The bells on Gandharvika's skirt gave this one the name "She'll be there with bells on". Yeah, you can't see them even in this picture but there on the lowest ruffle. The folks liked the different than usual backdrop. "Makes the Deities stand out well" they said.
The garland maker canceled so they were late that's why only Giridhari has one here.
Pedaling today i must have gotten some heat stroke whew! i just about couldn't make it back for the sandhya. i went down to the opal cliffs like almost everyday and then between the lakes and all. To the shopper's corner where i was taken away by the idea to go a way i hadn't went in some years. That way i could stay on the same side of the freeway as the asrama all the way. But the road was closed even to us pedalers. So i went past the mystery spot where a lot of our young folks either now or in the past have worked. Then up the hills and around to the catholic retreat. By the time i got there i was too winded to go up that hill and even the descent was to daunting. So in the end i made in plenty of time but i'm still feeling it.
The touch that kills, the rich chinese silk that is so comfortable for resting and late night dancing.
