Críticas:
[E]dited by one of the best known Indian names in the field of textiles-Jasleen Dhamija-is a wonderful window to the tradition of fabrics, the creation of which was once considered an act of worship. The Hindu, July 24 2014
Reseña del editor:
Sacred Textiles of India delves into the mystical associations of Indian textiles, from traditional Gujarat torans meant to welcome and guard the threshold to ikat weavings implying the ability to resist the world's illusionary temptations. One of the most foundational traditions in man's technical and creative evolution, textiles are embedded in South Asian philosophical concepts, myths, practices of worship and ceremonial rites of passage. Essays by prominent scholars explore the general significance of textiles as well as the more specific roles of cloth in particular geographic regions. Those mesmerized by the beauty of Indian fabrics will enjoy this study of the deeper conceptual importance of textiles and its beautiful accompanying images.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: New. 108pp. With 108 color illustrations., Fabrics play a vital role in the ceremonies that mark every stage of religious, cultural and social life in India. Traditionally, the creation of a textile is considered an act of worship, and the wearing of sacred cloths is an important aspect of rites of passage. The book begins with an overview of the ritual importance of textiles through the major religions of India and an exploration of ikat, the ?magical? textile common to many cultures of the world. Subsequent articles present pioneering research on the Islamic and Buddhist textiles of Ladakh; the ritual garments of the Parsi Zoroastrians; the representation of sacred trees in the kanthas of Bengal; the Hindu, Islamic and Christian traditions of Goa; and the significance of the torans of Gujarat and Rajasthan. The final chapter studies the fabrics imported from India which are indispensable in the ceremonies of the Kalabari of Nigeria. This range of unusual themes explored by textile experts and designers is a first step in presenting some of the unique sacred textile traditions of India, while recognizing that nnumerable others await study and documentation.
