From Forgotten to Fierce : The Rise of Clay Pots , Jute & Khadi

Nowadays we use utensils made of Stainless Steel, Non-Stick Cookware, Cast Iron, Aluminium Cookware, Copper Utensils, Glass & Borosilicate, Ceramic Cookware, BPA-Free Plastic Containers in our homes but after the pandemic like Covid 19, people started paying more attention to their health, after which once again people started cooking food in traditional earthen pots . Food cooked in these utensils is not only tasty but the food cooked in these utensils is also beneficial for health. Besides looking good, these utensils are also very beneficial for the environment.
This utensil looks fashionable because artists do their artwork on it which looks extremely beautiful when kept in the house and this artwork creates a story.

Before using earthen pots, they are soaked in water so that the earthen pot absorbs water and whenever we cook food in it later, soil particles also get into it. If we do not do this, there are chances of soil particles getting into it.
There are some different types of earthen pots which are polished clay pots and the food is kept in them for soaking before cooking every time.
Some earthen pots are very weak, for which they are soaked for 30-45 minutes every time before cooking food in them. Only after that food is cooked in them. The shape and design of utensils vary according to different cultures. Due to which we also feel the difference in food. To protect the earthen pots from the intense heat, a coating is applied on it which is called Sikhe. This is necessary, otherwise the pots can break.
These utensils can be fully seasoned only after using them several times. It is seasoned by keeping them in hot water. If you are cooking on gas, then it is important to avoid sudden changes in temperature, otherwise there is a risk of the utensil breaking. If you want to make something using clay pots in the oven, keep the temperature low at first and then increase it slowly.
Food cooked in clay pots has very little salt as it is surrounded by a lot of steam, making the food extremely delicious. In other utensils, when the water dries up, the food settles down but this does not happen in earthen pots. The pot itself stays away from water, so the food does not settle down.
Food made in clay pots does not require oil, which makes the food extremely healthy and keeps the fat levels in the body regular

People say that eating food in clay pots gives it a clay taste and clay pots that have been used for many years have a substance that makes the food delicious, so cooks often prefer to cook in clay pots.And he expects his ancestors to pass on the pot to him
I feel that as people become more aware of their health and environment, it is time to start using clay pots again.
The shine of culture is still alive in jute and khadi


With the changing times, it has now become not just a culture but a style statement. Till a few days ago, it was not in the news at all but with the innovations, it has once again come into the news.

It is a type of plant fiber. Its fibers are used to make sacks, carpets, tents, tarpaulins, sackcloth, ropes, low-grade clothes and paper.
The word 'jute' is thought to be derived from the Sanskrit word 'jata' . Jute fibres are generally six to ten feet long. Freshly harvested fibre is stronger, more shiny, more soft and whiter. These qualities are lost if kept in the open. The fibre is hygroscopic. The fibre can hold from six to 23 percent moisture.
Jute yield depends on many factors like crop variety, fertility of the soil, spacing, harvesting time etc.
Sacks, hessian and packing cloth are made from jute fibre. Carpets, dupattas, curtains, home decoration items, lining and ropes are also made. The stalk is used for burning and gunpowder coal can also be made from it. Stalk coal is good for gunpowder. Pulp is also obtained from the stalk, which can be used for making paper.
The cloth which is woven by hand is called Khadi. Khadi clothes can be made of cotton, silk, or wool. The yarn made for these is made with the help of a spinning wheel. Its main feature is that it is woven by hand on a spinning wheel.

The main feature of Khadi clothing is that it provides warmth in cold days and coolness in hot days.Khadi has a lot of importance in the life of Indians because Khadi Nidhi played an important role in the freedom struggle. In the 1920s, Gandhiji had emphasized a lot on the promotion of Khadi to make the villages self-reliant.
Some days ago a slogan was given in India "Khadi for Nation, Khadi for Fashion" as a result of which Khadi started to trade more.


Clay Pots , jute and khadi are powerful symbols of a return to our roots. Having forgotten everything in today's race of modernity, it is these traditional materials that now inspire us to live an environmentally conscious life, and to keep ourselves healthy.

All these things benefit business people financially only because they take a lot of time to make them, so their prices are also expensive.
This not only improves the environment but also supports the artists who create the me.
The journey from forgotten to fierce highlights the timeless value of indigenous crafts in shaping a more responsible and connected world.
