HAPPY DIWALI

October 31

Diwali, also known as Deepavali—which means "cluster of fire" in Sanskrit—is a festival of lights celebrated across India. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. The celebration begins with the coronation of Prince Rama, the seventh incarnation of Vishnu. On the night of his enthronement, illuminations were arranged throughout the country.

Another interpretation is that Rama's wise reign represents a deliverance from spiritual darkness. The lights that are lit during this festival symbolize humanity's return from darkness to light, thanks to the legendary prince.

In most parts of India, Diwali is dedicated to Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth and fertility, who is the wife of God Vishnu.

November 2

Govardhan Puja is celebrated on one of the days of Diwali, Once young Krishna stopped them from offering sacrificial prayers to Lord Indra, who in terrible anger sent a flood to Gokul. People were afraid that the downpour was their punishment for disrespecting Indra. But Lord Krishna assured that no harm would touch them. He lifted Mount Govardhan with his little finger and saved people and animals from the rain. After this, Krishna received the epithet Govardhandhari, and Lord Indra recognized Krishna's superiority.

For Diwali, TARA has created Fire Cups.  You can carry these with you as you participate in parades and other festivities.  You can also you them to decorate your home.  There are two types:  Artistic Marble (White) and Cosmos Marble (Purple); each set is sold seperately.  Each set contains two Fire Cups: one for the right hand and one for the left.  Each Fire Cup has an animated flame, animated effect on the cups, gives off a glow of light, and has a built-in holding pose by Pink Moon.

Miss & Mr Elegance 2025 - 1st Challenge - Dia de los Muertos

 

Ms. Ireland can’t believe it’s been three years since her mom passed.  Kitty decided to do something different instead of mourning at her mother’s grave.  She has decided to visit her friend, Veronica, in Mexico to honor her mom during the Dia de los Muertos celebration.  Upon arriving in Mexico, Kitty must change before joining the festivities.  She dons a large headdress of rays and flowers; followed by a colorful Mexican floral-patterned dress. She then puts on her skull earrings, skull ring, and shoes.  She was in awe of the beautifully delicate Sugar Skull make up that Veronica painted.  Kitty then placed a picture of her mom on Veronica’s family altar, picked up her bouquet for the grave site, and headed out the door.  Once outside, she was met with a special surprise of Monarch butterflies.  At that moment, Kitty knew her mother was looking down on her.
