The Wedding

Oh happy day! We were all prepared, waiting for the great moment, watching happy dances...

... the offerings were ready...
... and so were auspicious signs on feet ...
... and hands.
We all partecipated from the depth of our hearts, showering blessings...
... petals and hoorays on the newly-married couple.
Everything, even the most heart-warming ceremony, has to come to and end...
... and leaves us to chat, laugh and socialize where new bonds are being tied.
I wish you all the best for your new life, my dear sister!

Busy Days in Pune

In those very busy days we enjoyed shopping, driving to the market in those very cosy rikshaws...
... mingling with all those busy ladies...
... neither minding the torrid sun, nor polluted air nor crowded alleys and shops.
Choosing from the brightest colours...
... and all kind of goods.

Where the sacred and the profane are nearly indisdiguishable...

Unforgattable days in Pune, Maharashtra, India.

Wedding Preparations: A Women's Day

The most important day for a woman needs a lot of preparations!
Concentration...
And even more concentration...

... is needed to accomplish the masterpiece.
























But also the laughter...
... and joy!
And of course readymade food! Who wants to cook with mehndi on her hands?
Hungry after a long day...

And the most beautiful hands I ever had!!

India: And a Tale of Beauty

Everything, yes, everything had it's very own magic...
The offerings...
The altar...
The accurately arranged food...

The most wonderful smiles...

And even the vans, yes, even the vans were beautiful.
Who said, that a traveller never comes back as the same person she was?? Back in Frankfurt Airport they asked me whether I spoke German...
