"There are so many colors in the chodder, I just can't believe it" the seamstress told me while she was making this dress. She didn't know it but she was naming the dress. She hates it when that happens. Today the hair decorations were really done for Sunday but somehow they fit for this dress too. The garlands are of rose petals and a handful of whole roses in each garland. Two in the center for Giridhari, one for Gandharvika and Mahaprabhu has just some extra petals. This is the first dress that Gandharvika has a skirt with the veil attached. later the seamstress decided that didn't work so she either makes saris or separates the veil. So many evolutions so that even the Deities clothes are a dynamic thing.
Wow, peddaling outside today was faster than yesterday but there was still some to do on the nowhere bike. i just have to cast my mind back to the days of my mispent youth and the morning paper route in the farm land of a never never land.
They've got a name for the areas of india, they call east bengal the Radha desa, call this dress baby blue. One of the most elegant night dresses. Jewelry made just for this one completes the scene. While Mahaprabhu and Gandharvika are in the baby blue with white trim, Giridhari is reversed since his skin color is the "heavenly cloud" that would disapear in the baby blue of the dress.
