Topped with a gold crown, his necklaces are deep green and white. Gandharivika has a blue sari with ganga-yamuna designs. She wears a similarganga-yamuna belt. One of Her necklaces is red with a heart in the center. The second is blue and white with blue stones in the center that are in the shape of tiger’s claws. Her crown is silver and red with deep blue accents. A new hair dresser started today. Good enough and i’m sure there will be improvement in time. And why did the swami and i keep laughing at each other during mangala arati?
The rains are back. Today there were several showers followed by clear and almost sunny streaches. i had to pedal between the rain drops again today. many fewer pedalers out there today due to the change in the enviornment. But still a good enough day to get in some quiet miles.
Another Friday night. This is the night before a holiday so there is much decorating going on in the temple itself. Preparations for a big offering are begining in the kitchen. Dressing the Deities has much background noiseto listen to.
