Navratri Moments

I am happy to be back and happy to share photos of the recently concluded Navrathri festival. It was a beautiful nine days and nine nights of celebration for me and my family.

Besides other aspects, the arrival of Goddesses Durga during Navrathri leads to an out burst of creativity in everyone's home. Young and old, everyone becomes an artist during the celebration, creating innovative images of Goddesses Durga and her family. There is no end to our imagination, as the goddess is adorned in beautiful attire during this time. The themes for Durga puja vary in different homes, from environmental awareness to fairy tales.

It is a wonderful thought, the notion that we are all part of this universe that the Almighty created. And through our creations, we pay a tribute to the Goddesses.

Other than dressing up the Goddesses, I also created a miniature rural landscape whose theme revolved around environmental awareness and the importance of trees and forests. Thank you for your visit, your comments are welcome..:)

  1. Photo 12 reminds me of our more traditional Nativity Scenes (cribs) that we display in our homes on Christmas. It makes me think that all religions aren't so different after all.
    And the spurt of creativity is also shared in my religion.
    So sweet to witness your ways.
    Thank you for sharing Dear Friend,

Diwali With Lights

The word Deepavali stems from the Sanskrit words, Deepa meaning ‘Light’ and Avali meaning ‘Row’. It means a row of lights and illumination is undoubtedly its main attraction. Deepavali, the festival of lights, even to this day, projects the rich and glorious past of our country and teaches us to uphold the true values of life.    THE FLICKERING LIGHT OF A FLAME IS TRULY MAGICAL. SCENTED POTPOURRI AND NATURALLY DRIED LEAVES ADD TO THE OCCASION.    GO AHEAD AND CREATE AN INVITING DECOR FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO ADD TO THE FESTIVE SPIRIT   A WINDOW LEDGE TRANSFORMED WITH THE ONSET OF THE FESTIVE FERVOUR.THIS IS A WINDOW DRESSING FOR DIWALI   CREATE AND TRANSFORM THE SPACE AND LEAVE AN EPHEMERAL IMPRINT THE RUSTIC AND ETHNIC LOOK OF THE LAMPS.

A Wedding to Remember.:)))

 When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other,when they have seen that they are matched, in a word they are alike, compatible and established a union for ever between them. A union illuminated & pure for ever and ever.. This union is love, true love filled with full of sweetest delights & compassion. My second son Capt Siddharth and sweet Saumya tied the knot on 16th Feb. The wedding was a grand event with both the families coming together to bless the wonderful couple. Sharing few photos of the wedding in the blog- post today with rest of you all.:)))   Please visit Nap on the porch  

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M
