| Title: Almond Eyes, Lotus Feet: Indian Traditions in Beauty and Health |
| Author: Sharada Dwivedi and Shalini Devi Holkar |
| Edition Year: 2005 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Culture Custom |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is an extensive overview of Indian traditions in beauty and health care. In India, much knowledge about Herbal beauty treatments and simple home remedies has been lost due to its being passed on from one generation to another solely by word of mouth and practical demonstrations by elders in a family. Indian women through generations have shared these sources and recipes generously with each other in a spirit of togetherness. For them, beauty and health care are complex concepts that blend tradition, obligation, habit, hygiene and even good recreation. It evokes a sense of nostalgia of beauty, tantalising colours and textures, a whiff of loved fragrances, memories, moods and feelings and the joys and bonds of sharing and caring. |

| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about Indian traditional values. Human life is guided by a pair of opposite held as good or bad, right or wrong, nice or nasty, wise or foolish. Some aims and results of action are judged praise-worthy, others unworthy. The unworthy aims may, by linguistic signs, by extended to existing states which have to be rejected. It may apply contemporary terms, value and disvalue to this pair of opposites. On the basis of Manusmriti it may be inferred that social good cannot exist without social evil and vice versa, as pleasure cannot evil and vice versa, as pleasure cannot exist without plan. There is no good without non good. Some value objects like long, life wealth in the form of cows, horses and even certain social institutions exist in the seen world, they can be perceived by the senses. Other value objects are unseen, some of them even, in a strict sense, inexpressible by speech. |

| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about Nagas. Nagas, the snake worshipping communities of Ancient India occupy an important place in Indian history. To a student of Indian history and the common man alike, it appears as if there lay a complete veneer of belief in the divinity of the Nagas and of the Naga racial blood over the length and breadth of India. From Kashmir, Tibet or Nepal to the Malabar coast in the South, from Gujarat to Bengal and Assam, from Sri Lanka to Java, Sumatra and Cambodia, there are very few places indeed where we do not meet frequently with individual or local names of which the word Naga forms a part or where the ruling dynasty is not believed sometimes to have been associated with Naga clan. |
