To commemorate India’s 76 years of Independence, Instagram is being painted in the Tricolour. From food to fashion, netizens are exploring the rich heritage and culture of India. In this August 15-special edition of Reels of the Week, My Kolkata explores reels that celebrate our glorious nation.
This illustration of Mother India is heartwarming
This talented artist, who goes by the username @logokuhe, has given us a new vision of Mother India through his animated digital illustration. With red alta on her feet, is features a Tricolour sari-clad woman, who possesses the heartwarming charm of motherhood. If we had to reimagine the concept of Mother India as a person, then she would definitely be someone like her.
Post-Vedic India men's fashion
Fashion contributes to India’s rich culture greatly. While we always talk about the evolution of women's fashion and its diversity, do you know how men dressed in post-Vedic India? This beautiful compilation of evolution of men's fashion by @boseoninsta takes us on a ride from 3500 BCE to 2023. The effort this fashion influencer has put to recreate every look is commendable.
