Abstract
The famous Jageshwar Temple complex is situated at about thirty kilometres from main Almora city of Uttarakhand state. The temple is constructed with large stones which were carved. The carvings have designs of various postures of Lord Shiva and other Hindu deities. These designs of Jageshwar Temple could be damaged in future, so transferring them onto textile articles will preserve them. Motifs can be transferred on fabric with some modification and could be used as value addition onto the fabric. Among various techniques used for fabric enrichment, printing is most efficient technique of colour application and practiced in textile sector for product diversification and value addition. The present study has been carried out to develop new textile designs. In order to create designs, designs were collected from Jageshwar Temple. Motifs were selected according to their suitability for textile products. The selected motifs were adapted using CorelDRAW X8 software. The adapted designs were evaluated by thirty judges and five adapted designs were selected. Seven designs repeat arrangements were developed from each selected design and were evaluated by judges. One design arrangement from each design was selected and colour combinations were developed using Spring/Summer 2020 New York Fashion Week Colour Palette. Three colour combinations for each selected design were developed and four colours were selected for base fabric. Out of twelve colourways, one combination which has scored highest WMS was selected for printing. T shirt was prepared in present study. T shirts were prepared in medium size using sublimation printing technique. Selected design arrangement was printed in the front and its single motif was printed in the back side of T-shirt. Finally, T shirts were assessed on different parameters by eighty college going students including forty females and forty male students. Average of weighted mean score was calculated to draw comparison between the preferences of male and female respondents. It was revealed from results that all the designs were accepted. Female respondents preferred face design ornamented details like ear rings, necklace with coral pink base fabric whereas male respondents gave preference to full body design of Lord Shiva and Parvati with saffron base fabric colour.
