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). The present volume has meticulously churned the heritage of the Natun Chamaguri Satra, and has shown the economic, social, cultural and religious significance of the masks as also a praiseworthy record of the available masks of the area\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Word Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33808400744581,"sku":"II-CULT-0318","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/6806\/4645\/products\/masks-in-indic-culture-books-717424.jpg?v=1601557598"},{"product_id":"mask-the-other-face","title":"Mask - The Other face","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThis interesting book brings together the various types of masks used in the different states of India.

Other than retelling the interesting parts of the Mahabharata, what makes this book a favourite among the readers is Pattanaik rendering of the various local folklores and tales that are associated with the epic, which have been presented in a whole new genre. With a master stroke, the author has elaborated the storyline by including lesser known folklore stories of the epic, while keeping intact its original form and style. The book has been divided into 108 chapters and has vivid illustrations along with 250 simple line drawings painted by Pattanaik himself. Besides infusing the different tales from local versions of the epic, the author has also added folk arts aspects picked up from 'Yakshagana’ in Karnataka, 'Terukuttu’ in Tamil Nadu and 'Pandavani’ in Chattisgarh to blend with the narrative. Stories of Barbareek, Aravan, Astika, Madhavi and Jaimini form a special portion of this book. Other than this, Pattanaik has also introduced some intriguing ongoing traditions, like the worship of Draupadi in temples of Tamil Nadu. Along with this, a whole section has been devoted to the Kurukshetra war described on the basis of descriptive astronomical information. By infusing these interesting details along with the various local versions of the epic, the author has attempted to create a pan-Indian version of the epic that has, since times immemorial, helped in shaping the culture and history of the whole country. Published by Penguin, this book may be a great choice for those intrigued to know about the religious and cultural intricacies of the country as well as those who are reading the epic for the first time. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Word Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33823593758853,"sku":"II-CULT-0313","price":499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/6806\/4645\/products\/jaya-mahabharata-books-616821.jpg?v=1601554303"},{"product_id":"waterlife","title":"Waterlife","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\"Without a shadow of exaggeration, the most beautiful book I’ve ever laid eyes on.\" - Brainpickings.org \"This folk art collection of wood-cut style illustrations is so visually compelling, you may want three copies... one to leaf through at leisure, one to take apart to frame the full-page images, and one to bestow upon someone special.\" - SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION \"Gloriously attractive, endlessly fascinating book.

In wild Himalaya, award-winning author Stephen alter brings alive the greatest mountain range on Earth in all its terrifying beauty, grandeur and complexity. Travelling to all the five countries that the Himalayan range traverses—india, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal and China— alter braids together on-the-ground reports with a deep understanding and study of the history, Science, Geology, environment, Flora, fauna, myth, folklore, spirituality, climate and human settlements of the region to provide a nuanced and rich portrait of these legendary mountains. Adding colour to the narrative are riveting tales unearthed by the author of some of the range’s most storied peaks—everest or chomolungma, kanchenjunga, Annapurna, dhaulagiri, nanga Parbat and others. The book is divided into eight sections which delve deep into particular aspects of the Himalaya. ‘Orogenesis’ explores the origin, evolution, Geology, Geography and other such core aspects of these mountains; ‘the third pole’ concerns itself with weather, glaciers, wetlands and rivers; ‘Flora himalensis’ details extraordinary Himalayan plants and trees; ‘winged migrants’ goes deep into the world of Himalayan birds and insects; in ‘mountain mammals’ we cross high passes and go above the tree line in search of Brown bears, Blue sheep and snow leopards; ‘ancestral journeys’ takes a close look at human settlement in the Himalaya and stories of origin and migration, both ancient and contemporary; ‘at the edge of beyond’ recounts epic adventures and great mountaineering feats; and, finally, ‘in a thousand ages of the gods’ the author examines the essence of Himalayan art, folklore and mythology as well as enigmatic mysteries such as the existence of the Yeti, along with key questions of conservation. Although there have been hundreds of books and some masterpieces, about one or the other aspect of the Himalaya, not one of them has come close to capturing the incredible complexity and majesty of these mountains. Until now. In wild Himalaya, Stephen alter, who considers himself an endemic species (having spent most of his life in these mountains), gives us the definitive natural history of the greatest mountain range on Earth. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Word Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33826626142341,"sku":"II-NATU-112","price":899.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/6806\/4645\/products\/wild-himalaya-natural-history-books-518205.jpg?v=1601564201"},{"product_id":"my-great-india-cookbook","title":"My Great Indian Cookbook","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAn authority on eclectic cuisine and with an experience of over twenty years, Chef Vikas Khanna brings together the most \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.indicinspirations.com\/collections\/indian-cuisine\/products\/cuisines-incredible-india\" title=\"cuisines-incredible-india\"\u003edelicious recipes\u003c\/a\u003e from his travels across India in \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy Great Indian Cookbook\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.

Narayan enthralled and entertained generations of readers with his deftly etched characters, his uniquely stylized language and his wry sense of humor. A storyteller par excellence, Narayan’s greatest achievement perhaps lies in creating and peopling the imagined landscapes of a town called Malgudi, located somewhere in South India, which has come alive in story after story in such a way that it has now become a part of modern Indian folklore. This collection brings between two covers some of the most memorable fiction that has emerged from R.K. Narayan’s pen. It contains The Man-eater of Malgudi, which tells the story of Nataraj, owner of a small printing press, and his houseguest Vasu, a taxidermist, who moves into Nataraj’s attic with a menagerie of dead animals. There is also Talkative Man, a novella that starts off with the arrival on the Delhi train of a stranger in a blue suit who takes up residence in the station waiting room and refuses to budge. Also included here are some of the most popular and striking short stories Narayan has written: from the celebrated ‘A Horse and Two Goats’ and ‘Salt and Sawdust’ to gems like ‘An Astrologer’s Day’, ‘The Shelter’ and ‘Under the Banyan Tree’. Encapsulating the very best of R.K. Narayan’s remarkable output, this is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest modern writers in the English language. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Word Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33826835103877,"sku":"II-CULT-0306","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/6806\/4645\/products\/a-town-called-malgudi-books-368734.jpg?v=1601538922"},{"product_id":"a-historical-dictionary-of-indian-food","title":"Historical Dictionary of Indian Food","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOutside India Indian food is popular the world over, from Tokyo to Telford and from Canberra to California.

Explores the evolution of goddess worship in India over 4,000 years. Stunning color photographs illustrate many stories of goddess lore never before available in one collection. In India it is said that there is a goddess in every village, a nymph in every lake. Demonesses stand guard on village frontiers, ogresses howl on crossroads, and untamed forests resound with the laughter of celestial virgins. It is a land of mysterious Apsaras and seductive Yakshinis, of terrifying Dakinis and wise Yoginis--each with a story to tell. In this wide-reaching exploration of ancient Hindu lore and legends, author Devdutt Pattanaik discovers how earth, women and goddesses have been perceived over 4,000 years. Some of the tales recounted are revered classics, others are common and folklorish, often held in disdain by priests. Until now, most have remained hidden, isolated in distant hamlets or languishing in forgotten libraries, overwhelmed by the din of masculine sagas. As the tales come to light through word and stunning color imagery, the author identifies the five faces given to the eternal feminine as man sought to unlock the mysteries of life: the female half of existence is at first identified with Nature, gradually deified and eventually objectified. She comes to be seen as the primal mother, fountainhead of life and nurturance. The all-giving mother then transforms into the dancing nymph, a seductress offering worldly pleasures that bind man in the cycle of life. As this nymph is domesticated, the dominant image of woman becomes the chaste wife with miraculous powers. Finally the submissive consort redefines herself as the wild and terrifying goddess who does battle, drinks blood, and demands appeasement. Exploring mysteries of gender and biology, and shedding light on the roots of taboos and traditions practiced in India today, the author shows how the image of the Mother Goddess can be both worshiped and feared when she carries the face of mortal woman. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Word Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33840309338245,"sku":"II-CULT-0330","price":599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/6806\/4645\/products\/the-goddess-in-india-books-931119.jpg?v=1601563652"},{"product_id":"indian-toys-come-alive","title":"Indian Toys Come Alive","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eIndian Toys Come Alive!', a treasure-house of information on Indian culture, sees our country's heritage as reflected in the making of toys through the centuries.

These are usually contests based on rules and decided by the skill, judgment or sometimes on luck alone. There were very many board games which were played in ancient India such as chess and pachisi. Chess originated in North Western parts of India during Gupta period and then spread to Persia. This game reached Europe by about 10th century AD and by 15th century came to be known as royal game because of its popularity among the nobility. Many of the games were modified in new countries and these are known by different names in different countries though the basic principles of the game are similar. For instance Pachisi is known as Ludo in England and Parcheesi in U.S.A. A survey of our ancient temples and forts reveal the presence of such games which remained because they were marked on the stones. A study of them and the evolution of those games makes an interesting reading.
