#792 - Brilliant and beautiful colors indeed. But I must ask....what is the substance in the bowls? Is there clay in the packages? What would this be used for? (I'm straying a bit from your thought process but curiosity has me in its grips!)

[RandyRFJP]

#792 - Great capture! I, too, like Sandy, wonder what's in the metal bowls and what are the colorful items in the bins under the bowls. Great work!

790 -- In short, Nandy...this reminds me of a song "No Man is an Island" and "He ain't heavy, He;s my Brother". NOw that will give Sandy something to sing about as she goes about her day...

Thank you very much, Sandy

Thank you very much, Randy

Those colored powders are called "Kumkum" or "sindoor" which ladies wear as a decorative dot on their forehead and also just above forehead, where their hair parting begins, the latter being done only when she is married. The dot is called "thilak".But the same powder is used for the famous celebration of "Holi", mostly a North Indian festival, which is very much illustrated in the thread posted by "Grumpy Diver"(Manfred Mueller), (link below), thanking very much him too

Holi

I forgot to mention, what is seen below the kumkum bowls are incense sticks ("agarbathi") used to generate some holy fragrance on lighting

Ha...thank you very much, Izzie ..."He ain't heavy..." Is that from Brotherhood of man?

+1 to 792, great color capture and use of patterns and shapes.

I'll have to look up "No Man is an Island" but yep, I do remember "He ain't heavy, he's my Brother"! Hummm Hummm Hummm! (wish there were some music notes in the emoticons)

I was quite taken with Manfred's pictures and all the colors used in celebration! It is beautiful! Thank you for your explanation about "Kumkum" I enjoy learning new customs and events. Your excellent photo work gives glimpses into your part of the world. I'll never be fortunate enough to visit there but I enjoy being able to see and read about others' experiences!

S ope 793
Such delicate colours. Great capture!

[IzzieK]

793 -- This is nice. I like the wisdom there too.
794 -- Well..different. It reminds me of that shape presentation of something else. I can't recall now what that was. Too early in the morning to think, I think...
795 -- the window of the soul are the eyes, so it is much easier to read an expression through the eyes. So much to say for the internet.
