The time to invoke the Godess who grants boons (vara) came a little early this year. As the days drew closer, fears rose that there would not be enough flowers from the garden like previous years. But, at the end of it all, there was more than enough to deck up the swing, for some rangolis by BigC and me and to share with friends. Even the new cactus Dahlia and lotus bloomed just in time for Her. Lavender, lilies, marga and pathre (scented geranium) lend themselves divinely to create the scents of a pooja.
As Nanny and me conjured up the rangoli, BigC got impatient and was setup with another board to make her own. She did pretty well drawing inspiration from ours. This was followed by a week at Grace Art camp from where a set of Peruvian dolls joined our BombeMane. |
