistic performance of Teyyam from Kolathunadu and the folk-art form called Tolu Bommalata from Nimmalakunta region, it argues on the inextricable association of indigenous knowledge systems with its natural and cultural landscape thereby demonstrating the case of a sustainable model. A cultic practice prevalent in the cultural region of Kolathunadu, Teyyam advocates a strong association with the tribal culture of the land in terms of its environmental, social, and cultural values. Tolu Bommalata of Nimmalakunta region, renowned for its distinct cultural expression of storytelling and entertainment is a living folk tradition of shadow puppetry that combines the elements of performing as well as visual arts. The research through a qualitative perspective focuses on ethnographic methods backed by the documentation and analysis of the tangible aspects of folklore. Apart from the reflections on the cultural plurality of Indian folklore and crafts, the study reveals its co-existence with the landscape embodying the environmental, social, and cultural values thereby demonstrating a sustainable model in Indian folklore.","PeriodicalId":503455,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":"55 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139252097","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}

They are tangible reflections of a society's values, beliefs, and practices offering glimpses into the aesthetic preferences, horticultural practices, and social values of bygone eras. These gardens often reflect the fusion of different cultural influences, acting as a visual tapestry of human creativity and ingenuity. To highlight the significance of historic gardens with regard to cultural diversity, this study examines the historical, cultural, botanical and architectural aspect of five famous royal gardens of Punjab that were originally created as private retreats of the Monarchs but now have been transformed into public spaces. Drawing upon archival research, scholarly literature, and site visits, the study delves into the architecture, symbolism, and historical context of each garden, revealing their unique cultural expressions. The argument put forth in the paper is that historic gardens are not just physical spaces but cultural artifacts that serve as a testament to the rich cultural diversity of the region, exposing visitors to a plethora of different artistic and cultural influences. This research highlights that historic gardens significantly contribute to cultural diversity and further facilitate cultural exchange and cultural education. The study further emphasizes the importance of valuing, preserving and valorizing historic gardens, not only for their continued relevance but for fostering cultural sustainability and enriching our collective heritage.","PeriodicalId":503455,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":"37 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139252765","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}
