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.

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, yet 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…maybe, the last time he would see her again.

Arjuna was the first one to arrive at his Kunti Maa's room, skipping all his way excitedly like the adorable teenager he still 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.

Men's native wears,

Men's native wears,

Men’s native wears are more than just garments; they are a vibrant expression of culture, identity, and heritage. Across various cultures, traditional attire plays a significant role in preserving customs, celebrating occasions, and showcasing the artistry of indigenous craftsmanship. Let’s dive into the world of men’s native wears, exploring their styles, significance, and timeless appeal.

The Significance of Native Wears

Native wears often carry deep cultural and historical meanings. They reflect the values, traditions, and artistic sensibilities of the communities they originate from.

Contemporary Trends in Men’s Native Wears

In recent years, native wears have undergone a modern transformation, blending traditional designs with contemporary fashion. Designers worldwide are incorporating native motifs, fabrics, and styles into mainstream fashion, creating a unique fusion of old and new. This trend not only celebrates cultural diversity but also makes native wears more accessible and appealing to younger generations.

Some notable trends include:

Fusion Styles: Combining native elements with Western outfits, such as pairing a Dashiki with jeans or a Kurta with sneakers.

Eco-Friendly Fabrics: Using sustainable and organic materials to honor traditional weaving techniques while promoting environmental responsibility.

Conclusion

Men’s native wears are a celebration of cultural identity, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. They bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, allowing men to express their heritage with pride. Whether it’s the grandeur of an Agbada, the simplicity of a Kanzu, or the vibrancy of a Dashiki, native wears continue to inspire and captivate across generations and borders. Embracing these garments is not just about fashion—it’s about keeping traditions alive and sharing stories of culture with the world.

Key Features to Look for in a Haldi Dress for Men

When selecting a Haldi outfit, keep the following factors in mind:

Comfortable Fabrics: Since the Haldi ceremony often involves sitting, moving around, and possibly getting turmeric smeared on you, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and lightweight silk are ideal.

Vibrant Colors: Yellow is traditionally the go-to color for Haldi outfits, symbolizing happiness and prosperity. However, experimenting with other vibrant shades like orange, green, or even pastel hues can add a contemporary flair.

Channel a traditional vibe with a short kurta and dhoti pants. This combination is both trendy and comfortable, making it a perfect pick for the Haldi ceremony.

How to Incorporate Kasiyatra Set into Your Wedding Schedule

The Kasiyatra set is a symbolic ritual in South Indian weddings, blending tradition with playful drama. Incorporating this event into your wedding schedule ensures that the cultural essence of the ceremony is upheld while adding a touch of humor and charm. Here’s how you can seamlessly include it:

Incorporate Kasiyatra Set into Your Wedding

1. Choose the Right Time

Kasiyatra typically takes place just before the main wedding rituals, after the groom arrives at the venue. Allocate 15-20 minutes for this ritual, ensuring it fits without delaying subsequent ceremonies. Coordinate with your priest and wedding planner to finalize the timing.

2. Prepare the Props

The ritual requires symbolic items like a traditional umbrella, walking stick, veshti (dhoti), angavastram, and religious books. These props represent the groom’s mock journey to Kashi and add authenticity to the act. Ensure they’re ready in advance.

3. Rehearse the Act

The Kasiyatra involves a playful exchange between the groom and the bride’s father or brother, who persuades him to abandon asceticism for marriage. A brief rehearsal can help participants deliver their roles convincingly and ensure smooth execution.

4. Set the Scene

Choose a location near the wedding mandapam or an open area for the ritual. Decorate the space with traditional elements like banana leaves, kolams (rangoli), and flower garlands to reflect South Indian culture.

5. Involve the Guests

The Kasiyatra is an interactive and entertaining event. Encourage family and friends to gather around and participate through cheers and playful commentary. This makes the ritual lively and memorable.

6. Blend Music and Fun

Traditional nadaswaram and mridangam tunes set the mood for the ritual. Incorporate lighthearted music during the groom’s mock departure to enhance the drama and humor.

7. Capture the Moments

Hire a skilled photographer or videographer to document this unique ritual. Candid shots of the groom’s exaggerated renunciation and the bride’s family’s persuasion are guaranteed to bring smiles for years to come.

8. Maintain Cultural Sensitivity

While the Kasiyatra is humorous, ensure the tone remains respectful to the tradition and sentiments of everyone involved. Avoid over-the-top dramatics that may overshadow the significance of the ritual.

Incorporating the Kasiyatra into your wedding schedule is a wonderful way to honor tradition while entertaining your guests. With thoughtful planning, this ritual will become one of the most cherished moments of your celebration.

Small Story 114.The Unexpected Reunion

Small Story 114. The Unexpected Reunion Shyamala entered the newly opened apartment, her heart filled with excitement, but also with a sense of confusion. The security guard greeted her with the news that her friend Rekha was out of the country. Shyamala was taken aback, as just yesterday Rekha had told her over the phone she was in the country. Both Shyamala and Rekha were childhood friends, and despite Rekha’s frequent travels as a project manager for an event management company, their bond had remained strong. Shyamala, a housewife from Kumbakonam, had traveled all the way from her hometown to Chennai to invite Rekha in person to her son Hari’s Upanayanam ceremony. However, with Rekha's sudden departure, Shyamala felt uncertain about what to do next. She could not call Rekha because she didn’t know which country she had gone to, and the time difference made it all the more complicated. She thought of going to visit a relative, an uncle who was near Royapettah Hospital, but she didn’t have his contact details. The tension in her mind grew—she wasn’t familiar with Chennai and didn’t know where to go. Just then, her phone rang. It was Rekha. She explained that she would be traveling to Dubai for a program and would return next week. Rekha advised Shyamala not to worry, offering her a solution: “I’ll message you the address of a friend of mine who lives near my apartment. You can stay there and go to the station in the night.” Within seconds, Shyamala received the address. She asked the security for directions, and after walking for a while, she reached the destination. When she rang the bell, a European lady named Sophia greeted her warmly. "Hi, I’m Sophia. How can I help you?" she asked. Sophia invited Shyamala inside, and Shyamala was stunned by the elegantly decorated hall. After explaining her situation, Sophia reassured her, “Don’t worry, you can join us for lunch. We’ll have sambar, rasam, and rice, just like you like.” Shyamala was taken aback. “You know my food preferences?” she asked, surprised. Sophia nodded, and they sat down at the dining table. Sophia explained, “Rekha is a good friend of mine. We moved here two years ago. My husband works for Philips. What time do you usually have lunch?” “It’s about 10 now, but I can wait until 11:30,” Shyamala replied. At 11:30, Sophia’s husband, wearing a dhoti, came in. He was introduced to Shyamala as Arthanari. When Shyamala heard his name, her heart skipped a beat. "Are you from Kumbakonam?" she asked, her voice filled with wonder. Arthanari confirmed, “Yes, I am.” “I’m Raman’s daughter,” Shyamala said. “I have not met you before, but my dad always spoke of his younger brother who moved to Holland. I’ve been trying to get in touch with him for years.” Arthanari’s face softened as he heard the familiar name. “Oh, my God, I’ve been longing to see my brother. Despite many emails and calls, he never responded.” Shyamala explained, “My father is no more. I’m the only daughter, and I’ve come to invite Rekha to my son’s Upanayanam.” The revelation hit Arthanari hard. Despite the long estrangement between him and Shyamala’s father, the bond of family could not be erased. Arthanari, who had no children of his own, was moved by the occasion. He agreed to grace the Upanayanam ceremony as the only elder left in the family. The ceremony went beautifully, and Rekha,, made it a grand event. The reunion of Shyamala with her long-lost uncle Arthanari added an unforgettable layer to the occasion. In the end, it was more than just a celebration of Hari’s Upanayanam; it was a heartwarming story of unexpected family reunions. K.Ragavan 3-1-25

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

Since Haldi ceremonies often involve playful smearing of turmeric, it’s essential to choose comfortable and breathable fabrics like cotton, chiffon, or georgette. At Indralokk, we offer lightweight Indian designer clothes in Bangalore that allow you to enjoy the festivities without compromising style.

3. Experiment with Fusion Wear

If you’re wondering what to wear to a Haldi ceremony as a guest, consider fusion wear for a contemporary twist. Pair a crop top with a flowy skirt or style a dhoti with a chic jacket. These outfits not only stand out but also keep you at ease during the celebrations.

4. Accessorize Wisely

Add a touch of glam with statement earrings, floral jewelry, or a delicate maang tikka. Avoid heavy necklaces or cumbersome accessories that can get stained with turmeric. For men, a simple pocket square or a floral brooch can elevate the look.
