00:00Are you ready?
00:02My name is Vijayashree.
00:04I am a Vastaviram from Vijayawada.
00:06I have been making these dolls for the past 30 years.
00:10I have been doing this for the past 70 years.
00:13Today I am making a new doll.
00:16Tomorrow is Sankranti.
00:18I will be here for 3 days.
00:20I have been making these dolls for the past 30 years.
00:24I am making them according to a theme.
00:26Earlier, I have made Bharata, Bhagavatha and Ramayana.
00:30Since we are at Durga Temple this year,
00:34I have been watching the channel of Sri Yantrao Nandur Srinivasa.
00:38As per his instructions,
00:40I have made all the Kadgamala deities in Sri Chakra
00:44in 9 avaranas.
00:47Since the Goddess is the basis for all,
00:53I have made 3 avaranas out of the 14 avaranas she has created.
00:58The first one is Devalokam.
01:00It has higher conscious people.
01:03The second one is Bhulokam.
01:05It is time bound.
01:08It has temples, houses, gardens and fields.
01:11The third one is Patadalokam.
01:13It has people who are jealous and evil.
01:17I have made 3 avaranas out of it.
01:20Out of the 14 avaranas,
01:22Bhulokam is the 7th avarana.
01:24Since I don't have enough space to make 14 avaranas,
01:28I have made 3 avaranas.
01:30The Goddess has 64 types of archanas.
01:33We can do 64 types of archanas by singing or dancing.
01:38I have made 64 types of archanas.
01:41Vatsayan has written 64 types of archanas.
01:45He is a great scholar of India.
01:50Out of the 64 types of archanas he has written,
01:5324 types of archanas have been presented in the 3rd chapter.
01:58Many people don't know what are the 64 types of archanas.
02:03I have studied about it for a month.
02:06I have tried to show the 64 types of archanas.
02:10Making handmade dolls is my passion and hobby.
02:14I have made all the dolls except the one I have made.
02:18I have shown all the archanas in detail.
02:24When it comes to Sri Chakra,
02:27there are two types of it.
02:29To increase the spirituality of the Goddess,
02:32In the 9 avaranas,
02:3411 and 2 are encapsulated.
02:38In the 11 avaranas,
02:40when we go up from the ground,
02:42when we go up,
02:44we feel enlightened.
02:48When we come down from the ground,
02:52from the Andan stage,
02:54to the Pindan stage,
02:56to the Bidadi stage,
02:58is present in Sri Chakra.
03:00We have heard a lot about attractive deities,
03:02sensory issues, autism, etc.
03:06If we look at the Ammavardhana,
03:08we can see that
03:10there is a Swamini for each chakra.
03:14There is a yogini next to her.
03:17For 9 chakras,
03:19there are 9 yoginis next to her.
03:21In the Pinduva chakra,
03:23there is Lalita Parameshwara.
03:25In the 8th chakra,
03:27there are 8 deities,
03:2914, 10, etc.
03:31In total, I have shown 102 deities.
03:33Like that,
03:35under the Ammavardhana prasadam,
03:37I have made coconut chappals,
03:39aritipallu, cherukgadalu,
03:41everything by hand.
03:43If you look at it,
03:45you will know.
03:47Varahi, Mata, Durga,
03:49there are Navadurgas too.
03:51All of them are handmade.
03:53When you come home,
03:55you will see the old-fashioned
03:57drawings,
03:59paintings,
04:01songs, dance,
04:03the mentality of the kids
04:05who want to come first or second.
04:07Everything is done by hand.
04:09It is also an art form.
04:11Even I was surprised
04:13when I was studying it.
04:15In the summer season,
04:17they put aside the summer season.
04:19In the winter season,
04:21they put aside the winter season.
04:23Now, the kids play
04:25dhamsharas too.
04:27Like that,
04:29the language of the birds
04:31is also an art form.
04:33So, I have depicted
04:35everything in it.
04:37The reason for doing all this
04:39is to put mythology.
04:41For the next generation,
04:43it will be forwarded to education.
04:45So, I have put it as a hobby.
04:47Before that, I used to put
04:49bulls and other animals.
04:51Now, every year,
04:53I take a theme.
04:55According to that theme,
04:57I have put Vaikuntham,
04:59Tirupati,
05:01Sree Chakra Yantra,
05:03and Mullokaal Universe.
05:05I have taken it as a theme this year.
05:09The reason for putting it today
05:11is because
05:13Bhogi Sankranti is a big festival
05:15for the Telugu people.
05:17So, for Sankranti,
05:19we have a tradition of putting dolls.
05:21There is a grandson of Bhogi Pallu.
05:23For the grandson of Bhogi Pallu,
05:25today,
05:27we have a tradition of
05:29parenting and putting dolls.
05:31We have a tradition of putting
05:33Savitri Gowri dolls.
05:35Tamil Nadu people
05:37do it in October.
05:39We do it for Sankranti.
05:41So, I put dolls
05:43every year for Sankranti.
05:45For Sankranti.
05:49I have put this art form
05:51to show our culture
05:53to the people
05:55who come here.
05:57My son,
05:59daughter-in-law,
06:01my husband,
06:03my son-in-law,
06:05my son-in-law,
06:07my son-in-law,
06:09my son-in-law,
06:11my son-in-law,
06:17About dolls.
06:23There is a tradition of
06:25putting dolls in the houses.
06:27To show
06:29our culture,
06:31I have put
06:33dolls in the houses.
06:37I am happy
06:39and I think the people watching
06:41will also be happy.
06:43Art is for happiness.
06:45Science is for science.
06:47That is why I took this path.
06:51I have kept the dolls
06:53which I have been
06:55putting for years.
06:57I have kept the dolls
06:59which I have been

07:05which I have been

07:09I have kept the dolls

07:24I have kept the dolls
07:27which I have been
07:29I have made everything with my own hands.
07:33I have made all the things for my mother.
07:37It took me three months to make all these.
07:41It takes three months every year.
07:44Each family has its own way of making dolls.
07:50At the same time, we have our sons, daughters, daughters-in-law.
07:54It is a festival where we get to harvest and celebrate.
08:00We have a tradition of making Savitri Gowri dolls.
08:07It takes nine years and nine days.
08:10During those nine days, if the gods play with us,
08:14we humans and the gods will be happy.
08:18We can understand how the gods created the Kheelu dolls.
08:24We have a tradition of doing that.
08:27When the sun is about to set,
08:33we take off the dish and give it to the children.
08:36It is called Arka Phalaram.
08:38It is also known as Bhoogola.
08:41It is a heart-shaped fruit.
08:43If you put it on top of your head,
08:46you will lose your eyesight.
08:49That is why we put it on top of our head.
08:52It is also known as the day when Amadram Shrikas will come out.
08:57It is a sacred tradition to take off the dish and give it to everyone.
09:04I told you about making the dolls.
09:07I have made the Chilakas with the complete molding cloth.
09:11I have made the Chilakas and a small hen.
09:15All of these are miniature art.
09:18I make them as a hobby.
09:22I make them so that the people who come before me know about the culture.
09:27I am making a complete mythology.
09:31I used to make them in Australia,
09:34but now I am suggesting it to two of my friends.
09:38I have chosen these subjects so that people know about our mythology and our culture.
09:52I came to my mother for the Sankranti celebrations.
09:56I, my husband and my son.
09:58This year is a very special year because we are celebrating as a family.
10:04My brother got married recently.
10:07We are celebrating as a family.
10:11My mother used to make these dolls every year.
10:15She has been making them since I was born.
10:19She started making them in a mythological way since the last 10 years.
10:24She started making them so that the children can understand.
10:28I have little knowledge about the Mahabharata and Ramayana.
10:33But my mother used to tell me everything about the Mahabharata and Ramayana.
10:40That gave me a lot of knowledge about India.
10:45She used to tell me how Srinivas Kalyanam happened,
10:48how the seven hills started,
10:50and how Balaji was born.
10:53I got an idea because my mother used to tell me.
10:57This year, my mother has put up a Sree Chakram.
11:04Universe.
11:10My mother has put up a Sree Chakram this year.
11:12It is a theme of the universe.
11:15I didn't know that there were 64 colors like this.
11:18This year, after my mother put it up, I came to know about it.
11:22Also, at the same time,
11:24we think of art forms as pottery, carpentry, and these skills.
11:29But there are more.
11:32For example, learning different languages is an art form.
11:40Playing cards, gambling is an art form.
11:43I came to know about all these this year.
11:45So, every year, my mother has put up a Sree Chakram
11:48related to Indian mythology.
11:51We are benefiting from it.
11:53Those who are coming are benefiting from it.
11:55Hopefully, we carry it forward to the next generations.
