The vegetation, crop-pattern is also regulated by this movement and thus sowing, reaping of particular crops, correspond to the astronomical lunar or solar calendar. This is universal. The solar and lunar calendar is the most fundamental device of tribal, rural, urban continuum and interaction, even within single communities. In circumscribed time, for that specific duration, all spatial and level hierarchies are broken and equalization or reversal of roles takes place. Artistic manifestation is intrinsic to this life-style and the punctuation of rhythm through rites and rituals and festivals is common.
Space is consecrated or enlarged.
Finally, the life-cycle from birth to death, rebirth provides another framework of time where physical and metaphysical, sacred and profane, coalesce and interpenetrate. Further, the fairs and festivals aim at creating in circumscribed space and time, the experience of cosmic space and time. Its outermost manifestation verbal, kinetic and aural is called art and ritual. Inseparable from the above are crafts in a society. Each of them has a utilitarian as well as symbolic function.
