Bagañ rinyo apu

 

                                                               Bagañ rinyo apu

Bagañ rinyo apu is Hoya linearis Wall. ex D.Don, a Himalayan native, is also called #porcelain_vine, #wax_vine or #wax_plant.

While potting it in pot one need to remember that this plant has weak roots, and it is crucial to provide it with a perfect environment. Watering when the topsoil is dry and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil can do the trick. It will love an extra seasonal feed of well-balanced fertilizer.

*Note : wild flowers looks good in wilderness, let's not disturb the original habitat for our Human greediness.

Apatani Pottery making

 Dekiñ pwchañ

Detailed view of the texture of a vintage earthen pot inherited by the Apatani family.

Previously, the Apatani people were skilled artisans in pottery making, which has been lost over time. This loss is significant to the cultural heritage of the community. Presently, we rely entirely on factory-produced utensils available in the market.

Many other Northeastern communities have continued the pottery-making craft, and their products are in high demand. It is regrettable that this art form could not have been preserved or revived.

Apatani Heritage textiles

Apart from know how about judicious use of land, Apatani tribe is also known for their weaving. Apatani ancestors practiced organic dyeing of yarns in different colours and weaved intrinsic patterns.

Have a closer view of heritage weaves and it's patterns. We need to take proper curative measures to preserve these century old heritage clothes.
