Osmania University Introduces “Paragamanjari”: A Revolutionary Art Form Inspired by Pollen Morphology
Hyderabad, Oct 24 (Maxim News): Osmania University proudly announces the creation of a novel art form, “Paragamanjari,” which incorporates the intricate beauty of pollen morphology into textile design. This groundbreaking initiative combines science and art, using the microscopic yet highly ornate structures of pollen grains (ranging from 10-100 µm) to inspire breathtaking textile motifs. The result is a new category of design, blending nature’s intricate patterns with human creativity to produce a stunning range of fabrics.

The term “Paragamanjari” derives from Sanskrit, with “Paraga” meaning “pollen” and “manjari” signifying “design.” Coined by Dr. Allam Vijaya Bhasker Reddy, Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany at Osmania University, and Ms. Shivani Netha, an M.Sc. student, as part of her project work, this innovative design philosophy introduces a fresh artistic perspective akin to the famous Kalamkari, Pochampally, Dharmavaram, and Uppada traditions.
This pioneering concept has been submitted for patent protection and, once approved, is expected to make a significant impact on both the textile and design industries. What sets Paragamanjari apart is its unique inspiration drawn from the ornamental patterns of pollen, marking the first time that such natural microscopic elements have been incorporated into textile design. This innovation not only adds to the rich heritage of Indian textiles but also opens up new possibilities for design diversity, with thousands of potential patterns waiting to be explored.

The project’s success represents an important collaboration between botany and textile technology, elevating the study of palynology—the science of pollen—beyond its traditional academic boundaries. By integrating these scientific elements into textile design, Paragamanjari also paves the way for its inclusion in future textile technology curricula, highlighting the synergy between natural science and creative industries.
With this breakthrough, Osmania University once again demonstrates its leadership in innovation. Paragamanjari is poised to revolutionize the world of textiles, offering a fresh and unprecedented artistic avenue inspired by nature’s smallest yet most intricate creations. (Maxim News)
