A master class by doll artist Marusya Novokreshchenova on creating traditional Russian rag dolls was held at the Russian House in New Delhi.
Russian students tried to make Russian folk figurines with their own hands for the first time. To create them, they used cotton fabric, threads and body filler. Traditionally, ash, grain, flax tow or rags were used to stuff the dolls.
Rag dolls originated from ritual figurines associated with the worship of a female deity, cults of fertility, ancestors and the hearth. Ash, grain, flax tow and rags were used to stuff the rag dolls. It was believed that such dolls brought good luck to the home and drove out illnesses. "During the process of creating dolls, we were able to relax our souls, feel the joy of the beauty born in our hands and better understand Russian culture," the Indian students shared their emotions.
