Chittara folk art o Karnataka
Jhogi Jadey (Symbol
of Separation)
These are unwanted plants grown in competition with cultivated plants. This implies to weed out unnecessary distractions in one’s Life.
Bhachanigey
This is a Comb.
Aaladha
Heedi (Symbol of Management)
A
farming tool used to brush aside the unwanted particle gathered on the field.
It implies that one needs to brush aside unwanted things in life for a
harmonious living
Dhandigey
(Symbol of Highness)
It's a
kind of human fueled transport, for the vehicle of very adored persons. This is
one of the most important aspects of Chittara painting besides Madhumaga &
Madhnageethi. The Gods and the Kings are carried in the palanquin as a mark of
respect and honor. Accordingly, this was implied to the wedding couple who were
treated to royal standards as a matter of being equivalent to the gods.
(Ramappa, 2014) “The person who is inside the Dhandigey should relish/enjoy
slowly with ample time, only then, the marital life stands
out.
With this imagination in mind, she gets down to painting.
Dhandigey Kholu (Symbol of Relief)
Men
carry the palanquin by placing it on their shoulders. However; when they could
no longer bear the burden on their shoulders while going far distances, they
use Dhandigey Kholu by placing the palanquin on it and carrying it with their
hands than on the shoulders. This gave them a sigh of relief. It implies that
in life, if one is unable to bear the burden on his shoulders
(responsibilities, problems etc) he can find alternatives and heave a sigh of
relief to keep going without giving up.
