this outfit is painted silk. First the outline is drawn on. Then the painting is done. After that it is allowed to dry. When that's done then it's washed and dryed in another special process. Mahaprabhu and Gandharvika have blue and pink lotus flowers. Gandharvika has dragon flies also. Krsna has yellow with blue and pink lotus flowers. Since all the silk was white to begin with each color had to be put on separatly.It all took a couple of months. The result was a light almost water color look. Impressive for sure.
Another break in the storm. The roads were still kind of flooded near the temple but in town they were more dry. Still it required careful and alert pedaling to get around today.
The first night it seemed cold enough for winter chodders an orana sasti of sorts.
