Lac pieces are first melted in a shallow vessel or kadai. When it is in a semi-molten state, beroza, giya pathar powder, and color are added to it. The mixture is stirred continuously. The colored lac is now stuck on the end of the wooden stick.
The lac (without pigment) stuck around a wooden rod is heated slowly over the coal burner or angethi. It is simultaneously pressed with a stone or a wooden tool called hattha at regular intervals. When it is sufficiently warm and soft, it is wrapped with the desired color by rubbing the colored lac stick on it evenly. For this purpose the colored lac stick also has to be warm enough and is therefore heated over the burner. After the color has been applied to the lac base it is shaped into a thin coil with the help or hattha and cut off from the plain lac rod. The coil is heated over the burner so that the ends can be joined together to form a bangle. After being joined it is slipped through a round wooden beam (with a tapering end for different sizes) and adjusted for size. The bangle is ready to be embellished with sequins, semi-precious stones, etc. The sequins are placed on a tin foil and heated over a burner. They are warmed so that they can melt the lac surface on which they are placed and stick there after solidification. They are picked up one at a time and stuck on the bangle. The process requires great precision. It takes much longer when working with smaller sized sequins.

Prateet,
ReplyDeletePlease do not copy paste from other sites. (http://lacbanglemaker.weebly.com/6-procedure-of-making-bangles.html) It counts as plagiarism, especially when you do not give references or quotation marks.
Both in academic and professional work this counts as plagiarism. If you wish to refer to another article, then you put the reference in so that you acknowledge the use/influence of those ideas. Secondly, if you wish to quote other people's work please use quotation marks on the parts that you are presenting verbatim in your piece and also attribute it to the original author.
Lastly, it is unacceptable that one copy pastes entire paragraphs from another article that one has read in such a way that it constitutes more than 10% of the total word limit of one's own piece of writing.
I understand that we often end up adopting copy-pasting as an easy way out due to work pressure, strictures posed by deadlines or because creating original work of any kind is plain challenging and time consuming. However that is exactly what we need to learn. How to think originally and also getting to a place where we do it faster and finally with greater efficiency. To my mind trying to represent what we saw, experienced, learned faithfully is the easiest route to new and original creation. That is the best way of not relying primarily on other people's work.
I hope you will reflect on this comment seriously. Also because plagiarism besides being unprofessional and unethical is treated as a serious charge in professional practice.
