About A present to all sisters of ikOlam :-) : PRINT

Deepavali is a long festival. It starts on the 13th day and goes on until the fifth day after the new moon. Several legends are associated with this - the story of Rama, the story of Krishna, the story of Lakshmi, the story of Bali. The second day is for the brothers and the third day for the sisters. The fourth day is for the serpents (fertility rites) and the fifth day for the garuDa (to be free from snake bites). As a big brother (by age) in ikOlam, here is a present for all the younger and (may be very few) older sisters. You can see a sari designed by me with gorgeous mango borders and a paisley pallav, pEDA and murukku arranged symmetrically, coconuts, fruits, betel leaves and turmeric. Enjoy!

A saree design with the pallu shown separately! Who would've thought! Smile
The pedas have a unique rose-petal shape. Thank you for your thoughtful gift mOhanaji.
(nice timing too, people who didn't get to buy a Diwali saree like me, do feel a lot better after looking at this!) Smile

Thank you Mohanaji for the big brother's gift during Deepavali. Bengalis celebrate this as bhai dhuj and do poojas to brother as they do during the Holy.
