Just check out the shades of blue!! Even the white is blue.....:)
That is a 'copy' of the famous Jaganath (the owner of the world) Murtis, usually made in wood, but here obviously in snow!! There are many legends and stories with the original stories. Not enough time to write about it here, but as a child I always wondered, how they looked. Now that I am older, I understand....the big eyes are mainly for the gaze and mean much to the followers. Here, they are just stunning--in all their colours!!
Ah, Vasudev Kutumbakam--the world is a family, said the title of the picture. Truly my favourite!!

Got this one from social media, and OH SO TRUE!!

The above quote is not from social media, but something I read as a young person and thought a lot about. Then in confusion of life, forgot. And then realized how much of 'The secret' was stolen from Indic knowledge...ha, ha...
So, how about looking at the pictures again and write in comments to share which one is your favorite!!
My faves:
ReplyDeleteMan with cow, then man with monkey
Honorable mention:
The vibrant lingonberries and cucumber/lemon infused H2O ;-)
Great choices!! Yes mine too, those two with the monkey and the cow are my favourites!! Thankyou for acknowledging the berries and the water. Oh and yes, those are wine berries. I found out about so many berries here. Cloud berries are another one of them.....yellow --here is more information on them. http://mylittlenorway.com/2011/07/guide-to-cloudberries/
ReplyDeleteLingon berries are slightly tarter than wine berries, which is slightly bigger than lingon. .
Thanks, for taking the time to comment!
