X is portrayed as a motherly figure, often nursing or carrying
as many as eight infants in her arms. Her complexion is
usually depicted as yellow or golden. A Dhyana-mantra – a
hymn describing the iconography of a deity, upon which a
devotee of X should meditate – describes her as a fair young
woman with a pleasant appearance, bedecked in divine
garments and jewellery with an auspicious twig laying in her
lap. A cat is the vahana (mount) upon which she rides. Older
depictions of X may show her as cat-faced, while another
reference describes her as bird-faced.
In Kushan era representations between the first and third
centuries she is depicted as two-armed and six-headed like
Skanda. A significant number of Kushan and Yaudheya coins,
sculptures and inscriptions produced from 500 BCE to 1200 CE

Spix's macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii), also
known as the little blue macaw, is a
macaw native to Brazil. It was first
described by German naturalist Georg
Marcgrave, when he was working in the
State of Pernambuco, Brazil in 1638 and it
is named for German naturalist Johann
Baptist von Spix, who collected a specimen
in 1819 on the bank of the Rio São
Francisco in northeast Bahia in Brazil.
The bird is a medium size parrot weighing
about 300 grams (0.66 lb), smaller than
most of the large macaws. Its plumage is
various shades of blue, with a grey-blue
head, light blue underparts, and vivid blue
upperparts. Males and females are
identical in appearance, the females being
a little smaller on average. How we known

The pancha is considered formal wear all over the
country. In addition to all government and traditional
family functions, the pancha is also considered
acceptable at country clubs and at other establishments
that enforce strict formal dress codes. The same is true
across the Indian subcontinent, particularly in
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives. In many of
these countries, the garment has become something of a
mascot of cultural assertion, being greatly favoured by
politicians and cultural figures. Thus, the pancha for
many has taken on a more cultural nuance while the suit-and-
tie or, in less formal occasions, the ubiquitous shirt
and pants, are seen as standard formal and semi-formal
wear. How we known the dress Pancha?

The association AOTT sprung up a few years back in
Mumbai to provide insurance for a certain group of
people. Because it is borderline illegal, the AOTT has no

feature officially in any Google search result. The only
way to join the association is through recommendations
by a friend who is a member.
A monthly premium of Rs. 100 or an annual premium of
Rs. 500 are the subscription fees for this kind of
insurance. More people are expected to join this
association after the announcement of this year’s
budget.
