Toran: An ornament that makes Diwali colorful!

- Will Asopalav have any old relationship with Toran?

What are the five elements of The Wali? What are the five elements of this festival of light? Lamps, rangoli, firecrackers, three are unanimously counted. Then? Greetings and cleaning? Shopping and sweets? Vada and Lakshmi Pujan?

In the fifth of these elections, we have to fight like the American president, but the fourth one is like an appointed member, about which nothing is written anywhere: Toran! There is only one paragraph about it in Gujarati encyclopedia. There are seventeen meanings in Bhagavad Gita, most of which are irrelevant. Online is just a desert about the elements of our culture. Kneeling one by one, but not giving any specially modified information.

Sample. Written on a site. Why is the toran Asopalavana? After reading this, Poonam's tide rose in our curiosity. Then the five slides are written in four paragraphs: The pylon is placed on the door in India. The pylon is a decoration. The toran is made of Asopalav. Asopalav is considered sacred. Blah blah blah. Done.

Hey, tell me, why only Asopalav? If you ask a scholar, he will scratch his head and say, go ahead. That's all there is to it. When? Where from The Buddhist stupas of stone have carvings like Asopalav. So will Asopalav have any old relationship with Toran? Why not Piplo, not Mango and Asopalav?

Well, literally Ram knows the true and false of the relationship. Also needs a logic. The Ashoka tree is mentioned in many works in Sanskrit literature. The Ashoka tree is considered by some scholars to be a different kind of spring flowering tree. The Ashoka tree with orange flowers has Ayurvedic healing leaves. The metaphorical version of it has come and can be seen everywhere in India, that is Asopalav! Sita was kept in Ashokavatika. The one who mourns is Ashoka, a true symbol of holiness. Ramakatha is directly related to Diwali, so why not Asopalav's toran via Ashoka? After all, Ayodhyanagari is adorned with lamps on the arrival of Ram-Sita, there must be a toran in it!

There is a better explanation for those who are interested in logical explanations than the stories of our heritage. Toran Asopalavana is made more from the past, apparently because it is a tree that grows easily all over the country. Adornment is found in many places. Therefore, the 'availability' of the page is not a problem for ordinary people. In addition, a slight ripple in the wind from the curved edge of the leaf. Which are specially erected in some scientifically rotating wind chimes! If you have colorful flowers like yellow-orange or rose like dark Golgotha ​​with dark green golden leaves, then there will be a great contrast effect in eco-friendly style. Toran Genda Phool U No!

Well, you see, once in Navratri, the details that were not printed anywhere in India were written on Chanyacholi, this Diwali, almost all the people in the house greeted someone at their doorsteps.

What to look for in a garland?

The first thing to do is the door. The interesting thing is that the English door, the Persian rate and the Hindi door are all words that look the same! Would have been born from Sanskrit? There is a gate in the name of Krishna's Dwarkanagari.

The toran crystal is mentioned in the Mahabharata. (The word Phatak is believed to have come from this crystal word. As Ghat came from Ghat, it had a rhythm like a gate!) Duryodhana, seeing the Indraprastha of Maidanav, got himself angry and built a toran crystal there. It is not a new surprise that we have pylons all over the stone gates. If he has seen the glorious pylon of Vadnagar, which has the status of a cultural symbol in the Gujarat government, why can't he forget it? Vadnagar is considered to be an ancient town thousands of years old. There are also Buddhist relics in excavations. While welcoming Chinese President Xi Jinping, Narendra Modi is believed to have visited Chinese tourist Hu N San (who is from Xinping's hometown) and called it Anandnagar. Built by the kings of the Solanki dynasty in the 16th century, this majestic stone arch is like a patterned carved gate. Which is also in places like 'Toran' Modhera and Siddhpur.

The stone garlands made by these sculptors have statues of gods and goddesses in addition to beautiful carvings. The second toran of Vadnagar, which was broken, was rebuilt a decade and a half ago. It can be assumed that the flower-leaf garlands look like the homes of ordinary people, which wither in two-three days. But kings make permanent stone garlands that meet the need for an entrance to a village or temple. Actually the connection of Vadnagar to the Chinese Buddhist traveler is seen differently. Sino-Korean temples have such 'gates' of a certain ghat. In Japan it is called 'Tori'? Tori means bird sanctuary in Japanese! In the Lakshmi temple of Khajuraho, there is such a glorious carved toran.

Such a toran called arch in English is famous for the Shiva temple of Mukteshwar at Bhubaneswar in Orissa. The arch of this archway came first in the Buddhist stupa of Sanchi, which is hard to say in Hindu states like Gujarat. Toran is also called Bandanwar in Rajasthan. The Bandarwal garlands of Bengal are well known. The ritual of hanging garlands is common in weddings. In some regions, the bridegroom's entry was made by striking the wooden parrot's garland with a sword. There are new stories about it. From killing the Torila monster's creature to a parrot, to the naughty princess saying 'Go, the parrot will take you away', to the angry parrot who came as a candidate and then to the bald parrot! The whole army of parrots then attacked the princess's wedding pavilion, and promised to bow down to her in exchange for an apology, so it is believed that parrots fluttered like peacocks on a special toad in the doorway!

Today, if for some reason the soul returns without marriage, it is called 'back to the green toran'! Meaning, get lost from the door, sent away saying variable feet! This idiom is used to describe the escape of a U-turn at the beginning of a work. We used to hang curtains with pearl or glass beaded toran curtains or curtains with a pattern of semi-hexagonal triangles that man could go through. So that if the door is open, you can't look inside immediately! A woman's ornament, like a garland-shaped necklace, is called a garland. Zanzar with a garland-shaped petal / frame-shaped curls is called a garland chain. The fort of Torana is also connected with Shivaji in history. The aorta is called the torani in the heart of the aorta.

Ne toraniyu ghas pan thatu! In many places grass pots are used to collect leaves and flowers in garlands.

Narasimha Mehta has written the story of building a pylon in Raliyamani today, raising my Valaji to Motide. The use of pearls instead of vegetation in the garlands was 'trendy' in the villages till now. Then came the age of colorful glass beetles. Then came the thin sheets of metal, the Buddhist monasteries in Bhutan-Tibet have triangular colored flags. M. to build the door as an auspicious sign. The pylon was made of plastic as Sita reached the YouTube video from the live chorus of songs sung by Toran Ram Padharya, and the latest trend is now the pylon of colorful dadula and toys. Which also has long strands at both ends!

There are so many researches in our life, and there are so many changes in it that no one has signed it. It's Like Journey of Collective Consciousness of Mankind. The pylon is such a gift, to our world. On Diwali, the toran welcomes Mahalakshmi, that is, prosperity. It is only natural that the house should be neat, tidy, brightly lit, decorated with colorful decorations, where the family enjoys feasting with relatives and friends on a permanent basis, wealth, prosperity and happiness. Rudu toran is decorated on Diwali to welcome Lakshmi following this room zum kumkum.

While the art of making toran by hand is disappearing like the art of shaking the head by hand, there are many specialist artisans of making toran. If one makes a pearl or wire embroidery, then one makes it with flowers like mango-asopalav leaves, karen-jasud-golgota. If we buy from him, a little Lakshmi will come to his hardworking house. Customized garlands are considered to be the identity of the housewife. But due to lack of it, readymade garlands have come. In European countries it was customary to hang certain flowers on the door to prevent or detect the entry of evil-demonic elements. We caught the talk of the entry of auspicious elements. Architects give the shapes of the pylons according to the direction of the door. But it is like studying the colors like red, green, orange, yellow, pujanarchan's kanku saffron sandalwood like Abil Gulal, which has a magical effect on the eye.

Vimal Agarwal's poem 'Sambharan Yane' speaks of memories like 'Ubhadak jive barsakh par sukka torane zule, surajnu kheli rai lai ichcha adhala khule'. Special fabrics for garlands and handicrafts are thriving micro-enterprises. Well, the 'Chinese garlands' have not yet arrived. If we have come, we will not be able to find any flashy designs in our puffs. Many WhatsApp forwarded messages are saddened by reading 'Happiness hangs on the door' and deletes it with a single bomb!

Well, we don't have a festival without the hustle and bustle of the blasts. The rest of the Diwali elements are a bit loud, like fireworks. The rangoli gets instant photogenic attention from the colors and the position of the door and the light of the lamp. The toran is often like a mobhi running away from home. Even though the main chic of the house is standing, hardly anyone pays attention to it. Even if not, the need to stumble a little means just feel empty. Meaning, ahead. Is upright. Is majestic. But its absence behaves more like love than its presence!

Why is there no movement of hashtags in Kovidkaal when the love for Toran is manifested instead of the hashtags of hatred? Don't upload photos of new 'Toran Ideas' made or decorated at home? Or as an activity, do not do learning activities by making a knot in a bead-pearl or a leaf-flower garland? It's real and pure Indian culture. Talking about Indian culture only to be annoyed and hurt? Shouldn't it be celebrated in such a flood? If this happens, like Gokha, the toran gets 'acceleration', acceleration!

Simply, the garland is welcome. There is acceptance. Sweet warmth is a welcome. He not only shouts for joy and pomp of the house, but he also shares it with you, saying that you are no different from him and welcomes Zuli Zumi! Take a look, tilt and welcome to the entry point of Diwali Festival!

Xing Thing

To be happy in life. Pray at festivals not to be confused with the world of white clothes (politician, doctor), black clothes (court, lawyer) and khaki clothes (police)! (Rashmi Kant Bhalodia)
