Question 1

What is रेशा प्रबलित आभूषण (Fibre-Reinforced Ornament)?

Accepted Answer

Fibre-Reinforced Ornament (Phā'ibara Prabaliṭa Ābhūṣaṇa), or रेशा प्रबलित आभूषण (Resha Prabaliṭa Ābhūṣaṇa) in Hindi, represents a modern adaptation of traditional ornamentation techniques in Indic architecture. This composite material, typically a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers, offers a lightweight alternative to traditional stone carvings. Density ranges from 1.5-2.0 g/cm³, with tensile strengths of 100-500 MPa [2]. While not directly analogous to ancient practices, its use echoes the desire for intricate detailing seen in Mauryan and Gupta period structures. Traditional materials like sandstone (बलुआ पत्थर, Balua Patthar) sourced from quarries across the subcontinent were historically employed. Conservation efforts at sites like Ajanta and Ellora necessitate materials with compatible properties. Durability is a key consideration, with resistance to corrosion being a significant advantage over traditional materials. However, long-term weathering and UV degradation require careful assessment. The selection of appropriate fiber fineness testers [1] is crucial for quality control. The use of तंतु प्रबलित आभूषण (Tantu Prabaliṭa Ābhūṣaṇa) in restoring damaged structures aims to preserve the aesthetic integrity of heritage sites.
