NIFT Entrance - Pahal Design

Posted on March 6, 2021 by admin

Q. How was the NIFT 2021 Exam? Was it lengthy, difficult or moderate? What’s your analysis of the exam?

The paper pattern of NIFT B.des entrance paper didn’t see any changes. The paper format and the number of questions were in accordance with the announced NIFT exam pattern with the difficulty levels being moderate, all in all the paper was quite doable for any consistent student. There were six passages, each passage of around 120-150 words, they were small and weren’t time consuming in reading, however comprehending was more on an inference-based questions, which was little tricky for the students. Student with a good reading habit will surely find it easily doable. the topic based was on varied subjects, ranging from opera, music and art fair, aquatic animal to weirdest profession, other section of English was easy to moderate, the easiest being to identify the plural form, same was with one-word substitution and to identify the correct spelt word, idioms and phrase was moderate and same with antonyms and synonyms

Reasoning had mix of topics like Assertion and reason, puzzles which was little time taking but doable, other topics of cubes, series, Odd ones out, blood relations, directions, coding decoding, ranking & positioning could be attempted carefully.

Quantitative on the other hand saw all major topics covered from number system to ratio & proportion, SI, CI, profit & loss, work time, mixtures & allegations, etc.

The General knowledge segment was moderately easy with questions which has question three questions from brands, two questions on noble prize and four questions from static GK everything that we have been recommending and mentoring for found its presence in the exam. It will be fit to say that there were no surprises.

GAT section was not at all lengthy , 100 questions could be comfortably attempted in allotted time .If all the sections were attempted properly any score above 65-70/100 could be easily achieved

Q. Creative Ability Test is conducted to judge the Design Ability and Creativity of the student. Out of the three questions asked in the NIFT exam, which one required the most efforts and was the easiest?

Analysis of question is very important and also its imperative to understand what the examiner wants , In CAT this year too there were three questions to attempt. Two were from visual communication and the third was a creative product representation based.

Question No 1: “Design a virtual space for Webinar”.
This was for some tricky but at the same time a little brain storming could have gave students edge, as everyone is now well versed with EdTech platforms like Zoom ,Google meet ,Go to meeting etc. thanks to COVID 19 , we all had learning /interactions/meetings on these

platforms ,the question demanded to design a hypothetical digital meeting / learning platform and not the one that already exist as question was not on Re-design ,it was altogether about design a new interface display ,wherein student had the liberty to coin new brand ,slogan as well as its logo altogether. Reading the question properly and inferring it, was the key , as some students even ended up drawing a physical recording studio for webinar. That’s why it’s not about “How you draw’ but it’s all about “what you draw “

Q2: Design Emojis for the following:
(a) see you again (b) I don’t know (c) good morning (d) good night (e) sh…

It was again a visual communication question, where emojis for different communication has to be designed, one need to be very particular and avoid drawing the same circular shaped emoji, instead define, what is emoji ,it’s basically a visual which interpret a message or a communication , many of students would have interpreted it only as emoji face , which is very conventional.

This was the most easiest question in CAT but at the same time your creativity is being judged ,
how much you think “ out of the box”

Q3: choose any musical instrument and depict any four festivals each in a given box.

The challenge in any design exam is “ what you interpret” from the question.
There was clear instructions to innovate, design, change shape, colour, pattern of the instrument. Students were confused as to whether they had to choose one instrument and interpret it for four different festivals differently or four different instruments has to be used for each festival separately. Since the instrument could be completely renovated in terms of its
shape and form as well, it would be very interesting to see one instrument take four completely different forms. Ideally musical instrument is classified by the method of producing sound i.e. . Wind instrument, stringed instrument , percussion instrument etc . so ideally the question demands using a musical instrument type for different festivals, so if you choose string instruments then it could be guitar, violin, sitar and harp for different festival.

Knowledge on musical instrument as well as festival was the key , this question can be a decider for range of marks the students are expecting in their CAT part.

Q. Which were the toughest sections in the NIFT 2021 General Ability Test (GAT)?

Students found quantitative section tough as compared to other sections in GAT, this year the questions were more on application based rather than on implied basis, it was little time taking as one need to apply their understanding of the topic. Questions were from average, percentage, time & speed, S.I & C.I, Profit & loss, Ratio proportion and Number system.

Q. Was there anything unexpected in the NIFT Entrance Exam? If yes, then what was it?

Not at all, there was nothing unexpected as such, it was in line with what NIFT had notified in their notification

Q. How should students prepare for the Situation Test? What are important aspects they must keep in mind?

After student clears the CAT and GAT exam (CAT 50% and GAT 30%) weightage is given to this test, NIFT situation test is conducted (20% weightage). It is to evaluate the candidate’s skills for material handling and innovative ability in a given situation with a provided set of materials. Candidates must know how to crack NIFT situation test as their admission also based on the performance in the situation test which is the final round of the admission process. A total of 3038 seats across Bachelor of Design (B.Des.) programmes will be offered admission to the
shortlisted candidates across the across 16 campuses of the NIFT institute.

The following are the key to do for NIFT Situation test.
1- Make yourself familiar with materials, materials could be anything that you usually find
at your home i.e. Plastic (bags, bottles, packaging, utensils), Cloth fabrics, strings ( jute, rubber bands, plastic etc.) ,scarp metals, needles & threads ,different papers etc
2- Always learn and practice in group especially in classroom , as there will be lots and lots
of brainstorming ,boosting your ideations and creativity
3- Exchange thoughts, ideas with your mentor and also be very open to learning.
4- Explore unconventional use of materials, handling them effectively and productively is something requires time, so start your Situation test preparation early.

Its very important to acknowledge that situation test will definitely a key to boost up the ranking, and getting top NIFT Campus is altogether based on your ranking. even a small difference in marks , creates a wide gap in the ranking . so take the situation test very “ SERIOUSLY “

Q. According to you, when must a NIFT aspirant start preparing to get the best results?

Start early, stay ahead with your strategy and make a Strategic plan to get an edge over others. Successful are those who knows what they are meant for, where is their interest & which field they are passionate about. Once you make yourself clear that your goal is to pursue art &
design as a career devise productive time management strategies with a view of acing the NIFT
exam with good rank.

Ideally it is recommended that one should start preparation at high school level , but do not assume it to be mandatory , as NIFT exam is all about your ability to effectively execute your ideas and creativity in a piece of paper ,so first identify your existing skill set and what level you need to take these skill sets to score good ranking in exam . as your school grades are not indicator of these skill sets , so it becomes imperative for NIFT aspirants to choose a mentor & guide, who would actually identify your skill set and at the same time hone up the your own set of competencies.

Fashion and Animation tops comparative student enrollment within design. Animation is growing at a very fast rate primarily for two reasons. The first reason is establishment of animation as a viable career option and second being the abundance availability of animation education in cities of all sizes. Similarly for Fashion Design it is the availability of instruction in this area in all geographies. Fashion and Animation has seen a tremendous growth in urban and semi urban areas where institutes are offering certificate and diploma courses ranging from 3 months duration to 2 years. Many of these institutes are franchises of major institutes. Fashion Design is offered as a 3 year / 4 year Bachelors Degree program by many universities and is also offered as a 3 year diploma course post 10 years of school education.

The Indian design education system offer diverse programs choices at all levels such as certificate, diploma, under graduate and post graduate programs. However most of the post graduate programs are essentially after-graduate programs. This means that at the post graduate level instead of offering instruction that is advanced in nature as compared to under graduate level, instruction offered is similar in content to under graduate programs. The eligibility for admission to these post graduate programs
is “any graduation”. Hence the post graduate program does not build on the knowledge acquired by the student during under graduate studies. Rather it starts with fundamentals of design and cover the under graduate program content in two years. Barring a few exceptions such as the Industrial Design Centre of IIT, Bombay and the Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology (CEPT), Ahmedabad there are virtually no PhD programs in the field of design.

Indian Fashion Industry

The current size of Indian fashion industry stands at around US$ 58 million (2008), is largely unorganized & accounts for barely 0.3 per cent of the international industry’s net worth.
However, the industry is one of the fastest changing and most dynamic industries in the world today. With Indian consumer becoming more fashion conscious, it is the gigantic Indian fashion consuming public that will continue to set the growth trends for its fashion industry.
The Industry is expected to more than double & reach US$ 150 million by 2012.
The Industry is expected to create additional employment opportunities for over 50,000 skilled professionals like fashion designer, merchandiser etc by 2012.
Major disciplines of the industry include —fashion design, textile design, leather design, accessory and jewellery design.
From our survey, out of the total number of designers working in the country, this discipline accounts for nearly 1%.
According to our survey more than 3000 students are being enrolled into these courses.
One of the institution has more than 100 centers across India as franchised centres. There are others also offering training franchises in these disciplines.
Some of the challenges being faced by the Industry include dearth of literature on Indian fashion and textiles, industry is still mostly unorganized, less number of designers developing signature styles which is essential to develop brand.

Fashion Design

Fashion design is an applied art dedicated to clothing and lifestyle accessories created within the cultural and social influences of a specific time.
Fashion designers need to combine their creativity with managerial skills to sustain in the industry.
A trained fashion designer can work in areas like designer wear production, planning and concept management, fashion marketing, design production management, fashion media, quality control, fashion accessory design and promotion of brands.

There are many Design Coaching in Jaipur but if we need to find out the best coaching classes, with best learning experience then Pahal Design comes with 22 Years of academic excellence and more than 40 centres across India including all the metros. (New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad, Gurgaon, Jaipur, Lucknow, Dehradun, Chandigarh, Bhopal, Indore, Patna, Ranchi, Kanpur and many more other cities). Now Pahal Design is in Jaipur at Vaishali Nagar for Design, Architecture and Fine Arts Coaching. If any students are looking for Design, Fashion, Architecture and Fine Arts Coaching or any guidance related to Design Colleges then we have Free Guidance for all Design Students.

The design industry in India is growing at a staggering rate of 23 to 25 per cent annually – it’s an indicative of the qualitative change you find in the look and feel of consumer goods. Industry insiders believe that greater spending power and changing needs of consumers are responsible for the boom in the design industry. “People today are spending more money. From the interiors of their flats to the products they buy, all consumers are looking for that extra value-add. There is this new emphasis on vanity. The culture is shifting and design is a reflection of that shift.” With brand positioning and identity the new buzzwords, industries that form the designer’s client base are a lot more aware about design and its importance.

There are some sectors within the industry that have seen a higher growth of interest than others – animation, graphics, apparel, textiles, automotive, product and software interface design to name a few. This interest has also translated into a greater demand for industrial and communication designers.

Currently, India needs 8,000-10,000 designers a year, while overall availability of qualified designers is only 3,000. To make matters worse, only 500 of these 3,000 are said to be practicing designers. There is a reason why your new car is better looking than your last and why your refrigerator seems more functional than the one you had before.

Design can transform the way we do things, and result in new economic benefits and a better quality of life. The strategic nature of design helps solve problems in ways that are functionally and aesthetically pleasing and make economic sense. Design helps to improve quality and differentiation, offer world class products and services, improve business efficiencies, productivity and margins, increase revenues and achieve higher market share and accelerated growth.

The design industry lags behind other professional services domains in numerical terms when looked at in terms of turnover and number of employees. Architecture, Interior, Animation / New Media, Fashion Design are leading domains within the design industry. Other segments are far behind at present. However with the change in the economic scenario, design domains such as graphic design, industrial design, human computer interaction are growing at a fast clip. The number of design companies is growing as also there is growth in existing companies. There is a good trend of designers opting to start their own setup. Hence most companies existing today are new. The existing companies are consolidating further by adding more services to their portfolio within diverse design disciplines.

India is a large market and at the same unique as well. There is no such thing called as a thumb rule which can describe Indian market or consumers. They vary in cultures, traditions, religions, customers, food, dressing, etc. At the same time the Indian consumer is becoming more demanding and is asserting himself / herself to get his / her aspirations satisfied.

Multinational corporations are focusing on India as a new market for trading their products / services. They understand that successes elsewhere may not necessarily translate in a similar way in India. They will need to understand the market, the sensibilities of the people and respond to them through their offerings. Global corporations will need to work with Indian designers to understand the local market.

To better understand the Indian consumer, to meet the needs and aspirations of this assertive, active, enlightened consumer, Indian businesses and multinational corporations will need to take assistance from Indian designers. This puts a spot light on the design industry as never before.

About Jaipur

The capital of Rajasthan, built proudly by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II is famous for its majestic forts, opulent Havelis, beautiful lakes, and dunes. Jaipur is part of the famous Golden Triangle Tourist circuit that includes Delhi and Agra. But Jaipur is not only endowed with wonderful tourist attractions but the city also has an excellent infrastructure to support the tourism. Jaipur has some of India’s best hotels, which compliments the scenic and architectural beauty of the Pink City.
The historic walled city of Jaipur, was founded in 1727 A.D. by the Rajput ruler Sawai Jai Singh of Kacchawah dynasty. The city is roughly divided into nine rectangular sectors with straight roads intersecting only at right angles and is enclosed within massive wall to protect the city in a total area of 709 hectares.

The wall encircles the city and 9 city gates are present to provide the access to the city from various directions. Several iconic monuments and temples are housed within this walled city area with two main North South axes crossing to form 3 main pubic squares (Badi Chaupar, Choti Chaupar and a 3rd one Ramganj Chaupar extending on the eastern side) on the East West axes that define the overall grid iron city plan. It has a total of 12 main bazaar areas across the main axial streets.
The design of the new city was a breath taking departure from the prevalent practices in city development in the sub-continent. Its urban morphology reflected the coming together of cultural elements from eastern and western planning, expressing a culture of a ‘trade and commerce city’ and townscape that is unparalleled anywhere in South Asia.
Envisaged as a trade capital, the main avenues of the city are designed as markets, which remain characteristic bazaars of the city till date. Chaupar, or designed large public squares at the intersection of roads, is another feature that is distinct to Jaipur as are its single to multicourt havelis and haveli temples.
Besides an exemplary planning, its iconic monuments such as the Govind Dev temple, City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Hawa Mahal excel in artistic and architectural craftsmanship of the period. Jaipur is an expression of the

astronomical skills, living traditions, unique urban form and exemplary foresighted city planning of an 18th century city from India.

Jaipur is considered one of the most prolific examples of a planned city, it exemplifies approaches to city planning, sustainability and spatial manifestation of the social fabric through architecture. The lessons that can be learned by understanding this place are deep rooted in its context and are beautiful. Each place has lessons that can teach us about the importance of foresight, planning and mindful use of resources. An effort should be made to make it an inherent part of education and moreover an integral part of design education.

The newly prominent architectural buildings of Jaipur are a blend of advanced technology and exquisite design with a touch of traditional art. World Trade Park of Jaipur is a world-class infrastructure designed by renowned architects who have several architectural wonders in his account like the world’s biggest pillar-less rooftop (Sabha Mandap of Govind Devji Temple, which is notified by The Guinness Book of Records), first revolving tower of Rajasthan and many more. The Satsang hall within the Govind Devji’s Temple has a reinforced concrete cement flat roof with a simple soan of 119 ft.
With people from all over the country going to Jaipur for studies, today it has become an education hub also. If you are searching for a good education, then there cannot be a place better than Jaipur. A place where there is no political disturbance, no goons to threaten you here and there, a place to give you a busy life when you need it, a place which would give you the country’s heritage to enjoy any time you need, a place which would give you the mountains and the lakes for a relaxing tour, and the most comfortable evening for studies.

Within the context of formal education, the Art and design as a subject on the curriculum supports personal, social, moral, spiritual, cultural, and creative development, and enables participants to engage with and explore visual, tactile, and other sensory experiences and how to recognize and communicate ideas and meanings. These opportunities enable them to work with traditional and new media so that they develop confidence, competence, imagination, and creativity. Through these opportunities, they learn to appreciate and value images and artifacts across times and cultures, and to understand the contexts in which they were made. A fine arts education—be it in music, theatre, dance, creative writing, visual arts, or art history and visual studies—is not always an easy sell. The social utility and financial feasibility of the arts are often underrated. Innovation and adaptability are essential components of any fine arts education.

Experiences in art, craft, and design enable them to learn how to reflect critically on their own and others’ work. They learn to think and act as artists, makers, and designers, working creatively and intelligently. They develop an appreciation of and engagement in art, craft, and design as critical consumers and audiences and an understanding of its role in the creative and cultural industries that shape and enrich their lives.

There are abundant government and private universities present in Jaipur which focusses on the School of Architecture and design. Arch College of Design & Business. INIFD Jaipur, Indian Institute of Gems and Jewellery Jaipur, Indian Institute of Crafts & Design, IIFA INDIA are some of the best examples. As per the latest update among top colleges, the second-best private institute; Pearl Academy Jaipur for Fashion Design is recognized by India Today for the past three consecutive years. Pearl awards Professional Diploma from Pearl Academy and B. Des. Degree from Rajasthan ILD Skill University (RISU). Sounds exciting? Enroll in Pahal design and prepare for a better future in design and technology. Get the best practical experience with the rich heritage of Jaipur and let us help you to make your dreams come true in this beautiful city.

October 8 is celebrated as the Air Force Day because on this day, the Air Force in India was officially raised in 1932 as the supporting force of the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom. The first operational squadron came into being in April 1933. After participation in World War II, the Air Force in India came to be called the Royal Indian Air Force in the mid 1940s. In 1950, after the republic came into being it became the Indian Air Force. From six officers and 19 Hawai Sepoys back in 1933, the Air Force now is the fourth largest in the world.

For several decades until 2005-06, the Air Force Day used to be marked by the main event, parade and flypast at Palam. But due to the increasing air traffic issues, it was shifted to Hindon Air Force Base in Ghaziabad which is home to two squadrons of transport aircraft and a helicopter unit among other establishments. The flypasts and displays on the occasion have traditionally showcased the in service aircraft and systems of the Air Force. “Its a day to pay tribute to countless sacrifices made by air warriors in not just in safeguarding the skies but also in numerous humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations taken up till now and in the days to come.”

I am a girl and I made this rakhi for my elder sister using ribbon, clay, some old beads and stickers because at our family we don’t believe that it is only a brother’s job to ‘protect’ his sister. Rakha bandhan is a bond of love and whether it be brothers or sisters they can all protect and care for each – other alike.

I have used threads , some golden Pearl’s , some small silver stones , scissor and fevicol in this rakhi to symbolize that our bond always remains strong like threads that binds two souls in a bond of joy forever shine like pearls and unbreakable like stone…..
Wish My Brother A Very
Happy Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan is celebrated throughout the country to celebrate this pure bond between siblings. Here in Pahal Design Institute we’ve got the opportunity to participate in this Rakhi competition and I’ve made this colourful Rakhi with a ribbon, used craft paper, old bindis and craft material leaves along with diamond shaped mirror with lots of efforts and love for my brother who absolutely loved seeing it on his wrist. Though we always fight like cats and dogs, keep teasing each other but he’s always been my partner in crime, and my best friend when it comes to convincing our parents or listening to each other’s nonsense stuff. This dramatic, colourful and glowing Rakhi perfectly describes the unique relationship shared by me n my bhai. Name:- ishika arora

My brother is a biker and he is extremely fond of leather products so I made a leather rakhi for him using vegan leather and pearls. I took a contemporary view on traditional rakhis and keeping in mind the Hindu festival used 100% vegan leather.

I made this rakhi, with the help of matchsticks, to give a floral design, and as we all know that that in Hindu’s festives for showing goodness and purity red and yellow colour is used, so taking this concept i also made the red and yellow furry decorating material with the help of threads,which highlights my rakhi and I used oxidised little pearls and last but not least in the centre i use a beautiful reflective stone.
HAPPY RAKSHABANDHAN.

My sister is my role model and she is always there for me, motivates me to do better in life and fulfills all the responsibilities of a brother. She is my sister as well as my brother. My sister’s favourite color is green so i made her a green colored raakhi using green threads, some stones and beautiful white pearls. I used the things which were already available here at my home to celebrate our “lockdown wala rakhi”

Ye Lamhaa Kuch Khaas Hai,pandemic ka time start hai ,
Sister Ke Haathon Me Brother Ka Haath Hai, with hand made rakhi !!
I have made this rakhi by the help of mould it clay , nd used Jewellry wires to make hooks ! I have applied mod podge to make it waterproof . The embroidery work is done by self made ceremic tubes ! I was made lotus on the rakhi as lotus is the symbol of purity , symbol of divine perfection , also most liked by goddess lami who shower blessing for good Heath nd prosperity! All the bright colors are been used to symbolise “shine bright “ even when surrounding are dark nd dull ! 🙂🙂😇😇

My Rakhi represents Corona as we all can’t stop thinking about it. As this pandemic has shutdown everything around us. But one positive outcome we can say is that it gives us a lot of family time together…
So this Rakhi I wish all of us to be strong, healthy and safe.
Astha

I have used pearls in this rakhi to symbolise that our bond always remains strong and unbreakable and we stay together just like these beautiful pearls. Understanding between me and my bro remains as clear as these pearls

I made this rakhi for my sister… being a fashion design aspirant, she always appreciate the hand woven tradition of the Indian culture..I used embroidery thread and wool and beautifully weaved intricate crotchet flower.. Being amidst the bounty Mother Nature, I’m greatly influenced.. So therefore made the rakhi’s band of green and yellow colour, representing the birth and senescence of the leaves. This rakhi is the symbolism of the ebbing Indian tradition and the Mother Nature…. Srishti Lahiri

Raksha Bandhan also called rakhi ,is the Hindu festival that celebrates brotherhood and love . The word Raksha means protection ,whilst bandhan means tie .
In our culture it is believed that when a women ties a rakhi around the hand of man it becomes obligatory for him to honour his religious duty and also protect her .
Rakhi is the symbol of love and prosperity

To the butterfly of my life, my sister. Not only does she bring light and happiness in my life but also motivates me everyday to grow and shine.

This year because of the pandemic,I could not tie rakhi to my brother but it didn’t stop me from celebrating the festival. I tied rakhi to my sister and celebrated the festival because it’s not about a brother protecting his sister but about siblings protecting each other and being there for each other always!

My Rakshabandhan story!
Rakshabandhan is a very special occasion that strengthens the intimate bonding between a brother and a sister.. So, to make this day more special , I participated in the ” Hand made rakhi competition” organised by the Pahal institute.
In this lockdown time, with little resources , i made a rakhi using a few papers , ear buds, stones and a satin ribbon.
My brother and I may fight and argue together but this rakhi is a gesture of pure love for my brother and is filled with lots of love and a promise to always stick by his side.😊🌼

My brother is an artist and he is extremely interested in drawing and colouring.He is fond of using colourful products so, I thought to make colourful rakhi using pearis and colourful threads which shows his emotions such as….. Red which means love , Orange shows his confidence, Yellow shows his creativity, Blue shows that he is responsible, trusting, and peaceful , Maroon shows his strength and Purple shows he is noble

Since my sister is the only sibling I have…I have made this for my sister, with whole heart and unlimited love.
So the rakhi is made up of yellow and red thread,mauli,which is considered very sacred for Hindus. It’s believed that this thread protects us. The base is made of raw red net available at home.It has five petals at the back and 3 at front which when summed makes her b’day month 5+3=8 and the three(silver) hidden behind the front petals(blue) when further added makes my b’day month 5+3+3= 11;she being elder protects me most of the times . Then there is a pom pom that adds to the beauty of rakhi.

Each head of matchstick represents each state of india and there are group of 3 matchsticks,total 8 in number which represents the 8 union territories and also I used yellow colour which represents relationship of happiness and green colour which represents health which we wish for everyone. Also it is comfortable to wear as the base of this rakhi is made up of soft cloth so that it wont hurt.

In Indian tradition, the frangible thread of rakhi is considered even stronger than an iron chain as it strongly binds a brothers and a sisters in the circumference of mutual love and trust. And my brother is younger than me so here a cute smile for him.❤️

Not only a brother but a sister also protects the sister….❤

This year due to pandemic we all are unable to go market to buy rakhi. So I thought to make at home. I’ve made this rakhi with some limited materials available at home. Used thread for base, cloth for making flower and for decoration I wasn’t having fancy materials so I used wire and some pearl head pins.Amrita Priya

I have made Lord Ganesha in the centre of the rakhi to give our relation a new start where we create a lot of good new memories as Lord Ganesha is worshipped before beginning of every puja so that everything remains smooth. And I have used different other colors to symbolise that relation b/w me and and my sister remains colorful and full of good vibes.

राखी कर देती है सभी गीले शिकवे दूर इतनी ताकतवर होती है कच्चे धागे की पावन डोर…i made this rakhi usking a ribbon and flowers. Also i used pink colour as it represents love and happiness and a pearl as it symbolises long life; it is snug to wear as the base is made up of soft ribbon.

Hello!
Ananta Vyas here,
And this is my entry for the rakhi making competition.
My rakhi is flower themed, the concentric blooming flowers represent the love between me and my sister, that like a flower would grow stronger, sweeter with each passing year. My rakhi is made using different paper folding techniques. Also, since i am aspiring to be a designer, i wanted to add a little innovative twist to my rakhi, therefore it is not just a rakhi but also like a little card, that opens and has my sister’s picture and a little note that i wrote for her.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe rakshabandhan! ✨
Thank you.
