#Thread In the run-up to #HandloomDay day, will do a series on motifs. A motif is a symbolic image that is repeated to create a visual narrative. The word comes from the French word for pattern. Motifs used in Indian textiles are inspired by nature, and culture #MyHandloomMyPride

Motifs on Indian textiles are inspired by architecture, scriptures, religious beliefs, flaura n fauna n abstract patterns. Motifs tell a story. They serve a symbolic purpose that is beyond fashion. The trefoil motif seen on the priest king’s shawl from #harappa #MyHandloomMyPride

The peacock is one of the earliest motifs we see in Indian art. Found on Sindhu-Saraswati civilisation era pottery, the peacock is considered to be a symbol of immortality, courtship, rebirth, romantic love and fertility. #MyHandloomMyPride
