The full moon today. That means the Deities wear some kind of white. Used to be there was one dress for purnima. Now there are at least three. Today was the Superstar. Named be cause Mahaprabhu was given a bracelet with a star in the middle. This outfit was a Gaura Purnima offering so usually i take the name from what Mahaprabhu's dress inspires me. He has a turban in this set while Gandharvika and Giridhari wear their sivler crowns. Mahaprabhu's kirta is extremely long and he has a belt with mirror apliques to form the center. Giridhari has little pink rosebuds on his kirta and dancing skirt. Gandharvika has pink seedbeads hanging fron her choli like fringe. Also they are on the bottom of her skirt. SGM liked this outfit a lot one person told me.
An overcast, foggy day. Another good day for pedaling since the temperature was a little cooler. Still there were many people out. Some on tandems others with their children on attached wheels. A smaller number than usual of people training for the races. Even a few on the opal cliffs with suffering boards fixed on their frames. Everyone loves to pedal it seems.
In the ninth this evening. Krsna has a long coat that doesn't flow upward. His dhoti forms a kick pleat though. Gandhavika's sari is blue with a wide red-orange boarder. A set that might not make someone think of pajamas when they see it for the first time.
