( brief )
A visual timeline that follows the gradual distillation of the wave idea as it moves through multiple iterations before settling into the final ripple
( Iterations )
(01)
Coiling
Coiling is the process of sorting and arranging threads into a compact yarn ball to prevent tangling and ensuring ease of use in the further Process.
(02)
Winding
Winding involves wrapping the yarn around a wooden warping frame to measure and prepare the correct length and number of threads needed for weaving.
(03)
Warping
Warping is the process in which the thread is wound onto a warp beam. It's then threaded through the heddles, and finally passed through the reed, a comb-like frame that separates the threads into even intervals.
(04)
Weaving
Weaving involves the process of crossing the warp threads (vertical) and the weft threads (horizontal). By alternating the position of the warp threads, using shafts, and passing the weft through the openings a variety of patterns are made.
(Process)
The medal's pattern, inspired by its ripples, signifies the profound impact of small actions, mirroring a sammannee's positive influence. We've chosen pure cotton, as in the Khadi movement, it symbolizes self-reliance and aligns with the Yashraj Research Foundation's mission to honor those contributing to India's betterment. In both cases, our focus is on recognizing and celebrating valuable skills, whether recognized or undiscovered.
(Process)
Each motif has 48 weft threads and 16 warp threads.
A single band contains 50 – 55 motifs,
Each motif measuring 1.3–1.4 cm in length.
The band measures 80 cm x 2 cm .
