Presenting WordCamp Udaipur 2018 – New Look, New Year, New Goals!

This year we have changed a lot from our previous year’s design for the website.

Surely you would have noticed the new design of the website. The Theatre drapes at the top, the Puppets at every section of the page, the royal color combination and the mandna (मांडना) art style footer.

The concept and the design are a brainchild of our creative design team –  Ramesh and Ayushi.

The Puppets (कठपुतली)

You would have definitely noticed the puppets on the page. The Idea behind this image is the good old puppet shows that are famous all over Rajasthan. Kathputli(कठपुतली) is a string puppet theatre, native to Rajasthan, India and is the most popular form of Indian puppetry.

Kathputli is a join of two Rajasthani language words Kath meaning wood and Putli meaning a doll which has no life. Kathputli means a puppet which is made entirely from wood. However, it is made out of wood, cotton cloth, and metal wire.

Color Combination

The color being the most important aspect of anything, the website’s design consists of all kinds of vibrant colors to make the site look more appealing and maintain that Rajasthani touch.

The Footer – Mandna (मांडना)

You can see that the footer is made mainly out of two colors, mud brown and white. This is because the footer is based on a local art style Mandna (मांडना). This is a very old painting technique and has been there for ages. Mandana is drawn to protect home and hearth, welcome gods into the house and as a mark of celebrations on festive occasions.
