By Atiqur Rahman, Er. Chirag Patel, Asma Khan, Umar Altaf| Village Square@ The art of making pottery is a cherished tradition in Meghalaya. This craft uses a unique combination of black clay mixed with serpentine stone, giving the pottery its distinctive look. Passed down through generations, the techniques used in creating these pots are equally important to their beauty. What sets Larnai black pottery apart is the special materials and the time-honored methods employed by artisans, making each piece a remarkable work of art.
By Er. Chirag Patel, Asma Khan, Umar Altaf, Novita Singh| Village Square@ Gujarat’s alluvial plains are well-known for their aquifer system but due to overexploitation of groundwater in the northern districts, groundwater levels have shown a declining trend. This has led to a higher water-lifting cost in addition to the increasing investment required for the deepening of wells. In fact, with the natural recharge not keeping up with the extraction, groundwater levels have dipped more than 190 m below ground level at some places in North Gujarat.
By Asma Khan, Umar Altaf, Novita Singh| Village Square@ Originating near the Kali temple in Calcutta in the 19th century was a simplified version of the Pattachitra scroll paintings made by the Patuas who migrated to the urban areas of Calcutta. The paintings are characterised by bold lines, and bright colours and do not have a lot of details in the background. They often portray scenes from Hindu mythology and from everyday life. These paintings were created as souvenirs for those visiting the Kali temple, and later in the entire region of Calcutta.
