 Abstract

Thrissur Pooram is the iconic festival of Kerala held in the cultural capital of Kerala- Thrissur. Over the past decades important transformation has taken place. Increasing participation of women in different facets of Pooram is evident. We can see this transformation from male dominated roles to leadership functions. When Thrissur Pooram transforms into a celebration of unity and equality, another conspicuous impact is the journey towards women empowerment and gender equality. It also shows God' s own country's progressive quintessence. Latha, a 72 year-old homemaker, was sharing her memories of the Thrissur Pooram. When she was young, a girl could only dream of watching the Pooram up close in the Thekkinkadu Maidanam (the temple grounds), standing right at the Thekke Gopuranada (the southern entrance of the temple). Her father and brothers used to go to the Pooram every year and share their experiences with her. Latha and her mother were unable to attend. When she cried and pleaded with her father, he would take her and her mother to the pakalpooram (the morning festival), held on the morning after the day of the main Pooram. After her marriage and the birth of her children, she stopped attending even the pakalpooram. Nowadays, Latha watches the Pooram on television. Girls and women today are very lucky, she said, to be able to attend the Pooram and experience the Kudamaattam and the Ilanjithara Melam in person. Reshma, a 22 year-old postgraduate student, shared her happiness of witnessing Thrissur Pooram in Thekkinkadu Maidanam. Her family, including her father, mother, brother and sister enjoyed the aanachamayam, the sample vedikkettu and the pakalpooram. Reshma noted that most of her peers attend the Thrissur Pooram.

 Abstract

The study aims to analyze the mythical Indian women characters in contemporary Indian writings. Five Contemporary Indian writings such as, Lanka's Princess (2016) by Kavita Kane, The Liberation of Sita (2016) by Volga, The Kaunteyas (2016) by Madhavi S Mahadevan, Sita: Daughter of the Earth (2011) by Saraswati Nagpal, and The Palace of Illusions (2008) by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni were taken for study. Mythology has been essential to every civilisation globally. Indian mythology is among the oldest belief systems in the world. The selected contemporary works attempts to retells the women characters in Indian mythology. The contemporary tendency of Indian English authors to reinterpret legendary narratives through the perspectives of female protagonists offers a literary viewpoint on society. Mythologies provides a new medium for integrating contemporary concepts with traditional figures.

 Abstract

Agriculture is one of the most critical industries globally, feeding the growing population. However, plant diseases pose a significant threat to crop yield and quality, leading to severe economic losses. Timely detection and accurate diagnosis of plant diseases are essential to mitigate their adverse effects. Traditional manual disease detection is time-consuming and prone to error, necessitating an automated, scalable approach. In this paper, we propose DeepLeaf, an AI-driven system for plant disease recognition based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The system leverages deep learning to automatically classify plant diseases from leaf images, providing rapid and reliable diagnoses. We describe the system architecture, dataset preparation, model training, and evaluation results. DeepLeaf demonstrates state-of-theart performance on benchmark datasets and shows significant potential for real-world agricultural applications.

 Abstract

This analytical study explores the musical heritage and historical development of the D?gur and Beti? Dhrupad Ghar?n?s in West Bengal. It clarifies the distinction between the terms 'D?gur' and 'Dagar', tracing their etymological, social, and geographical differences. Drawing from authoritative genealogical records, the paper presents conflicting scholarly views on the origins and evolution of the D?gur Ghar?n?, particularly highlighting arguments from music historians such as Dilip Kumar Mukherjee and Dr. Bimal Roy. The study details the stylistic features of the D?garv?ni tradition, emphasizing its unique approach to ?l?p through a refined system of melodic ornamentation and improvisation, as outlined by scholars and practitioners. The paper also provides a historical account of the Beti? Ghar?n?, rooted in the feudal legacy of northern Bihar, and documents several traditional Dhrupad compositions from both ghar?n?s. Finally, the work examines the spread and influence of these ghar?n?s in Bengal, chronicling the contributions of prominent musicians and the enduring appeal of their musical legacy among Bengali disciples. Through genealogies, stylistic analysis, and a survey of compositions, this study offers a comprehensive perspective on the significance and cultural impact of the D?gur and Beti? Dhrupad Ghar?n?s in the regional and broader Indian music traditions.

 Abstract

Bharat(India) possesses one of the world's oldest, most profound intellectual traditions. The Ancient Bhartiya Knowledge System (ABKS) is a vast repository of scientific, philosophical, medical, mathematical, and ecological wisdom that thrived in ancient universities like Nalanda, Takshashila, Vallabhi, and Vikramshila. However, during colonial times, this system was marginalized and gradually replaced by Western models of education. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has brought a renewed emphasis on India's intellectual heritage and its alignment with modern education. This research paper explores how ABKS can be thoughtfully and effectively integrated into school and college curricula in India. It includes theoretical frameworks, pedagogical models, comparative insights, case studies, and practical implementation strategies. The aim is not to idealize the past but to retrieve its most valuable knowledge streams and harmonize them with modern disciplines, encouraging holistic development, intercultural awareness, and global competence among Indian students.

 Abstract

The main issues with local delivery of cosmetics are their high sensitivity and limited drug loading of active pharmaceutical ingredient [1].Today, cosmetic formulations incorporating Nanocrystals are a relatively new yet very promising and highly researched area. The application of nanotechnology in cosmetics has been shown to overcome the drawbacks associated with traditional cosmetics and also to add more useful features to a formulation. Nano cosmetics and Nano cosmeceuticals have been extensively explored for skin, hair, nails, lips, and teeth, and the inclusion of nanomaterials has been found to improve product efficacy and consumer satisfaction. Provided are cosmetic preparations for topical application containing Nanocrystals of cosmetic actives leading to an increased bioactivity of the molecules in the skin and methods of making the cosmetic preparations. The Nanocrystals can be added to any cosmetic topical formulation, e.g. creams, lotion, gels and liposomal dispersion, etc. Nanocrystals as nanomaterials are being used in cosmetic products for various effects. However, their use also raises potential safety concerns. Some of these concerns can be addressed by determining the type of nanomaterial used, as well as stability, potential for skin absorption, route of exposure, and how they are formulated in cosmetic products. There has been considerable effort internationally to harmonize approaches in order to address definitional issues and safety concerns related to the use of nanocrystals in cosmetic products [2].

 Abstract

This paper presents a comparative study of three major macroeconomic models--Classical, Keynesian, and Neo-Classical--each offering a distinct perspective on how economies function, during times of growth, crisis, or recovery. The Classical model promotes minimal government intervention and believes in the natural ability of markets to self-correct. Keynesian theory emphasizes the need for active government intervention during economic slowdowns to stimulate demand and bring the economy back to stability. The Neo-Classical approach, which emerged later, combines elements of both by acknowledging short-term disruptions while emphasizing long-term market equilibrium and rational decision-making. Through this study, we analyze the assumptions, strengths, and limitations of each model and explore how these theories have been applied to tackle real-life economic challenges such as the Great Depression, stagflation, and the 2008 financial crisis. The paper concludes that no single model is universally applicable; instead, a flexible and context-based approach is required to address the complexities of modern economies.
