"Vol. 65, no. 4, June 2014"--Title page verso; simultaneously issued in serial format as an issue of Marg. Fabrics play a vital role in the rituals and ceremonies that mark every stage of religious, cultural and social life in In…dia. 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, invoking the strength of the creative act as well as divine protection. The book begins with an overview of the ritual importance of textiles through the major religions of India and an exploration of the cult 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, sudreh and kusti, of the Parsi Zoroastrians; the representation of sacred trees in the kantha embroidery of West Bengal and Bangladesh; the Hindu, Islamic and Christian traditions of Goa including the use of carved ivory combined with embroidery, unique in the world; and the significance of door-hangings or torans of Gujarat and Rajasthan, which contrast vividly with the region's desert landscape. The final chapter studies the checked and plaid madras, striped silks and embroidered velvets used by the Kalabari people of Nigeria, who for centuries have prized these textiles imported from India that are indispensable in ceremonies related to life events. This range of unusual themes explored by textile experts and designers reflects the deep connections between human consciousness and the making of sacred fabrics, that have existed from time immemorial and continue till today. The book is a first step in presenting some of the unique sacred textile traditions of India, while recognizing that innumerable others await study and documentation.
