In a constant effort towards development in the physical, intellectual, social, and emotional wellbeing, the human tendencies always keep visiting and revisiting the spiritual dimension for an upper sense of validation. All human activity somehow takes refuge and develops through the presence of this spiritual faculty. Where classical dance holds a well-esteemed status in the deliverance of the spiritual goals human beings possess, Kathak dance continues to illuminate an artist’s life by the spiritual role it offers. The paper studies how education in Kathak can yield this universal purpose of spiritual growth. Various reflections in the style and structure of the Kathak education further strengthens the fact that learning and dancing Kathak truly invokes a remarkable spiritual upsurge. This acknowledgement of the Supreme Power by the inner self ascertains persistence, value, harmony and thus fosters a spiritual evolution in its true sense.

Tripura is a land-locked state in Northeast India that comprises of multiple communities. Majorly dominated by the Tribal and Bengali communities, this state has witnessed drastic changes in its culture and heritage. Since partition, a huge demographic and ethnographic change has ushered in major challenges for the tribal communities. One such major change was witnessed in the evolution of Tripuri and Reang costumes. The traditional dresses of the communities faced historic challenges that questioned their personal and collective identity. The impact of westernization and modernization on Tripuri dressing culture shall be analysed in this paper. This paper shall also try to study how patterns of cloth and style of dressing have evolved due to the impact of global culture over the local culture. The reasons for the evolution shall be mapped through qualitative data collected from different people (of different communities) belonging to different parts of the state.

It is often perceived that craft means no technology, primitive methods, and materials that have zero or significantly less impact on the actual needs of people. However, this research is trying to trace the craft's nature, importance, and potential in creating human-centric designs with sustainable methods. This research discusses the role of craft and design for a sustainable future. The intent is to build a bridge between design, craft, and sustainability. This paper hopes to bring together all three and benefit the participating stakeholders, researchers, designers, and artisans, allowing them to exchange and coordinate their points of view and expertise to find new solutions to associate craft with sustainable design, which are the crucial design challenges of today.This research contributes to (1) exploring practices and connotations of traditional craft about human-centric design thinking and sustainability; (2) validating the hypothetical framing of the coordination amid craft and sustainability through actual case studies, (3) stakeholder engagement can be enhanced through a craft-based approach towards sustainable development. This paper discusses Indian consumers' feedback towards craft-based products, accepts their suggestions, authenticates, and draws conclusions. Hypothetically we can say that A craft-based strategy might have a good impact on sustainable design.The research paper's outcome is a suggestive plan to incorporate craft as the basic structure and vital resource of human-centric design and contribute to sustainability. We claim that craft has critical potential to contribute towards evolution for sustainable design transformation for people and society, which may lead to significant changes in worldview, economic activities, and environmental concerns.

Aesthetics, the philosophical perspective that guides the interpretation of an art or its elements for beauty and taste, is not as a simple tool as it appears to be, and its complexity rests on its association with multiple principles and concerns. As located by Immanuel Kant in his The Critique of Judgement Kant (1790/1928), the presence of faculty of judgement consists two parts: ‘critique of aesthetic judgement and critique of teleological judgement,’ and there is a discussion on the ‘aesthetic purposiveness’ in judgement which is presented immediately after the discussion on the ‘logical purposiveness’ in the introduction. In handling the aesthetics of art, it is not merely an expression of the feeling or the sense of taste; rather it is a judgement ascribed to it. Teleology, on the other hand, moves on the regulative or heuristic path in achieving a goal or purpose of the object Bird (2023). However, this article moves away from the core philosophical dialogue on the nature of aesthetics to evolve a framework for contemplating the aesthetics associated with the presence of animal characters in the folktales of judicial/judgement belonging to the tribal communities of Jharkhand. A few judgement tales are taken for this study, not with any specific reason, but these tales have been identified as a matter of convenience in addressing a strong message that is constructed using the popular animal motifs that are quite common and particular to tribal communities in the state. By employing literary tools in delineating and portraying the animal characters as folk motifs and their aesthetic representations to effectively construct and convey the notion of moral judgement on the narrative events that are conditioned with the narrative requirements as per the narrative programme, this article attempts contemporize the dialogue on the moral and ethical attributes as well as to signify the existence of oral tradition with greater responsibility for human beings with amusement as a mere camouflage technique.

Water has always been an essential part of human civilization, shaping urban landscapes and influencing social life. The drinking water fountains built during colonial period are locally called as pyaavs while water dispensing units are generally called as paanpois. Two old drinking water fountains and some new water dispensing units are located within the Pune Cantonment region. Whereas the ancient Paanpois were located on the outskirts of Pune. The aim of this paper is to study the evolution of the historic pyaavs and the paanpois which are regional expressions of water dispensing units from Pune. This study explores the tangible and intangible legacy through a variety of photographic documentation and a review of existing research in the topic, showcasing the individuality of each water dispensing unit.

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of Indian women artists harnessing digital platforms to critique and engage with societal norms surrounding gender equality and women’s empowerment. Being active participants on digital platforms they are strongly addressing issues related to women’s rights by socially commentating through their art. Digital platforms encourage global audiences and international access to artworks that enable artists to amplify their content through active social media engagement. Social media platforms are powerful mediums of connection that encourage the boosting of young talent to reach diverse audiences through their exhilarating art pieces. These women artists are presenting themselves and letting out their voice through art campaigns, projects, series, installations, 3D artworks, crypto, digital paintings, etc. to bring to the forefront topics such as gender bias, patriarchy, violence against females, stereotyping, inclusivity, sexuality, consent, body shaming, feminine perfection, female beauty standards and so on. They are motivated to present to the women of India, the need to be aware of the challenges and threats imposed on their identity as the society in which they live is at the turn of acknowledging a new age that is ready to offer acceptance and equality to women on the terms of their fight and struggle of pushing the system forward from the dead asleep. The digital artworks of a senior contemporary women artist and a young digital social commentator will be discussed in the paper to present a richer and more comprehensive understanding of the socio-political issues addressed through the artistic journey of these two artists belonging to different age groups.

With filmmaking being democratized, social imperatives are becoming central theme in cinema. In the Indian context, cinematic narratives are now trying to be inclusive of issues of importance. There are instances where men have offered stories and narratives that profoundly depict issues related to women. These instances, though limited, yet demand an academic attention. This paper analyses two films that portray gender issues; one Malayalam and the other, Hindi, both released on OTT platforms Neestream and Amazon respectively. It investigates the constructive elements in both the narratives employed by the filmmakers, both men, to underline the silent patriarchy existing in the society.
随着电影制作的民主化，社会责任正成为电影的核心主题。在印度，电影叙事现在正试图包容重要的问题。在某些情况下，男性提供的故事和叙事深刻地描述了与妇女有关的问题。这些例子虽然有限，但需要学术界的关注。本文分析了两部描写性别问题的电影：一部是马拉雅拉姆语电影，另一部是印地语电影，这两部电影都分别在 OTT 平台 Neestream 和亚马逊上映。本文研究了这两部影片中的建设性元素，这两部影片的制片人均为男性，他们在叙事中强调了社会中存在的无声的父权制。
