‘Nesavu' brings alive Handloom artistry of Western Tamil Nadu at Kumaraguru Institutions
Exquisite patterns showcasing vibrancy of artistry in the handloom products specialised in Western region surfaced on Saturday at 'Nesavu', a celebration of the National Handloom Day by the Kumaraguru Institutions. Curated by the Shakti Creativity and Culture Initiative, the event reflected a blend of documentation, devotion, and rediscovery, aiming to archive and honour the lives, memories, and meaning woven into each saree. 'The initiative is heartening at a juncture when handloom sarees are staring at extinction. The younger generation, through the event, has given hope that the artistry could be sustained,' said Thangavel, a prominent weaver of Bhavani in Erode district, who inaugurated the event along with another senior co-weaver P. Sathivel, and a host of dignitaries, including Sujani Balu, former president of the Crafts Council of Tamil Nadu, and Padmini Tolat Balram, Handloom Designer. Students of Fashion Technology in Kumaraguru College of Technology (KCT) gained deep insights into the cultural and historical significance of the sarees at the exhibition titled 'Akkarai: Ecosophy of Sarees', underscoring a deep reverence for the craft. A section devoted to 'The Devanga Community' was a tribute to the traditional weaving community, whose history is rooted and deeply intertwined with the loom. It spoke of their customs, such as the yellow wedding saree, which represents their rich heritage. The event also featured a display of sarees in 'Weavers collection' that are 'kept not to be worn but to be remembered'. The one on 'Ethics' focused on conscious weaving, showcasing sarees made with organic cotton and natural dyes that reflect a philosophy of sustainable creation. A special display dedicated to the research of Prof. Balaram showcased her work on reviving natural dye techniques, featuring a prominent blue saree dyed with indigo, symbolising the innovative efforts to revitalise traditional methods. A discussion 'Journey of the Saree' that followed brought together panellists from diverse backgrounds to trace the saree's evolution from humble cotton to a treasured cultural symbol, celebrating the rich artisan and market ecosystem of Coimbatore. Moderated by Shobhana Kumar, a poet and founder of Small Differences, the discussion involved panellists Pankaja Srinivasan, a Coimbatore-based writer; Paras Jain, Director of Mahaveers; Prof. Balaram; and Shivaswami, a textile dyer from Negamam.

Dharali disaster not isolated incident, need to study settlements present on river banks: Experts
Dr. Sushil Kumar, former senior scientist at the Dehradun-based Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, said, 'Now the time has come to study all those areas where large settlements have come up on the headlands of rivers and streams.' Headlands are the plains situated on the banks of the river which are covered by floods from time to time. These plains are usually made up of soil, silt, sand and gravel deposited by the river. The experts say that the Dharali disaster should not be seen as an isolated case. Dehradun, Aug 8 (PTI) Four days after raging waters buried half of Dharali village in Uttarkashi, experts have stressed the need to study the existing settlements located on the river banks or in the flood plains. Due to the high amount of nutrients, this land is fertile, which makes it very useful for agriculture and because of this, villages and settlements are also established in these areas, but they are often at risk of floods. Many scientists including Dr. Kumar say that the debris-laden water stream that hit Dharali was on its original path and destroyed all the hotels, homestays, restaurants and houses that came in its way. In view of the boom in tourism in the last few years, dozens of hotels, restaurants and homestays have mushroomed in Dharali and most of the buildings destroyed in the disaster were built in violation of environmental rules on the banks of the Khirgad seasonal river, they said. This disaster, which struck on August 5, turned a beautiful stop on the way to Gangotri Dham into a high pile of rubble in the blink of an eye. Locals say the government also turns a blind eye to violation of norms in environmentally sensitive areas, including a ban on new construction along the Bhagirathi riverbank. In 2023, a large building of a training academy collapsed like a pack of cards amid heavy floods in the Song River in Maldevta area of Dehradun. Experts say that the building was constructed on the river bank in gross violation of environmental norms. Environmentalist Anoop Nautiyal said that the most glaring example of violation of environmental norms in construction is present in Dehradun where the Uttarakhand Assembly building has been built right on the banks of the Rispana river. In the last few years, dozens of colonies including Bhagat Singh Colony have been built by encroaching on the banks of the Rispana and Bindal rivers in Dehradun. The locals have alleged that in most cases, government officials are in collusion with land mafia and buildings are constructed on the vacant land. Many petitions have been filed in the Uttarakhand High Court regarding the damage to the environment due to illegal construction in Dehradun, Rishikesh and other areas. The High Court has also directed the state government to remove encroachment from the land along the banks of Rispana and Bindal rivers.
