BUDDHA Avatar - Dasavataram - kondapalli dolls

BUDDHA Avatar 

In BUDDHA Avatar, Lord Vishnu incarnates himself as BUDDHA, the ascetic prince who renounced the throne to lead the world on the path of peace. 

He is the founder of the BUDDHIST religion prominent across the world. In certain sects of Hinduism, he is considered to be a divine incarnation of Lord Vishnu. 

He was born the crown prince of the Kapilavastu to Suddhodana and Maya. He was named Siddhartha, meaning "All thing fulfilled" by the king.

But his mother died soon after his birth but Prajapati, the sister of Maya, brought Siddhartha up.

Buddha was saddened by death of living creatures, since his childhood days and used to question: "Alas! Do all living creatures kill each other?" He wasn't happy with any answers that were provided to him and he decided to find out the meaning and the absolute truth and he left his wife and child to a hermit's life in the forest and one day, became the enlightened one.

His preaching spawned off the religion of Buddhism now popular across the whole world.

VARAHA Avatar - Dasavataram - kondapalli dolls


VARAHA Avatar

In VARAHA Avatar, Lord Vishnu incarnates himself as a boar in this world.

A demon Hiranyaksha, had prayed for Lord Brahma and got awarded a boon that no beast nor man nor god could kill him. 

But somehow from the list of beasts the name of boar was missing. This proved to be his lacunae.

He then started a campaign of plunder across the worlds. He pushed the world to the Pataal loka, or the under of the sea.

He stole the Vedas, the holy scriptures from the Lord Brahma, while he was asleep and performed huge atrocities.

To retrieve the Vedas and to save the world the Lord Vishnu assumed the role of a boar and brought out the earth from the under of the ocean, using its two tusks.

It then killed Hiranyaksha and retrieved the Vedas from the asura and brought it back to the safe custody of the Lord Brahma.

KURMA Avatar - Dasavataram - kondapalli dolls

KURMA Avatar 

In KURMA Avatar, Lord Vishnu incarnates himself as a turtle.

It is an interesting story involving both the gods (devtas) and asuras (demons).

In the ongoing saga of battle between the gods and asuras, on one occasion the gods suddenly lost all their strength due to a curse by the short-tempered sage Durvasa.

The sage had once presented a garland of flowers to Indra, king of gods, who carelessly gave it away to his elephant which trampled it.

The Devtas approached Vishnu for help.

Vishnu then asked them to churn the ocean of milk after adding medicines into the ocean.

Mount Mandara could be used a the churning stick he said.

He requested them to ask them help of Asuras in lifting the mountain in exchange for offer of the share of nectar of immortality that would ensue from the churning.

Both the devatas and the asuras churned the ocean using the serpent Vasuki as the rope. At the start, playing a Machiavellian trick, Indra, king of the gods asked the asuras for the head end of vasuki. But asuras suspecting foul play, took the head end, only to be deceived as the poison from Vasuki was slowly weakening them.

But as churning was proceeding the mountain was sinking and then Lord Vishnu took the form of the turtle KURMA and kept the mountain afloat.

As soon as the bowl of amrita, the nectar of immortality was out, the asuras grabbed it.

Then Lord Vishnu took the form of an apsara, a beautiful maiden, and seduced the asuras into letting her distribute the nectar and also to abide by her order of distribution.

As soon as the devatas were served the maiden disappeared thus totally deceiving the asuras and making them totally weak.

Gooti -Billa, karra billa ,kitti -pul , chinni-dandu - kondapalli dolls or kondapalli bommalu

Gilli-Danda is an amateur sport played in the rural areas and small towns all over Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as Cambodia, Turkey and Italy.

The game is played with two sticks:

a large one called a danda, which is used to hit

a smaller one, the gilli.

Gilli Danda is an ancient sport of India, possibly with origins over 2500 years ago

It is believed to be the origin of Western games such as cricket, baseball and softball

Gilli Danda is known by various other names:

 it is called Tipcat in English,

Dandi-Biyo (डण्डी बियो) in Nepali,

guli-badi (ଗୁଲି ବାଡ଼ି) in Odia (regional vatiaons dabalapua ଡାବଲପୁଆ and ପିଲବାଡ଼ି pilabadi in Phulbani and Guti-Dabula ଗୁଟିଡାବୁଳ in Balasore)

alak-doulak (الک دولک) in Persian

dānggűli (ডাঙ্গুলি) in Bengali & Assamese,

chinni-dandu in Kannada

kuttiyum kolum in Malayalam,

viti-dandu विट्टी दांडू in Marathi,

Koyando-bal(कोयंडो बाल) in Konkani,

kitti-pul (கிட்டி-புல்) in Tamil,

Gooti-Billa or Karra-Billa or Billam-Godu' or 'chirra-gonay'(in telangana) in Telugu,

Gulli-Danda'(ਗੁੱਲ਼ੀ ਡੰਡਾ)' in Punjabi

Rules to play ...

Gilli Danda" is played with two pieces of equipment - a danda, being a long wooden stick, and a gilli, a small oval-shaped piece of wood.

Standing in a small circle, the player balances the gilli on a stone in an inclined manner (somewhat like a see-saw) with one end of the gilli touching the ground while the other end is in the air.

The player then uses the danda to hit the gilli at the raised end, which flips it into the air.

While it is in the air, the player strikes the gilli, hitting it as far as possible. Having struck the gilli, the player is required to run and touch a pre-agreed point outside the circle before the gilli is retrieved by an opponent.

This aspect of the game is similar to runs in cricket or baseball.

There is no official maximum number of players or teams. Gilli-danda can be played where each individual plays for themselves, or between two teams.

Scoring and out...

The gilli becomes airborne after it is struck.

If a fielder from the opposing team catches the gilli, the striker is out.

If the gilli lands on the ground, the fielder closest to the gilli has one chance to hit the danda (which has to be placed on top of the circle used) with a throw (similar to a run out in cricket).

If the fielder is successful, the striker is out; if not, the striker scores one point and gets another opportunity to strike.

The team (or individual) with the most points wins the game. If the striker fails to hit the gilli in three tries, the striker is out (similar to a strikeout in baseball).

After the gilli has been struck, the opposing players need to return to the circle or, in the best case, catch it in mid-air without its hitting the ground - this was believed to have later evolved into a Catch Out in cricket and baseball.

Skills Needed...

This traditional Indian game requires exceptional hand-eye coordination, ability to catch and strong wrists.

Variations...

As an amateur youth sport, gilli-danda has many regional variations.

In some versions, the n

The distance is measured in terms of the length of the danda, or in some cases the length of the gilli.

Scoring also depends on how many times the gilli was hit in the air in one strike.

If it travels a certain distance with two mid-air strikes, the total points are doubled.If the gilli is not struck far enough the player has to pick it up and try again.

The Hunter And The Doves - kondapalli dolls, or kondapalli bommalu

working for moral stories concept is not a simple thing.
When we got an opportunity to work we also have to study the story part too...
we have worked on pigeons and hunter or The Hunter And The Doves
A story from Panchatantra.

There are lot of versions available in the net

one version is...
Flocks of pigeons lived on a Banyan tree. one day the pigeons were flying in search of food they saw plenty of grains on the ground.
but its a hunter's trap

second version is...
Flocks of pigeons lived on a Banyan tree...a hunter came and saw the birds spread the net ...pigeons fell in the trap...

Third version is...
A long time ago, there was a huge banyan tree that stood at the outskirts of a small village. Many kinds of birds had their nests on this tree. Travellers, too, used to stop by for rest under the tree’s shade.
One day, a fowler happened to come to the tree. He saw that many types of birds lived there. So, he set up his net below the tree and scattered a few grains of rice to attract the birds there.
But, a crow who lived on the tree had seen the hunter setting up the net and warned the other birds not to go down to eat the grains.
But, at the same time, a flock of doves were flying past the banyan tree. They saw the grains of rice scattered around the tree and went down to eat them. Suddenly, a huge net fell over them and trapped them.but iam not convinced ...


when I google about pigeons I found somuch of intresting points to be noted when we are writing a story...

1.A study published by two University of Iowa researchers in the March 31 issue of the Journal of Vision found that pigeons recognize a human face's identity and emotional expression in much the same way as people do.

2. Pigeons are considered to be one of the most intelligent birds on the planet and able to undertake tasks previously thought to be the sole preserve of humans and primates. The pigeon has also been found to pass the ‘mirror test’ (being able to recognise its reflection in a mirror) and is one of only 6 species, and the only non-mammal, that has this ability. The pigeon can also recognise all 26 letters of the English language as well as being able to conceptualise. In scientific tests pigeons have been found to be able to differentiate between photographs and even differentiate between two different human beings in a photograph

so its not easy to trap them...that to all the animals and birds live in the forests are super intelligents.
Flock of pigeons saw the grains they came down and trapped in to the net ...I don't think it is possible
so  I strted working in this concept ..it took almost  four months to complete the story...


Now my version of the story I will write in The blog soon.,,,
But here is the story we made in four boards
1. Hunter spreading the net
2. watching them
3. birds flying after they came to know its a trap
4. Reached their friend
their friend along with other friends helping them to release from the net.
