A shapely spherical object, its scooped neck makes it easy to hold between fingers and liquids don’t drip when poured. Traditionally made of copper or brass, possessing an orange hue to a bright yellow or a subdued golden patina, the lota dazzles and makes all Indian kitchens glow. A multipurpose metal vessel for all walks of Indian life, it is used for fetching water, performing religious rituals, and even practicing yoga. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIt functions as a tumbler, water container, canister, jug, and a stackable container, all in one.

The village women have a process which, with the use of tamarind and ash, each day turns this brass into gold. But how would one go about designing a Lota? First one would have to shut out all preconceived ideas on the subject and then begin to consider factor after factor’. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Desktop Planter is inspired by this ageless Lota Design and the quintessential Katori – a smaller variant of the Lota and such a big part of the Indian Thali to hold its varied ingredients.

They are often worn to conceal feelings and also as coverings to hide or protect the faces. They may be carved, moulded, or even woven objects, which are worn over the face or on the head. The chief motivation for making mask was probably to satisfy the magico-religious needs of the primitive people. From time immemorial Assam has a thought provoking heritage of making and using masks. The masks, especially the bamboo split made masks, are integral to the Vaishnavism of Assam. The great saint Srimanta Sankaradeva (1449-1568) propagated Neo-Vaishnavism in North East India, which was a part of the larger pan-Indian resurgence of unflinching devotion (bhakti). The Natun (new) Chamaguri Satra is a renowned Vaishnavite monastery of Majuli, which has a long and rich tradition of mask making. It is pertinent to note that Majuli is the nerve-centre of Assam’s Vaishnavism, where the eye-catching tradition of mask making is nourished in the four satras (Vaishnavite monasteries).
