The Aipan (Alpana) is a popular art form of Kumaon, and walls, papers and pieces of cloth are decorated by the drawing of various geometric and other figures belonging to gods, goddesses and objects of nature. Pichhauras or dupattas are also decorated in this manner. It is a traditional decorative art form used extensively to decorate floors and walls at the places of worship and entrances of homes. Aipan patterns and motifs are typical to the region of Kumaon. They are contemporarily used in souvenirs, coasters, vases, greeting cards, jewellery boxes, key rings, bookmarks, and wall tiles and as decoration on terracotta products. The attractive patterns and motifs also find their way into shawls, tablecloths, laminated sheets and bed sheets. शुभता और समृद्धि लाती है हमारी ऐपण View more posts
