Telugu is a Dravidian language that is primarily spoken in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Studies have found the basis of this language to have its history associated with Sanskrit words. Telugu literature predominantly presents religious or devotional subject matter. The poets and scholars from Andhra Pradesh translated epics such as the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavat, and the Puranas that are considered the foundation of Vedic knowledge and lead us to higher consciousness to cultivate the real purpose of human life. The first Telugu literary work was the translation of the Mahabharata from Sanskrit to Telugu by Nannaya Bhattaraka, who is also known as Adi Kavi.
Vastu Shastra is an ancient Sanskrit manual of architectural and scientific writings that was formed around 3000 BC, it contains Vastu vidya which is a broader collection of principles of designs. Vastu Shashtra includes layouts of houses, roads, shops, gardens, and even designs of the Mandir. Pandits were the architects of Vastu Shashtra popularly known as Sthapati. Few theories suggest that the formation of the Indus Valley Civilization including cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro was planned according to the Vastu Shastra.
Vastu Shastra\'s main intent is to harmonize and balance the flow of energies, wherein the directional alignment is solely to promote prosperity and a positive aura. Vastu Doshas are imbalances in a space that can lead to issues like career obstacles, mental stress, relationship differences, and economic instability. It could be of several different types like residential vaastu, commercial vaastu, spiritual vastu, and Vastu in daily life. Most houses and buildings these days are not built according to the Vastu Shashtra, in most cases we cannot change the layout of the interiors so, focus on ways to balance the negative elements and remove the doshas from the place.
A traditional art form originated from the land of Gujrat, Mata ni pachedi is the pride of the nomadic Vaghari community. Mata ni pachedi translates to “ behind the mother goddess” a kind of regional cloth painting made for the worship of Matas. Living along the banks of the Sabarmati river in Gujrat, the inferior caste of the village was not allowed to visit the temples. Hence, they began creating the paintings about 3000 years ago. The Mata ni pachedi paintings were generally used as a backdrop or canopies in their temporary wooden temple as a symbol of devotion.
