recipes of many indian medicated wines of ayurved calls for using ghee accustomed pots for fermentation and sometimes placing fermenting vessel in a bigger grain storing clay pot or burying in horse stables or burying underground near hearth ... none of these would be available in even the most traditionally manufacturing ayurvedic pharmacies of today ... clay pots sometimes have activated surfaces and so new wines made is unlikely to have exact same properties that wines made even 100 years back
these are not real Muslims, these are poor Hindus who are harassed by the government to pay the Hindu tax. In order to avoid paying the Hindu tax, they convert to Islam. Thats why meanwhile 200 hundred million poor Hindus converted to Islam. Who will stop this harassment?
Brilliant. So glad I found this. I wish I could have shared your experiences in India and witnessed these artists at work. I'm sure you'd understand my position regarding the Motu pottery culture in Papua New Guinea. I'm desperate to document it before it's too late; I went there to attempt to record the vestiges. I only managed to record some things before I had to return to Australia, but I hope to soon get back there. I invite you to have a look at the brief video I made and would value your comments or suggestions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r-OgyCAfVEs.html
Plastic and metal is unhealthy for humans and the earth. We should never have made plastics and we should not dig up so much metal. I would love to have some pots for storing grains, but until now, I have never seen any. It is really a big shame that potteries have closed down. I hope they open again. I wonder what they went on doing after the closure.
We need to bomb these savages, get them a tv and all those kids laptops. After that they need to mortgage all there assets to a bank and stop using that terrorist pottery, all there cooking and eating wares need to be made from oil company byproducts
True! It would be unfair to call this work primitive as many do so. Such humble people produce reliable products without any guarantee of the end result, after putting in so much labour. These are blessed people!
it sounds like reethaa (Sapindus mukorossi) tree beans dipped in kerosene ... reethaa or areethaa are famous soap nuts of india aka shikakai ... i do not know how a nut can be stripped to make strands as shown in video ... my feeling is that they got some wrong information and strips are from another plant or strips are not from nuts but from same tree ... i wish video uploader can ask their team which seems to have many indian members
@leafonabreeze i posted another reply from best i could hear ... the word reetha appears to be used which is Sapindus mukorossi ... i do not claim to know better than you and you may be right ... reethaa (or areethaa aka shikakai) are soapy nuts which are boiled in water to give soapy water often used by indian ladies to wash their hair
these pots she is making... these are used to store water in villages and the waters tastes best.... even the vertical big one are for storing drinking water.... and these are really tough pots :)
Sifted, like poured through mesh so that no particles that aren't fine enough to pass through. Any ash will work, sifting just needs to be done to ensure that the ash is pure, and there aren't like carbonized (black) pieces or fragments of wood in the ash.
+Adam Reed: it acts as a fiber binder ... the clay is low-fire (and probably low quality anyway), so it doesn't have the strength of high-fire clay ceramics.
