Immersive Textile Tour in Nuapatna

-

After food and shelter, it is clothing without which humanity can not survive. Clothing is not only about hiding one's body but also a reflection of cultural values, climatic adaptation and the legacy of one's historical roots. 


In Odisha, weavers constitute a large majority in traditional occupations. There are several clusters where handloom thrives as a timeless craft. One of these clusters is Nuapatna and its adjoining Maniabandh villages. The cluster is home to about 3,000 weaver families who are engaged in traditional khandua pata weaving dedicated to Lord Jagannath. 




However as time has moved, several enterprising weavers of Nuapatna and Maniabandha are innovating contemporary designs and colour schemes, light in weight, both in Eri and Malda Silk and cotton. 




Sarna works closely with a few of these weavers and is also involved in creating new designs and colour schemes. Sarna's designs are now widely accepted both in India and overseas markets.

Recently Sarna has initiated immersive textile tourism in Nuapatna. Sarna takes its traveller friends on an immersive journey to the traditional homes and workshops of its partner weavers where the guests are engaged in storytelling. Behind every saree and fabric, there is a story mostly inspired by the Jagannath cult, traditional festivals and rituals of Odisha, beside temple motifs, flora and fauna and geometrical pattern.  Some of these designs are a visual treat to the eyes.

Rare Sightings of Territorial Fights among Salt water Crocodiles in Bhitarkanika

-

Bhitarkanika National Park is wild territory. Filled with mangroves forest on both sides of a network of creeks, Bhitarkanika is home to around 1800 saltwater crocodiles, some of which are the world’s largest. It is said that December to February is the best season for crocodile sighting in Bhitarkanika as many of them are seen basking on the mudflats in the morning or late afternoon. However, on a sunny post-monsoon October afternoon, we were thrilled to sight territorial fights among crocodiles in the dangerous creek waters of Bhitarkanika. In the breeding season for saltwater crocodiles, competition among the female for territory is not only intense but also violent. Saltwater crocodiles are the most territorial among all crocodile species. Adults are particularly intolerant of other adults and this territoriality is displayed by both male and female crocodiles.     The territory size of female crocodiles is smaller, about one km in radius associated with nesti...

Kids grow full of inquisitiveness having a sense of wonder. Their innocent minds have tons of questions, many rooted with deeper ideas. However, in our educational system most of the time either they are suppressed to ask or not created a conducive environment where they are nurtured to ask questions.  When they are your travel companions provide them with the opportunities to unless the questions that flow through their minds, allow them to share their experiences unconditionally. It is not important the quality of the questions that they ask or the quality of the experience that they share, but it is essential to nurture the questioning skills, even though they appear to us illogical.  Travel Sarna not only have a strong belief in educational tourism for kids but is also determined to implement it.   Here is a travel story of our recently conducted tour to a farm in the dense forest of Hindol Range in Upland Odisha.  Kanha (Shrehyansh) and (Dudul) Shiv Shailes...
