Uttarakhand Aipan Art "Aipan Plate"

Hello friends, I hope you all are fine and everything is fine and your life is going well.

Aipan art is an integral part of the culture of Uttarakhand and is considered an important part of Kumaoni identity.... Aipan work has become a source of employment in Uttarakhand. Many people are decorating and selling many things with their art.

Aipan Art Karwa Chauth Set is a traditional folk art of Uttarakhand. Aipan decorated Karwa Chauth Puja Samagri is a set of items which includes traditional Puja Thali, Diya, Chaalni and Lota. The sets are made of red and white colour on which symbols of gods and goddesses and geometric patterns are made. These sets hold religious and cultural significance for the festival of Karwa Chauth, and their demand is increasing in the country and abroad.

Artists work hard in the mountains, they paint pictures, decorate life and folk art with colours. The views of the mountains on the canvas, the art of Uttarakhand, appeal to everyone. This is the specialty of the mountains.

Karwa Chauth thali usually contains karva, lamp, sieve, sindoor, rice, kumkum, sweets, fruits, flowers, and a water pot. Nowadays people have started buying thali made of appliqué and the demand for painted thali is increasing. I have made this thali for my friend and in which her and her husband's name is also written and Sada Sabhagyawati Bhavah is written. Sada Saubhagyawati Bhavah means "always be fortunate" or "always be a married woman". This is a blessing that is usually given to married women, which means that their married life should always be happy and prosperous, and their husband should live long. And they should always be happy in life.

As you all must have seen this entire set, how much time it must have taken to make it because it is a very delicate work and each and every thing has to be done with complete concentration. And it also takes a lot of hard work.
