@T_Investor_ In my region it is called "Peedha" and I have this one.

@aksharmaBharat @myogiadityanath @UppclChairman Dear Sirs, I received a bill of INR 51,385 for No. 2731848065 erroneously. After complaint was revised to INR 1,952 out of which 436 charged as late payment fee. If it was mistake at department's end then why should I pay for it?

@oyorooms @riteshagar What about guests' experience and other lofty statements. Please refund the booking amount for Y7262880 and I promise to never use your service again.

[Loive_The Local Hive @Loive_LocalHive]

@oyorooms @riteshagar OYO is lowering its service standards each passing day. With the booking ID Y7262800, the property says that they can't accept booking as it is under construction. Yet OYO happily accepted it and received payment also.

Bottle, pen-stand, diary, folder, bag, cup, coaster as well as mask. Each of these is #handcrafted and completely #biodegradable.

While we are pitching it to organizations, but these could be equally thoughtful gifts for any occasion for individuals as well.

[Loive_The Local Hive @Loive_LocalHive]

Now #Kondapalli isn't the only kind of #doll that we have in our repertoire, rather there is #Manipuri as well.

These aren't crafted out of wood rather cloth. Nevertheless it doesn't make these any less #beautiful.

Sample a few.

[Loive_The Local Hive @Loive_LocalHive]

There are few plants as useful as #bamboo. Native to #India, it has been with us since time immemorial. A few lucky ones might have even tasted #yummy bamboo shoots curry. But today I want to share a few beautiful crafted items which blend the #heritage and #modernity perfectly.

[Loive_The Local Hive @Loive_LocalHive]

One of the most underrated #heritage #art is #Aipan which is practiced in the #Kumaon region of #Uttarakhand. It is a ritualistic art which moved from walls to all kind of utility items such as cushion covers, dupatta, plate as well as invitation cards.

The Kondapalli toys are made from soft wood known as Tella Poniki, found in Kondapalli Hills. Each part is carved out separately. Then makku- a paste of tamarind seed powder & sawdust is used to join pieces together, add details and finish the toys.

One example wherein we have made #Pattachitra based scrolls relevant.
Traditionally these are used for depicting mythological stories through chronological frames and are hung top-down. However, we made modification to make these left-right (horizontal) and stories of patrons.

[Loive_The Local Hive @Loive_LocalHive]

In our repertoire along with other #heritage crafts, we also have diaries with #handmade paper as well as beautiful handmade covers in #kantha embroidery as well as #blockpainting.

[Loive_The Local Hive @Loive_LocalHive]

Its not that #Warli is the only #heritage art which transformed into #craft. There are many other contenders like #Madhubani.Traditionally only known for paintings, it has moved further and has gone onto #papermache items as well as other more traditional materials.
Sample a few.

[Loive_The Local Hive @Loive_LocalHive]

Though at the moment #Manipur is in news for not so favorable reasons, however, that doesn't take away the fact that its a beautiful state with illustrious #culture and #heritage #crafts.

One of these is #blackpottery. Sample a few items here.

@arshi_aadil @CFI_Accion @MicroSave Wah @arshi_aadil Adil sahab.

#Warli is one of our #heritage art forms. However, it has transformed itself from #art to #craft in form of Warli painted daily utility products such as umbrella and bottles.

[Loive_The Local Hive @Loive_LocalHive]

When #heritage meets #ingenuity, the results are #mesmerizing. Sample these perfect #homedecor items from noted #Gond #metalcraft #craftman Shri Rajak Lohar of #Chattisgarh.

[Loive_The Local Hive @Loive_LocalHive]

One #enviorment friendly craft is horn and bone craft which uses horn and bones of dead animals to make these beautiful artefacts. This is native craft of #UttarPradesh and is one of the major export item.

#Craftwomanship is of the highest order. A great piece of #heritage.
