Hello friends 😊
How are you all? I hope everyone is doing well. I’m doing great too.
For the past few days, I haven’t been able to post much as there’s been a lot of household work. With Diwali approaching, my days are filled with cleaning, decorating, and preparing for the festivities.
There’s a unique joy in brightening every corner of the house—from the walls to the courtyard—even if it means getting a bit tired by the end of the day.In the middle of all these preparations, I created a beautiful cloth seat for my home temple—the one where we place our idols. It’s made of cotton fabric adorned with a ready-made border. The white lines on the cloth represent the majestic Himalayas, symbolizing purity and stability.
In the times of our elders, houses were made of mud, and the walls were decorated with red clay called geru. Designs were created by grinding soaked rice into a paste. There was so much beauty in that simplicity! With modern times, those traditions faded away, but now the same art is being brought back to life in new forms.
People today are embracing that same spirit of traditional artistry in fabrics, worship thalis, kalash decorations, and temple adornments. It truly warms the heart to see our age-old culture being revived and people cherishing the essence of Indian heritage in their homes.
