Ratan Parimoo #Serigraphs

Badamwadi

Ballon Seller

Perhaps from the time parks were made for children, the balloon man exists. After all both compliment each other so well. At Badamwadi too, children flocked in looking at the balloons.It was sort of mandate for parents to buy balloons for their children at Badamwadi. Almost as if it was the entry pass for children before they entered the garden. I still remember… the balloon man who used to be ready with balloons in all shapes and sizes for us. Over the years he not only called us by our names but he also knew the taste and preferences the children had.  No one quite knew his name, all we knew was that we fondly called him chachaji!

Kahwa

It was never a good morning in Badamwadi, if you missed the morning Kahwa! The tea culture has always been a part of the Kashmiri household.

Lunch Time

The morning soon settles down into afternoon and its time for the traditional family lunch. The mothers got busy serving delicious  kashmiri rotis which were made from wheat flour combined with aromatic spices. Like all other Kashmiri preparations, this roti too had a delicate blend of spices, which were roasted and coarsely ground to enhance the individual flavor of each and every spice used. These rotis used to be so delectable that they could be eaten on their own but I always preferred it with a sweet and sour tomato pickle.

Hukka in the Evening

Soon the chilly evening sets in Badamwadi just as the setting sun disappears in the thick branches of the almond trees. The smoke of the Hookah blends in with the aromas of Kahwa and relaxes both the young and the old. The hookah and the Kahwa rounds never quiet ended but it was always a perfect end to a day of indulgence with family and friends. We didn’t have photographs to preserve this memory, but all we did was to look forward to spending another splendid day at Badamwadi the next week to keep refreshing our memories before we forget!

Hide and Seek

As almond branches laden with purple white flowers spread their faint fragrance, we children ran around it grabbing both the flower and the fruit. We never felt the need of any additional props like balls and bats to have a good time at the Badamwadi. The almond trees themselves offered a variety of games which we could play – like playing hide and seek behind the trunks of the trees or jumping from one tree to another - acting like langurs!

Kahwa II

When you come across sweet fragrances of flowers, you know you are in a garden. But Badamwadi was different. It adorned the aroma of Kahwa. Kahwa is said to have been consumed in the Kashmir valley from time immemorial. Every day early in the morning, just before the rush hour begins at Badamwadi, these Kashmiri women used to prepare the traditional tea by boiling green tea leaves with saffron – the queen of spices, cinnamon bark and cardamom pods & occasionally Kashmiri roses.  Traditionally, they prepared it in a brass kettle known as a samovar. A samovar consists of a "fire-container" running as a central cavity, in which live coals are placed keeping the tea perpetually hot. Around the fire-container there is a space for water to boil and the tea leaves and other ingredients are mixed with the water for a perfect blend that will make your day.

Game of Cards

For the men in those days, their extended family itself was their social network. Cousins and neighbors within the same neighborhood bonded as brothers. On their week off, as they enjoy the warmth of the setting sun, they sat down in circles below the Almond trees to play a few hands in the game of Rummy. Off course, I never remember any money or gambling being involved in any of the games as they were meant for relaxation.

Kahva III

While the men indulged in the puffs of the hookah, the women indulged in their sweet talks about the town. It was that time of the week, when women were given the freedom to socialize with other women and giggle to their heart’s content! Within the group the elderly women took up the role of the advisory council who shared their vast experience in dealing with household problems, cooking, embroidery, family values, raising children, religion, poetry and art; whereas the younger women would provide the required entertainment by singing spontaneously.

Shikara No. 1956
India's most awarded serigraph studio brings you, another picturesque limited edition of Shri Ratan Parimoo. Originally created in 1956, Shikara No.1956 is a fine example of a landscape setting with colored patches in a two dimensional language.

The precision and fluency of calligraphic lines and the use of emotions, played through colors forms the center stage of this serigraph. Originally from Kashmir, the master of composition has painted a charming view of a corner at Dal lake, the mountains and the lush green chinar trees in the background with a sailing Shikara.  

Since 2009, Marvel Graphic Studio has always brought you serigraphs of eminent artist's and artworks from their finest series which are awarded and appreciated across the globe in auctions, museums and amongst private collectors. 

Signed and numbered limited edition serigraphs from Marvel Graphic Studio not only gives monetary appreciation over the years but also helps appreciating Fine Arts. By gifting Shikara No.1956 to your loved ones, you not just help them décor walls but also imbibe a memory of your relationship to cherish for a lifetime.

Bringing the atmosphere alive of the 60 year old original work was itself very challenging. The original work was created in water colours. The artist has this unique style of painting where he applies the colour patches where he wishes to and then draws the linear outlines instead of the traditional way.

Following a similar process and technique of brush strokes and by balancing tonal qualities of colours in rhythmic manner, the composition looks subtle. Hence one can feel the similar quality of lines, shapes, water colours, volume and space in serigraph.
