| dc.description.abstract | Fatehpur Sikri, Agra is one of the famous place in India, where monuments were built by Mughals. It was capital of Emperor Akbar from 1571 to 1585 AD. Many monuments are located in Fatehpur Sikri and Jama Masjid is one of them. Jama Masjid was constructed with redstone. Decorative designs were carved on redstone and wooden structure of Jama Masjid. These decorative designs can be used for textile designing. Therefore, present study was undertaken to document these designs and to adapt the designs to used on kurtis through screen printing. Under the present study the decorative designs were collected from different sections of Jama Masjid and were documented. Documented designs were categorized into broad border, narrow border, buti, central designs and neckline designs. Seven designs were selected from each category thus making the total of 35 designs for adaptation using CorelDRAW X7. The adapted designs were assessed by a panel of 30 judges. Out of thirty five designs, fifteen designs were selected on the basis of highest weighted mean score. Garment selected for printing of designs was kurti as it is a trendy Indian upper garment which never goes out of fashion. Then, twenty line design patterns were prepared on the basis of arrangement of different categories of motifs/designs on kurtis. Five line design patterns were selected based on highest weighted mean scores. Forty two design arrangements were prepared using selected adapted designs based on selected line design patterns, out of which five design arrangements were selected based on assessment made by 30 judges. Complementary colour scheme was used for colouring of selected design arrangements on kurtis. Cream colour cotton fabric was printed using selected design arrangements with the help of screen printing technique. The printed kurtis were assessed. The kurtis were assessed on different parameters namely appropriateness of motifs/designs according to the product, placement of motifs/designs arrangement on kurtis, suitability of colours used for printing with the background colour of fabric, quality of printing, size of motifs/designs used and overall appearance. All the kurtis were highly appreciated by the consumers which is evident from high ratings obtained in weighted mean score. It can be concluded from present study that the adaptation of decorative designs of Jama Masjid (Fatehpur Sikri) through screen printing technique on kurtis added a new dimension in the field of designing and helped in creating the design pool. | en_US |
