Fêtes des couleurs en Inde

  Chaque année, Holi est fêtée partout en Inde, du Nord au Sud, ainsi que par les communautés indiennes à l’étranger. Cette fête religieuse hindoue, qui marque la fin de l’hiver et le début du printemps, est célébrée au cours de la pleine lune du mois de Phâlguna (février-mars). Le jour de Holi, tout le monde se jette des poudres et de l’eau colorées dessus. Holi a lieu le 8 mars. Alors préparez-vous.  L’origine de la fête Comme de nombreuses célébrations en Inde, Holi tire son origine de la mythologie hindoue. La légende raconte que le roi Hiranyakashipu régnait en despote, semant le trouble autour de lui. Fier et arrogant, il exigeait que tout le monde se prosterne à ses pieds. Malheureusement pour lui, son propre fils Prahlad lui préférait le dieu Vishnull. Hiranyakashipu voulut alors se débarrasser de son fils. Il essaya plusieurs fois de le tuer mais en vain. Il demanda alors de l’aide à sa sœur Holika, qui avait le don particulier de ne pas craindre le feu. Le roi d...

L'impression au bloc est l'un des plus anciens types de gravure en Inde. Les professionels impriment des longueurs de tissu, généralement sur du coton ou de la soie, avec des blocs de bois sculptés à la main. L'impression commence par le dessin dessiné sur papier puis transféré au crayon sur le bloc de teck. Le design est méticuleusement sculpté à la main à l'aide d'un marteau et d'un burin. Parfois, un bloc de laiton ou de cuivre est utilisé pour les tirages fins. Les patines ou tables d'impression mesurent plusieurs mètres de long et sont soigneusement préparées avec des couches de toile de jute et de tissu de base pour amortir la surface, permettant aux colorants d'être absorbés uniformément. Le tissu à imprimer est tendu sur la table d'impression et f...
