Matka (silk)
Matka cloth was a kind of coarse silk from the Indian subcontinent. It was mainly produced with pierced cocoons. A pierced cocoon is one from which the moth of the silkworm has emerged and damaged the cocoon. The silk from these cocoons is spun, not reeled. The fabric made from these yarns is known as "Matka cloth." Matka weaving Matka cloth provided employment for poor women and less artistic weavers. Matka was a silk for poor people and religious people, like the Jains, who preferred Matka silk. This is because it doesn't kill the insect to get the silk. The local method of weaving in the Bengal region was termed "Matka." The weavers of Matka lived in and around Dakra. Matka cloth produced by Rajshahi's weavers was of great repute and used to be in demand. A local Matka cloth named "Dakra Matka" was of such high quality that it was comparable to reeled silk. Weavers occasionally combine Matka silk with another type of silk called "Khamru" to create a more superior Matka cloth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Matka Gambling
''Matka'' gambling or ''satta'' is a form of betting and lottery which originally involved betting on the opening and closing rates of cotton transmitted from the New York Cotton Exchange to the Bombay Cotton Exchange. It originates from before the Partition of India when it was known as ''Ankada Jugar'' ("figures gambling"). In the 1960s, the system was replaced with other ways of generating random numbers, including pulling slips from a large earthenware pot known as a '' matka'', or dealing with playing cards. Matka gambling is illegal in India. History In the original form of the game, betting would take place on the opening and closing rates of cotton as transmitted to the Bombay Cotton Exchange from the New York Cotton Exchange, via teleprinters. In 1961, the New York Cotton Exchange stopped the practice, which caused the punters to look for alternative ways to keep the matka business alive. A Sindhi migrant from Karachi, Pakistan, Ratan Khatri introduced the idea of de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Matki (earthen Pot)
A ''matki'' or ''matka'' (Hindi and Urdu: ''maṭkī'', ''maṭkā'') in South Asia is an earthen pot used as a home "water storage cooler". It has been in use since ancient times and can be found in houses of every social class. Production They are made by the combination of two types of clay: the first is taken from the surface of the earth and the second after digging more than 10 feet deeper into the earth. Making a matka is a long process of at least 8 days. The clay is mixed with water, shaped, finished, polished, dried and fired in a kiln for 5 days. Modern designs are fitted with taps. Cooling process The cooling process works through evaporative cooling. Capillary action causes water to evaporate from the mini-pores in the pot, taking the heat from the water inside, thus making the water inside cooler than the outside temperature. Hence it is used only during summer and not in winter. Gallery Pani ka matka.jpg, A matka (big earthen pot) on roadside at Chinawal, ...

Mother (opera)
''Mother'', op. 35 () is a quarter-tone opera in ten scenes by the Czech composer Alois Hába. It was completed in 1929 to the composer's own libretto; its plot is drawn from the author's native Valašsko. The opera is written in prose. Background After Hába successfully resolved instrumental and theoretical problems with the quarter-tone system in the 1920s, he started to compose fully in that style. His work is bi-chromatic and in some folklore-inspired scenes and recitative parts of the score Hába approached to the intonational diction of the folk dialect. In spite of the folklore atmosphere of the work, its music is very independent and entirely original. The opera is strongly connected to Moravian ethnic traditions and takes advantage of local dialect and music. Daniel Albright describes it as, "a remarkable work: slightly in awe of its own daring, in that Hába seemed more fascinated by the quarter-tone scale themselves than by any melody that might be construed from ...
