Midnight tryst

Book : Kali flame of samsara

Pairing: Ram Doobay x Devi Sharma

Warning: none

Rating : Teen

Authors note : In my hc, Ram and devi start meeting in secret two years before the whole Lord's wife shebang.

Also, writing after a whole 6 months so forgive the rustiness but I couldn't resist writing for these lovelies. I just recently downloaded rc and this was the second book I started. Hope you like this!

**********

I let out a slow breath, loathed to make a single sound at the expense of my rendezvous. Looking out through the corridor door, I gathered my sari running across to slip out of the estate. I began making my way towards Kalighat.

Since the durga puja ceremonies were to start the next day, everyone was camped out at a nearby estate belonging to the Basu's. Ever since the attack in the himalayas, a similar gathering of all members of the dozen evoked fear of history repeating itself. This meant increased security, which meant it was a mammoth task to slip out every night. But the reward was far greater than the risk.

Slowing down as I neared the garden, I looked around, my eyes searching for a familiar silhouette in the moonlight. my eyebrows drew together as I concentrated, I daren't reveal myself just yet, when a sudden weight came to rest on my shoulder.

I screamed involuntarily and my heart clenched in fear of having woken someone but the sound was muffled by a palm firmly pressed against my mouth. I turned around in horror only to stare at a smirking Doobay. I whisper screamed at him.

"Ram! you..you rakshasa! what was that! somebody could have heard me! don't you..woah!" my words died mid sentence as he pulled me against him, his hands wrapping around me tightly as I forgot his misgivings momentarily.

" Don't berate me. I simply forgot." he pulled away so I could see him point to his grey coloured eye. Of course, he didn't know what is felt like to be caught by surprise. I rolled my eyes, gently pushing him away and walking towards the enormous tree in the center.

Turning around I plopped myself onto the slightly damp grass as he followed. He wore a simple white kurta and matching dhoti, lined by a stripe of gold embroidery. His hair fell in thick dark locks and he was devoid of any jewellery expect the doobay family ring.

I smiled and patted the space next to me as he settled in, pulling my hand into this slender long fingers and squeezing it slightly. I sighed, scooching closer to rest my head against his shoulder as the scent of him enveloped me.

He ran a hand over my head, gently stroking my hair as he pulled the locks back away from my face, over my shoulders. Leaning down he kissed me slowly, taking his time as his tongue entered my mouth. We eventually broke apart, relenting to the need for air.

Lowering us onto the grass, I propped myself onto my elbow as he lay flat on his back. He closed his eyes, running a hand down my back, coming to rest against the bare skin of my lower back. His touch felt warm, soothing and intense.

Feeling his gaze on me, I looked back at him as he voiced.

"So, how did things go? "

"The journey was a success albeit way too long for my liking but we were able to clear up everything at the mines there and start business anew. It does look promising. " I said as I came to rest on his chest, his hand wrapping involuntarily around my shoulder.

"I never had any doubt. " He replied kissing my head.

"But I did miss you. " I confessed.

"I know. "

We lay there in companionable silence, the wind rustling the branches and the flowers settling on the ground as they broke away from their supports. Moving his hand gently from underneath me, he got up pushing himself into a seated position and busying himself with something I couldn't see.

I closed my eyes, feeling content when I felt his fingers wrap around my ankle, bringing my sole to his lips he gently kissed it, once twice moving on to the inside of my leg, first my ankle then upwards finally reaching the inside of my knee. I let out a subdued moan, small whimpers escaping unknowingly at his touches.

To my disappointment, he stopped and I sat up on my elbows to find out why.

"What happened? "

"You're a little too loud for your own good. " He chided me. I flushed crimson at his comment, shrugging of my embarassment I reached out to him, pulling him on top.

"It's time for you to go back. " He whispered against my skin

“Not yet. " I retaliated, almost pleading him not to send me away. He chuckled lightly pulling us both into a sitting position, his hands grabbed a few flowers and then, he wrapped a handmade anklet gently around my left ankle.

I stared at him and he did not shy away,nor did I expect him to. It was not his nature to hide away his feelings or want,it seemed that shameless acceptance was the bedrock of the Doobay charisma. He waited patiently as I finally but sadly stirred, standing up and pulling him into a hug. His lips attached to mine once more, parting to allow each other entrance. The sweet hot kiss ended all too soon.

“ You're sure you want me to leave"

"Not at all."

I departed in thought ,wishing that this could become more. But as it always is, good things must come to an end.. I stared at the flowers gently sitting on my skin. I could only hope that it was because better things would fall into place.

********

Correct me if I'm wrong but I read somewhere that wearing an anklet on your left leg indicates you are in a committed relationship.

[aru-loves-krishnaxarjuna]

KaJu

Pt.2 -> Masterlist

A day before the departure, Arjuna recieved an unusual parcel, or rather, a gift. From the one and only Vasudev Krishna. That boy was older than him by two years, and was from the royal family of the oligarchy kingdom, Dwarka.

Arjuna opened the box, and saw atypical but adorable blue stones, along with a small letter and a peacock feather.

Hope you like the small gift, Parth!

—Vasudev Krishna

'Why did he send only me a cute yet unusual gift like this? Because none of my Bhrata have got one. And Parth? Is he referring to me? Either way, i really love the name!' Arjuna thought as he kept away the stones in a part of his dhoti, and rummaged through the seven-tiered Chakravyuha formation.

"Arju?" Came Bheem's voice. Arjuna perked up as he jumped on the twenty-one year old lad, who caught him and twirled him in the air ruffling his younger brother's hairs.

"Bhrata Bheem!" Exclaimed Arjuna cheerfully. "Let me guess, you want to eat sweets together with all our brothers and discuss plans about the war tomorrow, right?" Bheem pulled Arjuna by the shoulder and grinned wide. "You guessed right! Now come on!" Vrikodar pulled Phalgun along, who just laughed.

"Yesterday was impressive! You fought sooo well!" Nakul said excitedly.

"I think we should get to serious topics now, Nakul. We have to go to war tomorrow." Said Yudhishthir, being his usual serious self. "As me and the others were discussing, you would have to lead us in the war, Phalgun."

"I agree. Because Panchal Raj is most likely to use that formation. We will clear the way for you." Sahadev added, with a gentle smile.

_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–_–

It was a pretty windy day. It was still dark outside as he made his way to the stables to see his white pet horse. Arjuna had received him as a present just a few months ago; since he was a young warrior now, he could have a horse of his own. He had named him Vikramaditya — a rather fancy name for a horse. Vikram for short. Arjuna was really fond of him, and stroked and cuddled the animal as he drank water from his tub. As he headed towards the main halls, he heard raised voices coming clearly from a distance. Outside, in the main yard, Duryodhan was up bright and early before sunrise, having a full-blown argument with Drona, as many people looked on.

"But that is unfair, Acharya!"

"I am having none of it! He can not come!"

"But it will be much easier if he goes with us!"

"Then it means that you are not confident in your own skills!"

It was then that Arjuna noticed Karna standing beside Duryodhan, head lowered, jaw tightened in anger and shame. Drona hadn't initially recognised him at the ceremony, since they'd met after several years, but had known who he was the minute he'd introduced himself. Moments later, the argument was interrupted by Shakuni, who bowed before Drona. He already seemed to have something up his sleeve, like he always did.

"Respected Guru", he drawled, "Allow me to explain, if you please." He shoved Duryodhan aside and stepped in front of Drona. "I understand you do not wish to take along a man who isn't your pupil, but I assure you! You can most certainly take him along without letting him participate! You and your son are going as well, but neither of you are fighting. Similarly, you may take Angaraj with you. Let him stay back, but remember, Drupad is tough to defeat. Just in case your pupils find themselves in peril, you may send the King of Anga to their aid in an emergency. Not only would this benefit you, but also ensure that you have a second plan if your first one goes awry."

Drona hesitated. Shakuni had a point. After thinking for a few moments more, he relented. "Alright. He can come. But mind you, young man", he pointed a finger at Karna. "You can only join the battle of I order you to do so." Duryodhan and Karna nodded, looking pleased and relieved.

"What's going on?" said a boisterous voice behind Arjuna. He turned to see Bheem with Yudhishthir.

"King Karna of Anga will be joining us too." In response, Bheem scoffed and rolled his eyes. None of Arjuna's brothers took well to Karna, given that he was clearly on Duryodhan's side anyways.

As the princes arrived slowly and stood in front of their teacher, Drona addressed them. "Today is the day of the first battle of your lives. I want you all to do well. But be warned, Drupad is not an easy man to defeat, for he has the same knowledge of and training in warfare that I have imparted to all of you. It is my goal to defeat him with some of the greatest young warriors whom I have taught myself. If any of you are still a bit apprehensive about this, you are free to opt out of the Gurudakshina. Of those who choose to participate, I have faith you will not let me down."

Arjuna felt even more emboldened than before. He bit his lip, struggling to control the excitement from showing on his face. He would do it. They bade goodbye to the elders and set off. Panchal was not very far from Hastinapur, it was a journey of about nine hours on horseback and in chariot-cars. Since they had left in the early morning, they arrived in the middle of the afternoon. Panchal was comparatively smaller than Hastinapur but was blessed with picturesque landscapes worthy of portraits - sparkling lakes, long stretches of deep green meadows and rolling hills.

Without warning, the party marched into the capital of Kampilya. The citizens gathered on the street sides in astonishment and confusion, many shouted and ran out of their homes to watch what was happening. Drona and his pupils headed straight to the palace, and as they approached the gates, he addressed the royal guards in a booming voice:

"Hear, hear, guards of this gate! I hereby command you to call upon your Maharaj at this very moment! Tell him that his old friend, Drona, has finally come to fulfil his part of the bet!"

The guards had no time to protest: seeing a host of over a hundred young warriors all wielding various weapons sent them into a frenzy. They rushed inside at once, yelling out and within minutes, Drupad had come outside, a large army of soldiers in his wake.

Drona ordered the Pandavas, Karna and Ashwatthama to stand back, and sent the Kauravas inside first. All hundred and one brothers ran in like a stream of wild bulls, charging straight at Drupad, who stood back as his soldiers ran at the princes. Chaos ensued. Maces slammed into each other, arrows were shot from all ends, fearsome spears were thrown with great force and swords clashed all around. The fight continued for around twenty minutes. Karna waited eagerly, his bow ready, hoping he would be called, but Drona stood just as resolutely in front of him, watching the scene unfold.

The Pandavas and Ashwatthama stood to one side far from the huge gates, Arjuna and Ashwatthama gossiping like the old friends they were, with Nakul adding his two cents here and there between their conversation.

"Now is not the time to be talking or gossiping, Phalgun." Came Jyesht's voice, in response of which he gave a whine. "Why are you always ruining the fun!?"

The others nodded their heads and crossed their arms as Yudhishthir sweatdropped.

Drona turned to the Pandavas. "It is your turn now, Panduputro. Go." The five hadn't noticed when their literal hunded cousins came back; Duryodhan and Dushasan were the last ones to return, panting and out of breath. They were both a mess; Dushasan had a gash on his thigh and several bruises over his face; Duryodhan’s hair had become terribly untidy and dusty from having fallen several times, and he looked like he’d had the wind knocked out of him.

Bheem would have laughed at them if it wasn't for the serious matter ahead of him and his brothers. They all nodded and the five proceeded towards the gate as Drupad yelled something imperceptible at Drona again. As per the plan, Yudhishthir stayed at the gate, blocking it with his chariot; the twins stood far out on either side of him, preparing to jump on anyone who tried to attack their eldest brother or their teacher. Meanwhile, Bheem ran straight inside towards the army, clearing the path for Arjuna, who entered in his wake on Vikram. Bheem alone was enough to take a little over half of the army; he charged with full force, his mighty mace thrashing anyone who tried to stop him. Meanwhile, Arjuna started his work of breaking the Chakravyuha, while his brothers worked together to defeat all soldiers.

Arjuna repeatedly shot arrows that multiplied into hundreds at once, thus easily fending off the other half of the army. The seventeen year old rode with his head low; whenever his horse began to show signs of panic, he would rub his neck comfortingly, leading him in various directions away from any oncoming soldiers before turning round and shooting at them with impeccable aim.

Arjuna was almost near the center but that was when he saw the Panchal Raj outside the Chakravyuha. He was about to break the last layer and go but was stopped by a shout. "Return to your teacher, you insolent boy! Your Guru is as pathetic as he always was, using his students to fight this battle with me! What else can one expect from a coward? Return, I tell you! Or else you shall meet the same fate as the hundred who came before you!"

Arjuna felt his temper rising at hearing his teacher being insulted this way. He was now more determined than ever to successfully complete this task. He shot arrows at Drupad, who shot back immediately. They collided and fell lifeless to the cracked, sun-scorched earth.

As the fight continued however, many of Drupad's army personnel were left in awe as they looked on; they weren't going to intervene when their King was fighting another warrior; but what had surprised them was that, despite having a positional advantage of standing up high on an elephant (compared to the Rajkumar on the ground), their King was slowly but surely losing the fight.

No one could tell the small gap of a few seconds between Arjuna taking out arrows from his quiver and him finally releasing them. His movements were nimble, agile, skilful. At one point, Arjuna shot an arrow that grazed Drupad's shoulder. The force of it caused Drupad to lose his balance and fall off the elephant.

The former jumped off his horse and ran towards him. Now was his chance to trap Drupad. However, there was a flash of light and the next moment, there were five identical men standing in front of him. Arjuna's mouth fell slightly open. Drupad had used a spell of which he had no knowledge of, one that could create illusions of himself. The five Drupads all looked at him, each with a smug expression on his face, inviting him to capture one of them. There was no way he could tell the real Drupad apart.

And suddenly as one of the Drupad's slashed st him, he dodged at the last minute but the stone he had kept had fallen down.

Five pairs of eyes. The eyes. The eyes on the bluish pebbles…

And then it struck him. It was so sudden that for a moment he thought it was madness to believe it. But could it be? There was a tiny chance it was true. He stole a glance at the eyes of each Drupad. The man on the far left end was looking straight at the man to his own left. The three men from the right were also looking at the man to their right. All as if trying to imitate him. The man in question was staring right at Arjuna.

Then he knew. In a flash, he shot an arrow at the man standing second from the left. It transformed into ropes, which bound themselves around Drupad. The king let out a yell of surprise and stumbled backwards, as the remaining four illusions disappeared. Arjuna too let out an exclamation of triumph, "So there you are!" He couldn’t help but laugh. "You should have instructed your impostors not to make it so obvious that they were trying to copy you."

When Drupad was brought before Drona, he was fuming, humiliated at being defeated by a young boy. Drona was beaming yet again, both at Drupad's defeat and at his favourite student. The teacher and the king began a heated discussion, in which Drona agreed to let Drupad go if the latter gave him half his kingdom (as he had apparently promised to do several years ago before going back on his word). The raging king had to give in in order to be set free.

The Kauravas were sullen and grumpy at their inability to perform well, and at being outshined by their five cousins once again. Karna was dejected as he hadn't had a chance to take part, uet couldn't help but admire the younger archer. Bheem was elated as Drona praised him for his might and strength. Arjuna, Yudhishthir, Nakul and Sahadev each received hugs from Drona for their persistence and endeavours.

Though he was certainly happy at having successfully completed the Gurudakshina task, Arjuna's mind was far from praise and glory at the moment.

All he could think about were the five pebbles Krishna had sent him.

┏━━━━•❅•°•❈•°•❅•━━━•❅•°•❈•°•❅•━━━━┓

❍               ❍                ❍

┗━━━━•❅•°•❈•°•❅•━━━•❅•°•❈•°•❅•━━━━┛

Yudhishthir was crowned Yuvraj and Duryodhan wasn't able to swallow it down his evil throat. And that was again when Shakuni jumped in. They had planned about how they were going to burn the Pandavas alive and even convinced Raaj Maata Kunti, and Karna, still harboring Dharma in his mind, didn't take well to it. He excused himself. "Mitra, I am going to take some fresh air outside. I- I will meet up with you later on." And walked away without even waiting for Duryodhan's response.

As he walked down the corridors, Karna saw lotuses floating on the water of the fountains and remembered the Raaj Maata's face. He smiled as he took one and peoceeded towards the Queen Mother's room as it was the last time he would see her again.

Arjuna was the first one to arrive at his Kunti Maa's room, jumping all his way excitedly like the adorable child he was, because she had called them to talk and discuss about going to Varnavrat. As he reached outside door of her kaksh, he didn't notice Angaraj Karna behind him because he was coming from the other way and was almost there when they both heard voices and their conversation and it shocked them to the core.

It’s true love indeed

Day 6 of @smileformeweek : Again

[ ID: Traditional fanart colored digitally. It is of the game Smile For Me and involves the wedding ceremony of Trencil Varnnia and Jimothan Botch. It is of my AU Roseverse.

Jimothan and Trencil are getting married. In my interpretation they are both Indian, Jim is from the South and Trencils from the North. They are doing the Varmala ceremony. The garlands are made of colors of red, green and white flowers.

Jimothan is wearing his traditional dress, that is, a yellowish-white shirt and dhoti with gold trim, along with a shawl with gold trim draped on his left side. He also has a golden chain. On in his head is the tripundram mark. Footwear is dark sandals with toe rings. Jimothan has many healed scars, burns and bite marks from raising a difficult baby such as his son, Parsley. His dusty brown hair is streaked with lighter colors as a sign of aging.

Trencil is wearing his traditional dress, that is, a red turban decorated with beads and pearls, and a peacock feather to top it off, he wears a dark blue sherwani with pink floral patterns on it plus a dark green shawl covering most of his right side with yellow, pink, blue floral and teal-leaved patterns. He wears red dhoti pants with rose-pink jutti shoes that have purple floral patterns. On his face, he wears gold eyeshadow with glitter near his eyes. He has some of women's elements in his jewellery, like the gold and white maang tikka, with a gemmed flower shape as centerpiece. He also wears a nath and earrings with gold, white, red, pink- with floral motifs. On his hands is floral dark-red henna. In appearance, Trencil looks more old and wrinkled, with red eyes and claws as nails. His ears are also very long and droopy like a bat's. His hair is naturally black as can be seen at the ends but rest of it is dyed dark blonde.

Jimothan and Trencil looks at each other lovingly with smiles. Jim reaches a hand out to put the garland on Trencil while Trencil holds his arm. With their other hand they both hold up a brightly colored umbrella decorated with gold strips at its point, and mirror pieces through the body. Flowers and grass, with small white balls hedge the bottom, from them hangs arrangements of roses and white flowers strung together. The interior of the umbrella is a light pink, covering Jim and Trencil.

From either side, two hands throw pastel flower petals on the newlyweds. The text below reads , first in Tamil, red, " Botch " then black " weds" in English, then dark green "Varnnia" in Hindi. So it is " Botch weds Varnnia". The background is a gradient of, from top to bottom, light yellow, green, blue, pink. The whole picture has a warmer, orange tone to it.end ID]

//

They're getting married...again!!!!

Trencils wife is probably dead? And Jimothan is divorced from his. So yeah this is both of their second marriage.

Here's the rough sketch I did beforehand of both their full outfits if anyone wants to see, some things changed in the final product

[ ID: Pencil sketch showing Jimothan and Trencil standing, forward facing in the clothes I've described above, with few changes. End ID]

Man... do you think Trencil, hid Jimothans name in his henna🤭

Oh! In case you didn't read the image description-- they're both Indian in my headcanon. GOOOO!!!

Honestly if you're confused about some details reading the image description will help.

I think this is legitimately one of my BEST drawings of 2024, holy shit, also THEME SONG

[dspd]

You know what we don't see a lot of in TMA'verse? The exploration of Jon's brownness. It's widely accepted that Jon is some flavor of brown in fanon but we never see him with a bindi or read that he always smells faintly of sandalwood from morning prayer to his parents and grandmother. I'd love to see fanart of a young Jon next to his tiny dadi (paternal grandmother), both wearing traditional white clothes as they pray during Narayan Bali Yagya (Hindu funeral rites for unusual deaths) for his father. Or a background picture on his desk of him and dadi, in a beautiful saffron orange and deep red sari, posing and serious at his high school graduation ceremony, his olive green dhoti peeking from behind his unzipped gown and NEHS stole, cap held carefully in his hands.

What if Martin finds out that he's more successful in getting his workaholic boss to take a meal break if he brings in Kerala food, particularly Idiyappam with Curry.

What is, once Jon has been sufficiently traumatized so like s3, he searches for comfort in childhood memories and Jon pulls out some stuff he remembers his mom and dad wearing around home when he was small, including a rather small mango mala necklace his mother wore and a couple gold bangles that match his father's heirloom ring passed down for 4 generations.

Like, he doesn't have to be Hindu (approx. 1.6% of UK identifies as Indian) but the point is we should fully embrace him being brown.

Star Sunstone aesthetic moodboard!!

A new Elite appears:

Star Sunstone:

Star Sunstone, in his true form as a golden floating orb of bright light, exudes an ethereal and divine presence. A vibrant yellow star symbol shines on the surface of his orb form, subtly hinting at the immense power within. Star Sunstone is secretly a god, capable of transforming into three distinct human-like appearances, each drawing from different types of sunstone, with unique traits and attire. His gemstone, an eight-cut stone, only becomes visible on his forehead when he adopts these forms, while his godly nature is expressed through the six disembodied, floating eyes that surround his head in every form. Each transformation serves a specific purpose and style, reflecting his celestial essence.

1. Tanzanian Sunstone Form:

In this form, Star Sunstone adopts the appearance of a tall and majestic figure, with skin that shimmers in a translucent but radiant orange, speckled with bright, glittering sparkles that resemble flecks of sunlight. His hair flows like molten lava, cascading down to his shoulders in waves of orange and gold, constantly shifting with a soft, glowing luminescence.

Attire: In Tanzanian Sunstone form, he wears regal, ceremonial robes with a slightly translucent quality, crafted from what appears to be woven light. The robes are adorned with intricate golden patterns that seem to move, depicting scenes of celestial harmony and balance. A sash of deep orange wraps around his waist, held together by a glowing star emblem. His attire is reminiscent of ancient solar deities, designed to evoke awe and inspire devotion.

Personality: As Tanzanian Sunstone, Star Sunstone is calm, authoritative, and wise. He radiates warmth and reassurance, giving off the impression of a protector and a guide. He embodies the qualities of the rising sun, offering hope and clarity. This form is often used when interacting with those seeking enlightenment or comfort, as it reflects his role as a benevolent and illuminating presence.

2. Indian Sunstone Form:

In this form, Star Sunstone’s skin takes on a pale golden hue with delicate orange sparkles lightly scattered across his body. His appearance is softer and more approachable, with his long hair shimmering like beams of sunlight caught at dawn. The light from his body is more subdued, with a gentle glow that is both calming and ethereal.

Attire: His attire in this form is reminiscent of traditional garments worn by ancient Indian sages, combining simplicity with a touch of celestial elegance. He wears a flowing dhoti and shawl in soft golden hues, decorated with fine patterns that subtly glow. The shawl drapes over his left shoulder, leaving his right arm exposed, symbolizing his connection to ancient wisdom and divine truth. The hems of his garments are adorned with sun motifs, which softly pulse with energy.

Personality: In Indian Sunstone form, Star Sunstone becomes reflective and contemplative, taking on the role of a spiritual teacher. His voice is soft yet carries great authority, often speaking in riddles or metaphors. He tends to observe more than he speaks, offering guidance in cryptic ways that encourage personal discovery. This form is often used when interacting with those on a journey of self-awareness or enlightenment, symbolizing the steady light of inner knowledge.

3. Norwegian Sunstone Form:

In this form, Star Sunstone’s skin is a rich reddish base with vibrant orange sparkles embedded throughout, evoking the image of a sunset just before nightfall. His appearance in this form is bolder and more imposing, with his reddish-orange hair resembling flowing embers that flicker and burn like the last light of the day. The intensity of his light is stronger in this form, with a more fiery and powerful presence.

Attire: He wears battle-like armor in this form, forged from celestial metal that gleams with the fiery hues of the setting sun. The armor is heavy but sleek, designed with angular, almost intimidating patterns that pulse with internal energy. The chest piece is adorned with a large, radiant star symbol, and the shoulder pads flare outward, giving him an even more imposing silhouette. The cape he wears is a deep, burnt orange, flowing behind him like the tail of a comet.

Personality: As Norwegian Sunstone, Star Sunstone becomes fierce and resolute. His demeanor is commanding and authoritative, often speaking with a booming voice that demands respect. This form embodies the destructive power of the sun, yet also its resilience and strength. He uses this form when confronting difficult challenges or facing those who need to be reminded of their own inner strength. His energy is fierce but controlled, representing the dual nature of fire—both destructive and life-giving.

In all three forms, Star Sunstone’s divine nature is evident through the six floating eyes that orbit his head. These disembodied eyes, glowing with radiant light, see into the soul of those he interacts with, able to perceive the deepest truths. Although he has no eyes on his face, the surrounding eyes act as an ever-watchful presence, symbolizing his godly omniscience. At a towering 9 feet in height, Star Sunstone’s human-like forms all carry a sense of cosmic importance, with each form tailored to interact with the world in a unique and impactful way, depending on the needs of those around him.

Fact: He is "related" to Oregon Sunstone.

His creations are:

Honey Calcite.

Honey Opal.

Honey Quartz.

Tinzenite.

Golden Sapphire. (Anthropomorphic Kitsune, like all the rest Sapphires but not a member of the "Nine Tales Council")

Yellow Turquoise.

Polka Dot Jasper.

Bumblebee Jasper.

What to Wear to a Haldi Ceremony as a Guest

The Haldi ceremony is one of the most vibrant and joyous pre-wedding events in Indian culture. This beautiful occasion is characterized by the application of turmeric (haldi) to the bride and groom, symbolizing purification and blessing. If you’ve been invited to a Haldi ceremony, you might be wondering, What to Wear to a Haldi Ceremony as a Guest. This guide will help you navigate your outfit choices, ensuring you look fabulous while respecting tradition.

The Essence of Haldi Attire

The Haldi ceremony is a casual yet meaningful event. The dress code often leans towards cheerful, bright colors like yellow, orange, green, and pink. However, it’s crucial to avoid shades like red or white that are typically reserved for other wedding events. For a unique and standout look, you can explore Indian Designer Clothes in Bangalore, where you’ll find options that blend tradition with modern elegance.

1. Traditional Indian Outfits

The safest and most elegant choice for a Haldi ceremony is traditional Indian attire. These outfits exude cultural charm while allowing you to participate in the festivities comfortably. Here are some popular options:

SareesA lightweight, pastel-colored saree can never go wrong. Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton, chiffon, or georgette. Sarees adorned with minimal embroidery or block prints strike the perfect balance between festive and comfortable. Stores specializing in Indian Designer Clothes in Bangalore often offer sarees that align with this aesthetic.

LehengasFor those looking to make a statement, a simple lehenga with a vibrant dupatta can be an excellent choice. Go for light embellishments and flowy fabrics to keep it easy to move around.

Salwar SuitsAnarkalis, straight-cut suits, or even palazzo sets in lively colors are versatile options. Pair them with chunky jhumkas and bangles for a complete look.

2. Fusion Wear

If you want to blend traditional with modern, fusion wear is a great option. Think crop tops paired with skirts, dhoti pants, or even an ethnic jumpsuit. Fusion wear is a trendy choice, and many boutiques offering Indian Designer Clothes in Bangalore curate collections catering to this style.

3. Pastel and Floral Prints

Pastel shades and floral prints are perfect for a Haldi ceremony, as they resonate with the joyful vibe of the event. A floral kurta set or a pastel Indo-western gown adds a refreshing touch to your attire. These designs are widely available at stores known for Indian Designer Clothes in Bangalore.

4. Accessories to Elevate Your Look

Accessories play a crucial role in enhancing your outfit for a Haldi ceremony. Since Haldi ceremonies are semi-formal events, you can keep your accessories minimal yet elegant:

Jewelry: Opt for lightweight jewelry like chandelier earrings, a statement necklace, or a floral tiara. Floral jewelry is particularly popular for Haldi ceremonies.

Footwear: Juttis, mojris, or Kolhapuri sandals add a traditional touch to your outfit. Ensure they’re comfortable enough to stand and dance in.

Bags: A small potli bag or an embellished clutch is a practical and stylish addition.

5. Men’s Outfit Options

Men attending a Haldi ceremony can also choose vibrant and traditional attire. Here’s a quick guide:

Kurtas: A bright kurta in yellow, orange, or green paired with churidar pants or pyjamas is a classic choice.

Nehru Jackets: Pair a solid kurta with a contrasting Nehru jacket for a smart, festive look.

Casual Fusion: For a modern twist, you can opt for Indo-western sets or dhoti pants with short kurtas.

Boutiques for Indian Designer Clothes in Bangalore often cater to men’s festive wear, making it easy to find the perfect outfit.

6. What Not to Wear

While choosing What to Wear to a Haldi Ceremony as a Guest, it’s equally important to know what to avoid:

Avoid Reds and Whites: Red is often reserved for the bride, while white is traditionally worn at somber events.

Heavy Embellishments: Save your heavily embellished outfits for the wedding day or reception.

Dark Colors: Stick to bright and cheerful shades that align with the ceremony's vibe.

7. Outfit Ideas for Women

Yellow Chikankari Kurti with Palazzo: A lightweight Chikankari kurti paired with palazzos creates a breezy and festive look.

Floral Lehenga Set: Go for a printed floral lehenga paired with a simple crop top or blouse.

Indo-Western Gown: A gown with ethnic prints or embellishments offers a contemporary take on Haldi attire.

Sharara Suit: A sharara suit in pastel shades with mirror work can add a playful touch to your look.

8. Outfit Ideas for Men

Bright Pathani Suit: A Pathani suit in mustard or light green creates a traditional yet stylish appearance.

Printed Kurta with Dhoti Pants: Pair a printed kurta with dhoti pants for a more unconventional look.

Casual Indo-Western Attire: A short kurta with jeans or trousers can work well for a semi-casual vibe.

9. Where to Shop for the Perfect Outfit

Finding the right outfit can be challenging, but cities like Bangalore offer a plethora of options. Many stores offering Indian Designer Clothes in Bangalore specialize in festive wear that’s both stylish and budget-friendly. Look for boutiques that provide custom tailoring to ensure a perfect fit.

10. Styling Tips for a Polished Look

Makeup: Keep it minimal with dewy makeup and a hint of shimmer. Bold lips or statement eyes can elevate your look without going overboard.

Hairstyle: Braids, buns, or loose curls adorned with flowers add a festive touch to your hairstyle.

Layering: Layer your outfit with dupattas or scarves to add texture and depth.

11. Cultural Sensitivity

Remember that the Haldi ceremony is a sacred and traditional event. While experimenting with your outfit, respect the cultural norms and avoid overly revealing or flashy attire. Following these guidelines ensures you look stylish while blending in seamlessly with the event's cultural significance.

Conclusion

Dressing up for a Haldi ceremony is all about embracing vibrant colors, comfort, and tradition. Whether you choose traditional attire like sarees and kurtas or go for a fusion look, make sure your outfit reflects the joy and warmth of the occasion. Shopping from stores offering Indian Designer Clothes in Bangalore ensures you have access to trendy, high-quality options for this special day.

Now that you know What to Wear to a Haldi Ceremony as a Guest, go ahead and dazzle at the event with your stunning outfit and festive spirit!

What to Wear to a Haldi Ceremony as a Guest

The Haldi ceremony is a joyful pre-wedding ritual where family and friends apply turmeric paste to the bride and groom. It’s an occasion full of laughter, music, and vibrant colors, and your outfit should reflect this festive vibe. Here’s a guide to help you decide what to wear to a Haldi ceremony as a guest :

1. Go Yellow, the Color of Haldi

Yellow is the traditional color of Haldi, symbolizing happiness and prosperity. Opt for outfits like yellow sarees, Anarkali suits, or lehenga cholis with subtle embroidery. For men, a yellow kurta with white or beige churidar is a classic choice.

2. Comfort is Key

The Evolution of Indian Sarees: Tradition Meets Modernity

The Indian saree, a timeless garment, holds a special place in the heart of the nation’s cultural heritage. This elegant piece of clothing, which has adorned Indian women for centuries, is much more than just a traditional outfit. It is a symbol of grace, versatility, and identity. Over the years, sarees have evolved in their design, draping styles, and cultural significance, seamlessly blending tradition with modernity. Let us explore this fascinating journey of the Indian saree while also touching upon its contemporary counterparts like the bridal lehenga, which have found a special place in the wardrobes of modern women.

A Journey Through Tradition

The history of sarees can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization, making it one of the oldest surviving garments in the world. Traditionally, sarees were handwoven and made from natural fibers like cotton and silk. Each region of India boasts its unique weaving techniques and designs, reflecting its cultural and artistic heritage. From the vibrant Banarasi silk sarees of Uttar Pradesh to the intricate Kanjeevaram sarees of Tamil Nadu, these garments narrate stories of craftsmanship and tradition.

Sarees were traditionally worn in a variety of draping styles, each unique to a particular region or community. For instance, the Nauvari saree of Maharashtra, draped like a dhoti, and the Bengali style of draping, characterized by pleats and an elegant pallu, showcase the diversity of this attire. These traditional styles continue to inspire modern interpretations, ensuring that the legacy of the saree remains intact.

The Influence of Modernity

In recent years, the saree has undergone a significant transformation to cater to the evolving tastes and lifestyles of modern women. Designers have introduced contemporary fabrics, bold patterns, and innovative draping styles that make sarees more versatile and easier to wear. Pre-stitched sarees, saree gowns, and fusion sarees have gained popularity among women who want the elegance of a saree with the convenience of modern clothing.

Online platforms have played a crucial role in popularizing sarees among younger generations. Many online stores for traditional wears now offer a wide range of sarees, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary designs. This accessibility has made it easier for women worldwide to embrace the saree, regardless of their cultural background.

Bridal Wear: A Blend of Tradition and Glamour

While sarees remain a popular choice for traditional ceremonies, modern brides often opt for lehengas for their wedding day. The best bridal lehenga online collections feature intricate embroidery, luxurious fabrics, and innovative designs that appeal to the modern bride. These lehengas beautifully complement the elegance of sarees while offering a different aesthetic that suits grand celebrations.

A traditional wear store is a treasure trove for brides-to-be, offering everything from exquisite sarees to the best bridal lehenga options. The growing trend of coordinated outfits has also led to the popularity of Best Bride-maids lehenga, ensuring that the entire bridal party looks picture-perfect.

The Role of Lehengas in Modern Weddings

Lehengas have become synonymous with Indian weddings, offering a perfect blend of tradition and glamour. The wedding lehenga for women often features intricate zari work, mirror embellishments, and vibrant hues, making it a showstopper outfit. Designers have also introduced minimalist lehengas for women who prefer understated elegance.

For those looking to make a statement, designer lehenga for women is the ultimate choice. These lehengas often incorporate contemporary elements like pastel shades, cape dupattas, and unique blouse designs, redefining bridal fashion. Online platforms have made it easier to explore and purchase these exquisite pieces, ensuring that every bride can find her dream outfit.

Bridging the Gap Between Sarees and Lehengas

The evolution of Indian sarees and lehengas highlights a beautiful interplay of tradition and modernity. Both these garments continue to hold immense cultural significance while adapting to contemporary trends. For weddings and special occasions, women often choose between the timeless elegance of sarees and the regal charm of lehengas, depending on their personal style and preferences.

With the rise of online stores for traditional wears, it has become easier than ever to explore a diverse range of options. Whether you’re searching for the perfect saree or the best bridal lehenga, these platforms cater to every need, ensuring that tradition meets modernity in the most seamless way.

Conclusion

The Indian saree, much like the bridal lehenga, continues to evolve, reflecting the changing dynamics of fashion and culture. While sarees represent timeless grace, lehengas add a touch of contemporary flair to traditional occasions. Together, they celebrate the essence of Indian heritage, proving that tradition and modernity can coexist beautifully. So, whether you’re browsing a traditional wear store or shopping for the best bridal lehenga online, you’re not just choosing an outfit—you’re embracing a legacy that transcends time.

Men's native wears,

Men's native wears,

Native wear for men is a vibrant and powerful expression of cultural heritage, style, and identity. Across the globe, traditional attire plays a significant role in preserving customs, showcasing craftsmanship, and promoting a sense of community. From the colorful Kilt of Scotland to the intricate Dashiki of West Africa, native wear has transcended its role as merely clothing to become a symbol of pride and history.

1. A Look at Global Native Styles

Each culture has its unique traditional attire, and men’s native wear is often a reflection of the history, values, and environment of the people who wear them. Some of the most iconic native wears for men include:

Dashiki (West Africa)

The Dashiki is a brightly colored, loose-fitting shirt that originated in West Africa. Often made from cotton, it features vibrant patterns and designs, symbolizing unity and heritage. The Dashiki is worn by men of all ages and is particularly prominent during cultural celebrations, festivals, and even in everyday wear.

Kilt (Scotland)

The Kilt is a traditional Scottish garment that has been worn by men for centuries. Made from woolen fabric, often plaid or tartan, the Kilt is a knee-length skirt-like garment typically paired with a shirt, jacket, and sporran (a small pouch). It’s an essential part of Scottish ceremonies, including weddings, dances, and national celebrations like Burns Night.

Kimono (Japan)

The Kimono, though commonly associated with women, is also an important part of traditional Japanese male attire. Men’s Kimonos are typically made from silk and feature more muted colors compared to their female counterparts. Worn during tea ceremonies, festivals, or traditional weddings, the Kimono is a symbol of Japanese culture and artistry.

Agbada (West Africa)

The Agbada is a large, flowing robe worn by men in various West African countries, including Nigeria. Known for its grandeur and elaborate embroidery, the Agbada is worn during important events like weddings, religious festivals, or traditional celebrations. It exudes a sense of royalty and pride, often complemented by a cap or hat.

Sari and Sherwani (India)

In India, men’s native wear includes garments like the Sherwani, a formal long coat worn over a kurta (a tunic) and churidar (tight-fitting pants). It’s commonly worn for weddings or festive occasions. The Sari, traditionally a female garment, has an equivalent for men known as the Dhoti, a cloth wrapped around the waist and tied, which is worn during religious ceremonies and important events.

2. The Significance of Native Wears

Native clothing often transcends the function of basic attire. It is deeply intertwined with a community’s identity, history, and culture. The colors, fabrics, and designs of men’s native wear often carry specific meanings:

Cultural Identity: Wearing native attire is a powerful way to celebrate one’s roots and cultural identity. It reinforces ties to heritage and ancestral traditions, fostering pride and unity within the community.

Ceremonial Importance: Traditional garments are often worn during key life events—such as weddings, religious holidays, and national festivals. These clothes become symbols of significant milestones, binding men to important rituals and cultural practices.

Expression of Social Status: In some cultures, the style and fabric of native wear indicate social rank or profession. For instance, in many African nations, brightly colored and richly embroidered garments signify wealth and respect within society.

Craftsmanship and Artistry: Many traditional garments are handmade, using techniques that have been passed down through generations. The intricate beading, embroidery, and fabric weaving are a testament to the artisanal skills of the craftspeople who create them.

3. Contemporary Trends in Native Wear for Men

As the world becomes more interconnected, traditional native attire is being adapted for modern lifestyles while still retaining its cultural significance. Contemporary men’s native wear incorporates elements of traditional designs with modern fabrics, cuts, and fits. For example:

Fusion Fashion: Many designers are blending traditional native wear with contemporary styles to create fusion pieces. A Dashiki might be paired with slim-fit trousers, or a Kilt could be combined with a modern blazer, merging old and new aesthetics.

Comfort and Versatility: Modern versions of native wear are often designed with greater comfort in mind, using breathable fabrics that are practical for daily wear. Men are now incorporating native wear into their casual wardrobes, making it a versatile option for both special occasions and everyday use.

Global Influence: The rise of cultural appreciation and globalization has allowed native wears to transcend their local boundaries. Men are wearing traditional attire from different cultures around the world, often influenced by global fashion trends. This has sparked a new level of respect and curiosity about various cultures and their fashion.

4. Conclusion

Men’s native wear is not just about dressing in traditional attire—it is about celebrating and preserving cultural heritage, connecting with one’s roots, and showcasing the beauty of craftsmanship. Whether worn for special occasions, in daily life, or as a statement of pride, native wear is an enduring symbol of culture and identity. As the world continues to evolve, the fusion of traditional and modern styles offers a fresh way to keep these important garments alive, relevant, and stylish for future generations.

By embracing their native wear, men are not only honoring their heritage but also helping to ensure that these traditions continue to thrive in a globalized world.

Best Dressing Sense for Males in India: A Complete Guide to Looking Sharp and Stylish

India is a country known for its diversity, rich culture, and traditions, and this variety is also reflected in the way men dress. While fashion trends change with time, the best dressing sense for males in India combines traditional aesthetics with modern flair, allowing men to look stylish, feel confident, and showcase their unique personality. Whether it's for a formal event, a casual outing, or a festive occasion, understanding the right balance of clothing, accessories, and grooming is essential to creating a standout look. This guide will help men in India cultivate a stylish and practical wardrobe, with tips on dressing for various occasions and making a lasting impression.

Understand the Basics of Fit and Comfort No matter what clothes you wear, the most important aspect of dressing well is ensuring that they fit properly. Ill-fitting clothes, whether too tight or too loose, can ruin even the most stylish outfits. The right fit accentuates your body shape, making you look more polished and confident. Shirts and T-shirts: Opt for shirts and t-shirts that fit comfortably around the chest, shoulders, and arms. Avoid overly tight or baggy clothes. Slim-fit shirts are a popular choice as they offer a tailored look, especially when paired with chinos or denim jeans. If you're wearing a t-shirt, ensure it's not too loose and hangs just below the waist for a clean silhouette.

Pants and Jeans: Your pants or jeans should fit comfortably at the waist, and the length should ideally end just at the top of your shoes. Avoid extremely baggy or tight trousers. Slim or straight-cut pants work best for most body types.

Suits and Jackets: For formal events, a well-fitted suit is a must. The jacket should fit snugly around the shoulders, and the sleeves should end just above your wrist, showing a little bit of the shirt cuff. Tailored pants will complement the suit perfectly.

Choose Fabrics According to the Weather India's climate varies from region to region, and choosing the right fabric for the weather is key to staying comfortable while looking sharp. Summer and Hot Climates: In hot and humid regions, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and khadi are ideal. These fabrics allow air circulation and help you stay cool while maintaining a crisp appearance. Light-colored shirts and trousers also keep you comfortable and prevent the heat from absorbing.

Winter and Cooler Climates: For colder weather, fabrics like wool, cashmere, and flannel are great choices. These materials provide warmth and can be styled with jackets, overcoats, and layered outfits. Darker colors such as navy, charcoal, and brown are ideal for winter.

Monsoon: In the rainy season, avoid fabrics that absorb too much moisture, like heavy cotton, and opt for water-resistant materials like polyester or blends. Ensure your clothes are quick-drying to prevent discomfort in the rain.

Traditional Attire: A Nod to Culture While western fashion has gained popularity in India, traditional attire still holds immense value in many situations, particularly during festivals, weddings, and cultural events. Knowing how to wear traditional Indian clothes with style adds to a man's dressing sense. Kurta-Pajama: A staple of Indian attire, the kurta-pajama is both comfortable and stylish. For casual occasions, you can opt for simple cotton kurtas, while for weddings or festivals, choose more elaborate designs with embroidery or silk fabrics. Pairing it with a churidar or a relaxed pajama can enhance the look.

Sherwani and Bandhgala: These are more formal traditional outfits, often worn at weddings and formal events. A well-tailored sherwani or a Bandhgala (Nehru jacket) can make any man look regal and dashing. The key is to go for a color and design that suits your complexion and body type. Pair them with slim trousers or churidars for a more refined look.

Dhoti and Kurta: For cultural ceremonies, a dhoti paired with a kurta is a traditional and elegant look. The dhoti is making a comeback as modern designers are giving it a contemporary twist, making it both fashionable and functional.

Casual and Everyday Style For daily wear, comfort is key, but that doesn't mean you can't be stylish. Casual wear should reflect your personality and allow for ease of movement, but it should also look put-together. Jeans and T-Shirts: A classic combination that never goes out of style. Opt for dark-colored jeans that are slim or straight-cut and pair them with a fitted t-shirt or a casual shirt. You can also layer a jacket or a casual blazer for an elevated look.

Chinos and Polo Shirts: Chinos are a versatile alternative to jeans and can be paired with a simple polo shirt or a button-up shirt for a smart-casual look. Neutral colors like beige, navy, and olive green work well in everyday outfits, and they can be easily paired with most shirts and shoes.

Smart Sneakers and Loafers: Footwear plays a major role in a man's casual look. Leather loafers, sneakers, or slip-on shoes add a sophisticated yet comfortable touch to your everyday attire. Always ensure your shoes are clean and well-maintained.

Formal Dressing for Work and Events Formal dressing is a necessity in the corporate world, and looking sharp can boost your confidence. Understanding what to wear for work and formal events in India can help you make a lasting impression. Suits and Blazers: Whether it's for a business meeting or an office presentation, a well-tailored suit is a must. Opt for light-colored suits like grey, beige, or navy for daytime events, and darker colors like black or charcoal for evening occasions. Pair with a crisp shirt and tie to complete the look.

Shirts and Ties: In a formal office setting, a button-down shirt paired with a tie is a professional look. Stick to solid colors like white, light blue, or pastel hues. Avoid overly bright or patterned shirts for professional settings. A simple, well-knotted tie adds a sophisticated touch.

Dress Shoes: In a formal setting, leather dress shoes in black or brown complement a suit or formal attire. Ensure your shoes are polished and well-maintained, as they speak volumes about your attention to detail.

Accessories: Subtle Yet Significant Accessories complete the outfit, but they should always be understated and elegant. Over-accessorizing can detract from your overall appearance. Watches: A good-quality watch is an investment that speaks to your personality. Whether it's a sleek, minimalistic design or a luxury timepiece, watches are a statement accessory. In India, leather-strapped or metal watches are commonly worn for formal and casual occasions.

Belts: Belts should match your shoes in color and style. A simple leather belt in brown or black works well for both formal and casual outfits.

Sunglasses: Sunglasses not only protect your eyes from the sun but also add an element of style to your look. Choose a pair that suits your face shape, whether it's aviators, wayfarers, or round frames.

Bags: A well-chosen bag can complement your style. Leather messenger bags or sleek backpacks are practical and stylish for daily use. For formal occasions, a good quality leather briefcase is a great addition.

Grooming and Personal Care Dressing well goes hand in hand with good grooming. Keep your hair neat, your skin healthy, and your facial hair (if any) well-maintained. Regular grooming will make even the simplest outfit look more polished and refined. Haircuts: Choose a hairstyle that complements your face shape. Regular trims and maintaining the right length will keep your hair looking sharp and in place.

Facial Hair: If you sport a beard or mustache, keep it well-trimmed and styled. Regular shaving or grooming ensures that your face looks fresh and sharp.

Conclusion The best dressing sense for males in India is a harmonious mix of cultural heritage, personal style, and modern fashion trends. Whether you're dressing for work, a special occasion, or simply for daily comfort, the key is to choose clothing that fits well, complements your body type, and suits the occasion. By paying attention to fabrics, colors, accessories, and grooming, you can cultivate a wardrobe that reflects your unique personality and keeps you looking sharp at all times.
