BANJARA EMBROIDERY

The Banjaras’ separate identity is best demonstrated by their embroidery aesthetics and their related women’s attire. Featuring geometrics and eschewing the floral and animal motifs used in the majority of Indian’s village peoples, Banjara embroidery is strikingly different. The viewer’s eye is drawn to bold squares, triangles, circles and irregular shapes, all delineated in brilliant contrasting colours.

All Banjara embroideries are designed for a nomadic life. These are multipurpose clothing and dowry pieces, not large wall decorations like those made and used by settled village people in most Indian regions.

Amongst all Banjaras, the single most important ceremonial textile is an embroidery called Kothala, or Kotli, that measures approximately 50 cm square. It has many uses including water pot cover. It can also be folded in a number of ways to make up many different kinds of elaborate bags, shaped like a large envelope used to hold all the smaller dowry pieces. This bag is almost embroidered all over with Bakia, a kind of back stitch. The corners have cowries, the shell and phoonda, a pom-pom made of coloured threads or goat’s wool and lac in the older pieces.

Other embroidered pieces include :

Gala-Phulia: a pot holder, traditionally used by women to carry pots on their heads. It has 3 pieces to it: the ring, or indhoni, to hold the pot, the squarish flap put on the ring and the rectangular piece that is meant to hang down from the base of the pot to the base of the neck which is most elaborately embroidered with a stitch called Gadri and mirrors. The edges are lined closely with cowries as also often the centre piece.

Gano: this a square piece of cloth used to cover the pot on ceremonial occasions. This is almost always done as a patchwork with red in the middle and borders in blue. Sometimes borders are divided in half in which one is red and the other is blue. Corner pieces are of the opposite colour to the middle piece.

Chandiya: this beautiful embroidered piece is used for decorating the face of a cow gifted as a dowry to the groom at the wedding.

Dhavalo, or ceremonial square: it is the most important type of ceremonial textile made and used by the Banjaras. It is sometimes called a Dhavalo with reference to Dhavalo songs, prayers of mourning traditionally undertaken by the new Banjara bride. It is folded into different sorts of bags. Typically it is decorated with kodi, the cowry shells, and utilizes a combination of flat and crossed stitches. It measures about 50 cms square. The centre panel clearly illustrates embroidery that fully covers the back ground cloth, using primarily flat stitches. This work best known of Banjara embroidery styles is commonly found in North Maharashtra, Northeast Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

Man’s wedding bag: A traditional small square four-pocketed wedding bag.

The Banjaras have been moving throughout the subcontinent. In the process they have established symbiotic relationships with local settled peoples. This is why at times they adopt both regional and pan-Indian adornment elements. Like their village counterparts, Banjara women do carry water from wells on their head too but the cloth that decorates these pots is distinctly Banjara in design.

In their nomadic wandering, Banjaras have been influenced in their textile work by the culture of the region they would mostly reside in, creating distinctive sub-regional Banjara styles. It is difficult however to demonstrate a particular textiles’ provenance. One reason is that marketing practices have taken the textiles away from their source area. Secondly, Banjaras themselves staunchly retain their cultural identity by tending to confuse interrogators. It is therefore through sheer perseverance, detailed cross checking and time that research on Banjara embroidery can reveal the sub-regional styles.

For instance, Banjara women of Andhra Pradesh wear attire in bold appliqué and mirror work. More subtle is the work of the Banjaras of Madhya Pradesh and adjoining areas in Maharashtra and Karnataka: They produce beautiful work made up of squares and rectangles of cross and stem stitch, contained within a lay out in closely
worked herring bone stitch. Designs are either geometric or angularly zoomorphic. Further south, Banjaras work some of the most intricate embroidery, using woollen or cotton thread and a great repertoire of stitches, making bags, purses, waist bands and gala-phulia or pot holder.

All elements of the traditional Banjara festival dress have a special significance in announcing the position of a woman in the community: her marital status, number of children, and the degree to which she ascribes to Banjara ways.
Banjara women wear their finest clothes and jewellery at all times, even when doing hard manual labour on building sites or breaking stones for public roads.

The birth of a girl-chid starts a Banjara mother embroidering for her daughter’s dowry. Articles that are elaborately embroidered form the major part of the dowry. A Banjara girl may start at the age of eight helping her mother. Today three sets of skirts are given to girls who agree to wear the traditional dress after marriage. The elaborate one may take 6 months and the simpler one month or so.

The threads come from either the rangara or dyer and block printer or Banjara traders who buy waste yarn from weavers and sell them to the tanda, or Banjara colony.
The embroidery method is to stitch from the bottom of a piece, gradually working up to the top, as if working from the earth to the sky, and so representing the whole universe in their embroidery.

Most of their embroidered pieces are adorned with cowry shells which are loaded with symbolism of wealth, if seen as an ancient coinage and/or fertility, if seen as a vulva. Banjaras are said to have spread the use of such shells in the whole of India through their nomadic wanderings, which probably explains why they are used in abundance by tribal peoples as far as the Nagas in the East and the Todas in the South.

They have also been instrumental in spreading Northern Indian stitching techniques such as the counted thread used in the Phulkari embroidery of Punjab to Central and Southern India. They have also imbibed different stitching techniques used in the different regions they have crossed, which makes Banjara embroidery technically and aesthetically very rich.

Nowadays, a drop in the quality of embroidery is noticeable. The base fabric has changed from coarsely woven fabric to mill made ones and embroidery yarns are now the same for all objects. Block printing has become old-fashioned. The coarse goat’s wool are gone and shiny woollen threads are used in their place. Wool is used in embroidery. The colours used are fluorescent pink, yellow and green, as compared to the muted tones of the past.

Fortunately, all pieces on display in Adikala gallery are not new pieces. They have been worn and used for the traditional purpose that they have been made for.

THE BANJARA PEOPLE

Banjaras, also called Lambadis or Lamanis, originated centuries ago in the Johdpur and Jaisalmer desert areas of Rajasthan. Today they live and migrate throughout the length & breadth of India which makes their exact count difficult: it is estimated between 3 and 20 millions people (!).

Banjaras are basically nomads who raise and herd animals. They earn their living by selling goods and services to surrounding mainstream populations. In the process, they have developed complex traditional sets of adaptive mechanisms to live in peace with their neighbours and customers.

But at all times, they keep their own language, religion and ethical code. This mysterious duality and intriguing separateness is a most integral part of their being. It is also what makes them frighteningly different to urban Indians and have earned them the categorization as a “criminal” tribe by the British and accusations of all manners of atrocities: thievery, kidnapping, murder and witchcraft.

They are also described by the same as hardworking, ingenious, powerful, self-assured and honourable.

They started as bullock cart transporters supplying the rulers, from the Moghuls to the British army with food grains, army equipment and other supplies. When the building of railways and roads deprived them of this traditional means of subsistence, they retained their tradition of monument building (they are seen on Moghul miniatures as manual labour constructing the red fort of Agra) but have taken up since every other profession, both intellectual and manual.

One thing all Banjaras have in common: they work hard in activities that are usually lucrative and migrate where work is available.

Their second common feature is that no matter their level of education, they manage to meet with their social obligations to the community, be it rites of passage and festivals and to maintain their separate identity.

They maintain a strong ethnic identity through their strict endogamy. They follow the Rajput system in marrying only with members of the opposite sub castes or clans, known as gotras. Each Banjara therefore can immediately identify the lineage of another Banjara by looking at his waist string that is composed of tassels and lead beads.

They maintain a marked religious identity: Though nationwide Banjaras trace their origin through a complex lineage to the Hindu cow-herding god Krishna and his consort Radha, they are animistic and retain allegiance to local and pan-Banjara heroes, gods and goddesses, pilgrimage sites and rites. They deify ancestors and worship saints and have their own priests, or Bhagats, and miracle men, or Janyas. They maintain specific shrines dedicated to some of the legendary dogs they use to watch their herds but have included Rama, Hanuman and Ganesh in their tribal pantheon.

They possess a strong linguistic identity: Though they speak regional languages of every part of India, they retain their own that relates to Hindi, Rajasthani, Punjabi or European Rom that is called “Ghormati”, “Lubanki” or “Banjaraboli”.
They also keep their habitat identity by staying away from the mainstream in separate villages called “tanda”.
The Banjaras’ separate identity is best demonstrated by their embroidery aesthetics and related women’s attire.

Though intriguing, the Banjaras’ identity has not been researched by many. Little has been published on it and virtually nothing about their embroidery has been disseminated.

Some words and history about BANJARA

They settled down in the southern or central areal of the country and slowly loosened contacts with Rajasthan, and their original community.

Over a period of time both the communities separated and they adopted the local culture. The language spoken by Banjaras settled in Yavatmal district of Vidarbha, Maharashtra is an admixture of Hindi,Rajasthani and Marathi.
