Topic: Gaddi


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Gaddi (ethnic group) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gaddis are a tribe hailing from the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
The Gaddis are not really nomadic, since they have homes in villages, but transhumance is a traditional practise: they generally travel with their flocks to higher pastures in the summer.
Most of the other castes of Gaddis are thought to be descended from people who fled to the hills to escape the mughal emperor Aurangzeb's persecutions in the 17th century CE.

 Sacred Response to Environment - The Gaddi and His Mountain
The Gaddi annual calendar of activities is accordingly divided into two halves and represents two distinct modes of life during the summer months at Bharmaur and the high passes of the Dholadhar, and winter months in the valley of Kangra.
The Gaddi universe is spatially conceived of as being on a vertical axis.1 On the one end of the axis is Shiva’s Kailasa and on the other is the nether land.
The life of the Gaddi shepherd is a life of discipline, austerity, and acknowledgement of the interdependence and bondedness of man with the great forces of nature and its eternal rhythm.

 Taddeo Gaddi Biography / Biography of Taddeo Gaddi 700 To 1449: Technology and Invention Biography
Gaddi, whose full name was Taddeo di Gaddo Gaddi, was born in Florence in about 1300.
Gaddi had also embarked on a second career as an architect, designing the Ponte Trinita, a bridge downriver from Florence that was destroyed in the 1500s.
Gaddi's design called for fewer piers in the stream—just two—than did the traditional semicircular arch design handed down from the Romans, and this meant that the bridge created fewer obstructions to boat traffic, thus enabling a greater flow of commerce at the river port.

 [No title]
Signora Gaddi stared at the coins in her hand for a long time, and then looked up to smile apologetically at the doctor.
The clinical terms are acalculia, for people like Signora Gaddi who lost her sense of numbers after a stroke, and dyscalculia for people who were born without numbers.
Gaddi's number blindness, a condition called acalculia, is evidence that the brain may be biologically "wired" for mathematics.

 Madonna and Child Enthroned with Angels and Saints by GADDI, Taddeo
This painting and the small Berlin triptych of 1353 are the only signed and dated works by Taddeo Gaddi that have survived, works that are therefore highly important for establishing a point of reference for this master's late style.
He was responsible for popularising the master's style and laid the foundations on which the painting of the second half of the fourteenth century was built.
Like other contemporary artists, Gaddi attempted to fuse the two great cultural sources represented by Giotto and Ambrogio Lorenzetti; the result is a nobly oratorical style, with little emphasis on the narrative dimension, and a dissolving of Giottesque drama into a dignified yet academic oratory.

 Research - Vol. III No. 1 April - June 1995
The Gaddi notions of Space and Time as well as their eco-socio-cultural configurations are conceptually derived form this upward downward movement of Lord Shiva.
the Gaddi annual calendar of activities is accordingly divided into two halves and represents two distinct modes of life during the summer months at Bharmaur and high passes of the Dhauladhar, and winter months in the valley of Kangra.
Through this Jatar the Gaddi not only celebrates his socio-cultural and moral order but attempts to transcend this order, going beyond the boundaries of mundane space and time in order to be one with the cosmic realm of Lord Shiva - the Lord of the Dhauladhar.

"Like in the case of Egyptian traditional dances, the moment a gaddi dancer gets into the wheeling step, she instantly slips into a trance, as if in meditation," explains Vidhi, who is in Dharamsala as part of her research on the local dances of the Himalyan regions.
It was purely incidental that a gaddi dance performance was being staged in McLeodganj during her last visit to meet the Dalai Lama.
The same steps from the gaddi dance cast a spell on the audience when they were recently presented in Persia with Sufi dancers.

Gaddi Vasquez’s bid to become Peace Corps director has taken more hits than Tony Soprano.
Since last summer, when President George W. Bush tapped the ex-county supervisor, countless former Peace Corps volunteers have questioned whether a man partly responsible for the 1994 Orange County bankruptcy—the largest in U.S. history—can properly supervise an agency with offices in 77 countries and an annual budget of $275 million.
Former LULAC district director Manny Marroquín said Vasquez’s role in the bankruptcy was irrelevant.

Opened in 1953 and named after a former general manager of The Peninsula, Gaddi's was long considered the best European restaurant in Hong Kong.
Although that reputation has since been challenged by the birth of many other superb restaurants, the service is still excellent, the waiters are professional, and the food -- classically French but with inventive, European influences -- is always beyond reproof.
Gaddi's is still a legend in Asia, the epitome of old Hong Kong.
