00:00Are you ready?
00:02My name is Vijayashree.
00:04I am a Vastaviram from Vijayawada.
00:06I have been making these dolls for the past 30 years.
00:10I have been doing this for the past 70 years.
00:13Today I am making a new doll.
00:16Tomorrow is Sankranti.
00:18I will be here for 3 days.
00:20I have been making these dolls for the past 30 years.
00:24I am making them according to a theme.
00:26Earlier, I have made Bharata, Bhagavatha and Ramayana.
00:30Since we are at Durga Temple this year,
00:34I have been watching the channel of Sri Yantrao Nandur Srinivasa.
00:38As per his instructions,
00:40I have made all the Kadgamala deities in Sri Chakra
00:44in 9 avaranas.
00:47Since the Goddess is the basis for all,
00:53I have made 3 avaranas out of the 14 avaranas she has created.
00:58The first one is Devalokam.
01:00It has higher conscious people.
01:03The second one is Bhulokam.
01:05It is time bound.
01:08It has temples, houses, gardens and fields.
01:11The third one is Patadalokam.
01:13It has people who are jealous and evil.
01:17I have made 3 avaranas out of it.
01:20Out of the 14 avaranas,
01:22Bhulokam is the 7th avarana.
01:24Since I don't have enough space to make 14 avaranas,
01:28I have made 3 avaranas.
01:30The Goddess has 64 types of archanas.
01:33We can do 64 types of archanas by singing or dancing.
01:38I have made 64 types of archanas.
01:41Vatsayan has written 64 types of archanas.
01:45He is a great scholar of India.
01:50Out of the 64 types of archanas he has written,
01:5324 types of archanas have been presented in the 3rd chapter.
01:58Many people don't know what are the 64 types of archanas.
02:03I have studied about it for a month.
02:06I have tried to show the 64 types of archanas.
02:10Making handmade dolls is my passion and hobby.
02:14I have made all the dolls except the one I have made.
02:18I have shown all the archanas in detail.
02:24When it comes to Sri Chakra,
02:27there are two types of it.
02:29To increase the spirituality of the Goddess,
02:32In the 9 avaranas,
02:3411 and 2 are encapsulated.
02:38In the 11 avaranas,
02:40when we go up from the ground,
02:42when we go up,
02:44we feel enlightened.
02:48When we come down from the ground,
02:52from the Andan stage,
02:54to the Pindan stage,
02:56to the Bidadi stage,
02:58is present in Sri Chakra.
03:00We have heard a lot about attractive deities,
03:02sensory issues, autism, etc.
03:06If we look at the Ammavardhana,
03:08we can see that
03:10there is a Swamini for each chakra.
03:14There is a yogini next to her.
03:17For 9 chakras,
03:19there are 9 yoginis next to her.
03:21In the Pinduva chakra,
03:23there is Lalita Parameshwara.
03:25In the 8th chakra,
03:27there are 8 deities,
03:2914, 10, etc.
03:31In total, I have shown 102 deities.
03:33Like that,
03:35under the Ammavardhana prasadam,
03:37I have made coconut chappals,
03:39aritipallu, cherukgadalu,
03:41everything by hand.
03:43If you look at it,
03:45you will know.
03:47Varahi, Mata, Durga,
03:49there are Navadurgas too.
03:51All of them are handmade.
03:53When you come home,
03:55you will see the old-fashioned
03:57drawings,
03:59paintings,
04:01songs, dance,
04:03the mentality of the kids
04:05who want to come first or second.
04:07Everything is done by hand.
04:09It is also an art form.
04:11Even I was surprised
04:13when I was studying it.
04:15In the summer season,
04:17they put aside the summer season.
04:19In the winter season,
04:21they put aside the winter season.
04:23Now, the kids play
04:25dhamsharas too.
04:27Like that,
04:29the language of the birds
04:31is also an art form.
04:33So, I have depicted
04:35everything in it.
04:37The reason for doing all this
04:39is to put mythology.
04:41For the next generation,
04:43it will be forwarded to education.
04:45So, I have put it as a hobby.
04:47Before that, I used to put
04:49bulls and other animals.
04:51Now, every year,
04:53I take a theme.
04:55According to that theme,
04:57I have put Vaikuntham,
04:59Tirupati,
05:01Sree Chakra Yantra,
05:03and Mullokaal Universe.
05:05I have taken it as a theme this year.
05:09The reason for putting it today
05:11is because
05:13Bhogi Sankranti is a big festival
05:15for the Telugu people.
05:17So, for Sankranti,
05:19we have a tradition of putting dolls.
05:21There is a grandson of Bhogi Pallu.
05:23For the grandson of Bhogi Pallu,
05:25today,
05:27we have a tradition of
05:29parenting and putting dolls.
05:31We have a tradition of putting
05:33Savitri Gowri dolls.
05:35Tamil Nadu people
05:37do it in October.
05:39We do it for Sankranti.
05:41So, I put dolls
05:43every year for Sankranti.
05:45For Sankranti.
05:49I have put this art form
05:51to show our culture
05:53to the people
05:55who come here.
05:57My son,
05:59daughter-in-law,
06:01my husband,
06:03my son-in-law,
06:05my son-in-law,
06:07my son-in-law,
06:09my son-in-law,
06:11my son-in-law,
06:13I thank you all.
06:19I put dolls
06:21in my house.
06:23I put dolls
06:25in my house.
06:27I put dolls
06:29to show
06:31our culture.
06:33I have put dolls
06:35in my house.
06:37I am happy
06:39and I think
06:41art is for happiness
06:43and knowledge is for knowledge.
06:45That is why I
06:47took this path.
06:51I have kept
06:53the dolls
06:55that I have been
06:57keeping for years.
06:59I have used them.
07:01I have used
07:03the dolls
07:05that I have been
07:07keeping for years.
07:09he has kept
07:11me this.
07:13I have not left
07:15the lower ones,
07:17made of foam board.
07:19The worldly made
07:21doll are made of
07:25hand-made compound clay.
07:29Everything
07:31is hand-made.
07:33events in parcels
07:35are made by hand.
07:37It took me nearly three months to complete this.
07:41It takes me three months every year.
07:44The process of making dolls is based on the culture of each family.
07:50At the same time, we have sons-in-law, daughters-in-law and in-laws.
07:54This is because it is a festival where we harvest and celebrate.
08:00The culture is based on the tradition of Savitri Gowri.
08:04It has been in our family for nine years and nine days.
08:10During those nine days, if the gods play with us,
08:14we become gods and humans and feel happy.
08:18We can understand what kind of dolls we are in God's creation
08:23through the dolls we make.
08:25That is the culture.
08:27At this time, when the sun is setting,
08:33we make dolls and give them to the children.
08:36There is a plant called arka phalaram.
08:38It is also known as bugola.
08:41It is a heart-shaped fruit.
08:43If you put it on your head,
08:45you will lose your eyesight for a year.
08:49That is why we make dolls.
08:51In the same way, during this time,
08:54it is said that the amadram shrikas will come out.
08:57So, at this time, we make dolls and give them to everyone.
09:01This is a speciality of Sankranti.
09:04I told you that I make these dolls.
09:07This is a complete molding cloth.
09:09I also made chilakas.
09:11Chilakas and a small hen.
09:15All these are miniature art.
09:17I make these as a hobby and I feel happy.
09:22I make these for the people who want to know the culture.
09:27I am making a complete mythology.
09:30I used to make them for Australia.
09:33But now I am suggesting it to two friends.
09:37I chose these subjects because
09:40when our people learn about our mythology,
09:43our culture and our language,
09:45it will be useful for the people in the future.
09:52I came to my mother for Sankranti celebrations.
09:56I, my husband and my son.
09:58This year is a very special year because
10:01we are celebrating as a family.
10:04My sister-in-law got married recently.
10:07My sister-in-law, my brother and my family are celebrating together.
10:11Every year, my mother makes these dolls.
10:15They have been making them since I was born.
10:20They have been making them for the last 10 years.
10:24They have started making them so that the kids can understand.
10:28I have read a lot about Mahabharata and Ramayana in the textbooks.
10:33But my mother used to tell me what to do and what not to do.
10:37She used to tell me what to do and what not to do.
10:40Because of that, I have a lot of knowledge about India.
10:45How did Srinivasa Kalyanam happen?
10:48How did the seven hills start?
10:50How did Balaji take birth?
10:52Because my mother used to tell me all these things,
10:55I got an idea.
10:57This year, my mother has put a Sree Chakram.
11:04Universe.
11:10My mother has put a Sree Chakram this year.
11:13Basically, it is the theme of the universe.
11:15I didn't know that there are 64 colors.
11:18This year, after my mother put it, I got to know what it is and how it is.
11:22At the same time, we think of art forms as pottery, carpentry and these skills.
11:28But there are more than that.
11:31For example, learning different languages is an art form.
11:35Gambling is an art form.
11:42I got to know all these things this year.
11:45Every year, because of my mother's education in Indian mythology,
11:50we are benefiting and those who are coming are benefiting.
11:54Hopefully, we carry it forward to the next generations.
11:57My name is Manojna.
12:00We are settled in Hyderabad.
12:02My husband is Dr. Krishnakant.
12:04She is my sister-in-law, Dr. Vandita.
12:07My brother's name is Harsh.
12:09He is a lawyer. He is at work.
