The mother is ambitame Sarasvati which was the navigable channel, the highway which transported the seafaring vessels on the river channels and across the Rann of Kutch through the Persian Gulf, the Tigris-Euphrates Doab and the Mediterranean coastline of Ancient Near East. I had also suggested that the message conveyed by the artifact as a representation of smiths' guild, an artists' rendering of the extended family traveling on the bull-boat, a veneration of the ancestors - of the family -, led by the great mother: cf. Emanuela Sibilia for a scintillting pictorial essay intimating the Adhyatmika framework which governed the peoples' lives of 3rd millennium BCE. I had complimented Massimo Vidale and Dr. See: Lady of the spiked throne (Massimo Vidale 2011).

These indicators of respect for women are a continuum in Vedic and Hindu traditions. Facets of the civilization in relation to culture, religion and temple in Sarasvati civilization have been presented in: These facets are complemented by the veneration of 'mother divinities': Mehrgarh: Terracotta figurines from Fourth period (period VII, courtesy: Jarrige) Mohenjo-daro bronze figurine of a lady holding a deepam. Ganesha signifies tri-dhAtu and Kubera signifies wealth in the early phases of the Bronze Age Revolution exemplified by Indus Script Corpora as metalwork catalogues, artefacts of Sarasvati-Sindhu civilization from 8th millennium BCE and the metaphors of chandas in vedic texts resonant with knowledge systems. Benzaiten also known as Benten-sama (Hindu equivalent: Sarasvati), is seen in association with Kangiten (Ganesha) and Bishamonten (Kubera). It is a stunning, awe-inspiring cultural syncretism that Benzaiten of China-Japan is a synonym of Vedic Sarasvati and has ALL the attributes of Sarasvati defined in an ancient text, Rigveda. Veda is the quintessence of ज्ञानम्, an unceasing inquiry, a process of knowing cosmic and consciousness phenomena - manifest, unmanifest, being and becoming. This phenomenon is a tribute to ज्ञानम्, 'knowledge system' held in high esteem in the pilgrimage of civilizations. Pop ups can be made of several pieces glued together.A breath-taking phenomenon unparalleled in the story of human civilization is the veneration of Benzaiten as Sarasvati (Rigveda), Arədvī Sūrā Anāhitā (Avestan), spanning millennia and also a vast geographical space of Eurasia. Kirigami are usually symmetrical, such as snowflakes, pentagrams, or orchid blossoms.Ī difference between kirigami and the art of "pop-up" is that kirigami is made out of a single piece of paper that has been cut into a design. Typically, kirigami starts with a folded base, which is then cut cuts are then opened and flattened to make the finished kirigami.

Kirigami-is a variation of origami that includes cutting of the paper (from Japanese " kiru" = to cut, " kami" = paper), rather than solely folding the paper as is the case with origami. Modern origami practitioners generally discourage the use of cuts, glue, or markings on the paper. The goal is to transform a flat sheet square of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. In modern usage, the word "origami" is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin.

Origami- from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper" ( kami changes to gami) is the art of paper folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture.
