Amavasya! The dark moon day. The honey bee outfit. Even the bracelets have bee hives on them. What's with Mahaprabhu's dhoti? Someone asked. It's like Giridhari's kick pleat. Was the answer. Giridhari has a bamboo flute he plays with this dress. It too has flowers and honey bees painted on it. Though we've been told not to dress the Deities in all or mostly black the back drop is just that, mostly black. A fine outfit.
The rain and wind let up just long enough to get some pedaling in today. They called it stormy Monday and Tuesday was just about as bad. There was mud and grime everywhere. All those who ventured out for pedaling were covered with it.
The velvet night dress. It seems like the Deities knew how cold it was going to be tonight and so made sure i put that dress on them. The right sleeve in Giridhari's coat fits just snugly enough to make it real difficult to put on him but still doable. Usually he makes me forget to put on the jewelry for his outfit and then watches as i try to correct my mistake but tonight he had me do it right the first time.
