All three have belts to match. The crowns were also made for this dress by the seamstress. She cut them out of the cloth and put some backing to make them stiff enough to stand and then Giridhari's has real peacock feathers along the top. The small Deities also have crowns cut from the same cloth.
While pedaling back to the sunset service this evening a pedaler behind me called out "Look out!" It was because a car driver was coming along so close that he thought that i might get hit. Then he was on his mobile phone to the police or someone reporting the incident. In the beginning it was all clear. Drifting down by the beach along the sunny cove through the harbor on to the railroad bridge over the river to the boardwalk and the national historically registered roller coaster. Along the trail next to the river and then past the pedalar's shop and then back to the asrama for the sunset service.
