INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE (ICH)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GARBA OF GUJARAT
During the Hindu festival of Navaratri, which honors the feminine element known
as "Shakti," garba is a ceremonial and devotional dance that is performed. The
dance is performed around an image of the mother goddess Amba or a perforated
ceramic pot that is illuminated by an oil lamp. The dancers use basic moves to
move in a counterclockwise circle around the center, clapping their hands in
unison and singing.The word garba comes from the Sanskrit word for womb and so
implies gestation or pregnancy — life. Traditionally, the dance is performed
around a clay lantern with a light inside, called a Garbha Deep ("womb lamp").
This lantern represents life, and the fetus in the womb in particular. The
dancers thus honor Durga, the feminine form of divinity.Garba is performed in a
circle as a symbol of the Hindu view of time. The rings of dancers revolve in
cycles, as time in Hindu is cyclical. As the cycle of time revolve, from birth,
to life, to death and again to rebirth, the only thing that is constant is the
Goddess, that one unmoving symbol in the midst of all of this unending and
infinite movement. The dance symbolizes that God, represented in feminine form
in this case, is the only thing that remains unchanging in a constantly changing
universe (jagat).The Garbha Deep has another symbolic interpretation. The vessel
itself is a symbol of the body, within whom Divinity (in the form of the
Goddess) resides. Garba is danced around this symbol to honour the fact that all
humans have the Divine energy of Devi within them.Modern GarbaModern Garba is
also heavily influenced by Dandiya Raas (Gujar?t?: ??????? ???), a dance
traditionally performed by men. The merger of these two dances has formed the
high-energy dance that is seen today.[2]Both men and women usually wear colorful
clothes while performing garba and dandiya. The girls and the women wear Chaniya
choli, a three-piece dress with a choli, which is an embroidered and colorful
blouse, teamed with chaniya, which is the flared, skirt-like bottom, with
intricate work and dupatta, which is usually worn in the traditional Gujarati
manner. Chaniya Cholis are decorated with beads, shells, mirrors, stars,
embroidery work, mati, etc. Traditionally, women adorn themselves with jhumkas
(large earrings), necklaces, bindi, bajubandh, chudas and kangans, kamarbandh,
payal, and mojiris. Boys and men wear kafni pyjamas with a Ghagra - a short
round kurta - above the knees and pagadi on the head with bandhini dupatta,
kada, and mojiris. In Gujarati, these clothes worn by men is
called 'Kediyu'. Over the years, the interest in Garba has only increased. There
is a huge interest in Garba among the youth of India and in particular, the
Gujarati diaspora. Traditionally, this dance is performed in concentric circles
and the entire group performs once step in sync, with the beat starting slow and
slowly catching on speed.Garba and Dandiya Raas are also popular in the United
States where more than 20 universities have Raas/Garba competitions on a huge
scale every year with professional choreography. The Canadian city
of Toronto now hosts North America's largest annual garba by number of
attendees.[3] Garba is also very popular in the United Kingdom where there are a
number of Gujarati communities who hold their own Garba nights and widely
popular among the Gujarati community worldwide.

CERAMIC ARTS IN UZBEKISTAN
Ceramic art is one of the earliest types of applied art in Uzbekistan, which has
deposits of loess clay, including pottery clay. The technique is used to
manufacture big household goods utilized in rural communities' daily lives,
including as enormous containers for storing food and water, tandoor ovens,
jugs, and toys. Traditionally, knowledge about creating ceramic art was passed
down informally within families, from father to son and grandfather to grandson.
More About
SCISSORS DANCE (DANZA DE LAS TIJERAS)
The scissors dance is done by residents of Quechua villages and communities in
Peru's south-central Andes, as well as in cities today. This competitive ritual
dance is conducted throughout the dry months, which coincide with the main
phases of the agricultural cycle. The scissors dance is named for the pair of
polished iron rods that each dancer wields in his right hand, which resemble
scissors blades. A dancer, along with a violinist and harpist, makes a cuadrilla
(team) to symbolize a specific hamlet or community.
