The white rabbit of Nadiya. A ganga-yamuna dress. Gandharvika's skirt comes up on her left side. A few inches off center. Her belt also fits that way. Someone thought that was put on wrong but that is the way the seamstress designed it. Giridhari has a cumberbund that is put on beneath his vest. i suppose it's to be seen through the lace of the vest. Mahaprabhu was supposed to have rope like belt but it just wouldn't fit so he has a more normal sash.
The sun was out today so there were many pedalers taking the opportunity to spin along the opal cliff, the boardwalk, the lighthouse park and the murti of the sufferer. The murti had a new garland on today. Some would use that as an example of idolitry. The sufferer stands with no shelter and must allow sea gulls and such to land, stand in the rain and sun, the cold and heat. Then when the spirit moves whoever the sufferer gets a new garland and perhaps gets cleaned. hmmmmmmm. After that the pedalers followed the road to the natural bridge and then back to the asrama via the mission street featuring the mission school, the clock tower, the motorcycle shop and such.
As usual the most blessed event is to come in to help the Lord into his night dress, clean the altar and put him into bed. Perhaps he only lies down for the moment or two that i remain butat least i see that he's safe in his bed.
