♦ Origins:
The oldest evidence of woven containers has been discovered in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and India, indicating that baskets were used in ancient cultures. In India, palm leaves, bamboo, or cane are used to make handwoven baskets for practical and ritual purposes, which have been essential to temple practices and village economies. Traditionally, return gift baskets were filled with kumkum or prasadam and given to guests during auspicious Hindu festivals and poojas.
♦ In South India, particularly in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, gift hampers are well-liked, and they are widely used during weddings, Navaratri, and Varalakshmi Vratham. These baskets are valued for their aesthetic appeal as well as the elegance they bring to social and religious rituals.
♦ Uses & Applications:
It's the ideal return gift basket for weddings, festivals, and poojas, and you may put kumkum, turmeric, little idols, or sweets inside. Additionally, it functions nicely as a storage basket for arranging cosmetics, jewelry, or pooja supplies. During Navaratri Golu, these baskets are frequently presented to visiting women along with prasadam and presents, making them both practical and significant.
♦ Actions for Preservation:
Keep your gift basket in a dry, cold area away from moisture to protect it. Refrain from putting anything heavy on it that could change its form. To maintain freshness and avoid mildew, gently clean with a dry cloth and air out sometimes.
♦ Festive Relevance and Devotional Connection:
These baskets are frequently used to offer presents to gods like Lakshmi, Durga, and Saraswati during Varalakshmi Vratham, Navaratri, and other festivals that center around the goddess. They serve as a vehicle during weddings for carrying sacred items that represent wealth and prosperity.
♦ Baskets represent order and offering in traditional Hindu households. They are frequently connected to the goddess Lakshmi and are used in temples to hold flowers, diyas, and prasadam as symbols of purity and devotion. Their repeated usage in pooja ceremonies gives their function a holy aspect.
