Banana is a great emollient for your skin and hair. They are rich in protein and natural fats and can be used on all skin types. An easy facemask that will make your skin supple is to apply mashed banana all over your skin and leave it on for 2o minutes, rinse off with warm water and moisturize after that. Mashed banana also makes a wonderful hair conditioner when mixed with a 1 tablespoon of honey. Perfect for keeping hair beautiful even if dyed regularly.






Lemons

Lemones

Oranges are a good source of Vitamin C which is known to improve the skin texture and color.





Papaya

Papaya

This fruit is the best bet when it comes to skin care, papaya is a good source of Vitamin A and papain. Vitamin A acts as an anti-oxidant, while the papain breaks down inactive proteins and removes dead skin cells. The best feature of the fruit is its low sodium quality. Since the salt content is less, the water retention is also little. The result is an overall hydrated skin. Rub mashed papaya on cracked heels to remove dead cell and make feet softer.Papaya- rich in papain enzyme and Vitamin A, is the best treatment for exfoliating your skin. For having a fresh and glowing skin apply mashed papaya and 3 teaspoons of aloe vera gel and massage all over your body monthly. Leave on your skin for no more than five minutes and rinse thoroughly. Use it with caution for the first time as it may sometimes irritate sensitive skin.







Pineapple

Pineapple

Like papaya, pineapples are great skin softeners, which cleanses and rejuvenates dull and dry skin. Use pineapple slices on rough skin spots like knees, elbows, and heels. Use a slice of pineapple as you would a sponge or loofah to scrub your body in the bath or shower.






Peach

Peach

Peach is packed with potassium and flavonoids apart from Vitamin A. It helps revitalising and hydrating epidermis. The antioxidants help wounds recover faster and prevents signs of early ageing. Grate one peach, mix with sugar and use as a face scrub.Peaches are highly emollient and perfect for dry skin types. Mash a fresh peach and combine with a tablespoon of plain yogurt to make a smooth paste. Apply on the skin and leave it on for 20 mins and then rinse off with warm water. Your skin will feel moisturized and supple to the touch.







Pomegranates

Pomegranates


Pomegranates are excellent for oily and combination skin. Rich in AHA, pomegranate juice can be used as an astringent and is also a natural toner. Crush pomegranate seeds and use it as a scrub for skin care,this will remove excess oil and make your skin look fresh.

Fishes of Orissa - Local fish names English - Odia ( Oriya ) in Odisha

Fish Names in Oriya/ Odia( Local fish names of fishes in Orissa / Odisha )

Did you know Mahanadi Mahseer (Tor mosal Mahanadicus) is the state fish of Odisha. Local residents of Huma and Maneswar near Sambalpur on the banks of the Mahanadi refer to the mahasheer as kado. The village, otherwise popular for its Humma temple is a renowned historical monument, is situated on the bank of the river Mahanadi, about 40 km from Sambalpur city has become a destination for environmentalist for its conservation of Mahashir : a fish typical to the Mahanadi that flows by the temple. This place is reverence of kado or mahaseer fish as an incarnation of Lord Vishnu in his Matsya avatar. In an ancient folk tale, a fisherman’s wife was turned into stone while cutting a kado. A monument on an island opposite the Huma temple has statues of the fisherman and his wife. “Mahasheer” in Odia means big (maha) head (sheer).With the help of its temple committee, therefore, the villagers have made it mandatory for fishermen to fish all other species, but not the Kado. The most important role played in conservation is that of the fisher folk in the village who do not fish Mahashir, despite its commercial importance. “Even if a Kado gets caught in the net, we release it back to the river. Catching or hurting these fish is a sin,” said a fisherman.

The best season for sighting kado fish is between the winters around November, after Kartik Poornima and till the beginning of the monsoon in June. This is the time when the water is clear and quiet. This is a trout species confined to rocky upstream portions of the river.
