#famous food of each state in india

[princesssarisa]

The next section of Cinderella Tales from Around the World is devoted to a lesser-known Cinderella subtype: One-Eye, Two-Eyes, Three-Eyes.

*The most famous tale of this type is the German version from the Brothers Grimm. To summarize:

**A woman has three daughters, each with a different number of eyes: One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes. The middle sister, Two-Eyes, is hated and abused by her mother and sisters because she's beautiful and normal-looking. (There's no mention of how many eyes the mother has.) Every day she's sent out to pasture the goat, starving because her family only feeds her scraps. But one day she meets a "wise woman" (i.e. a fairy) who instructs her to recite a rhyme, and then her goat will bring her a table covered with food. She does this every day, until her mother notices that she's not eating her scraps anymore. One-Eye goes out to spy on her, but Two-Eyes sings her to sleep. Then Three-Eyes goes out, and again Two-Eyes sings, but in her lullaby she mistakenly sings "Two-Eyes" instead of "Three-Eyes," so only two of her sisters' eyes fall asleep while the third stays awake and sees how she feeds herself. She reports it to the mother, who kills the goat. But the wise woman instructs Two-Eyes to bury the goat's entrails, and when she does, a tree with silver leaves and golden apples grows from the spot. Whenever the mother or sisters try to pick the apples, the branches move out of their reach, but Two-Eyes is allowed to pick them. One day, a handsome young knight rides by, and the mother and sisters hide Two-Eyes under a barrel. But the knight admires the tree and asks for a branch from it, yet neither One-Eye nor Three-Eyes can break one off. Then Two-Eyes rolls some golden apples out from under the barrel, revealing her presence, and gives the knight his branch. The knight wants to reward her, so she asks him to take her away from her cruel family. He takes her to his castle, where the tree magically follows them, and soon afterward they marry. Some time later, One-Eye and Three-Eyes appear at the castle door, now reduced to beggars. Two-Eyes forgives them and takes them in, and her kindness makes them repent their former treatment of her.

*The other tales of this type that Heiner's book features come from France, Scotland, Denmark, Russia, the Czech Republic, India, and the United States.

**There are three French versions: Little Annette, The Golden Pear-Tree, and The Golden Bells.

*** All three include the heroine's ineffectual father, in contrast to the all-female household in the Grimms' version, and in the first and third tales, the wicked women are the heroine's stepmother and stepsisters instead of her birth family.

***In The Golden Bells, the heroine, Florine, is a princess, and her father and wicked stepmother are the king and queen. In Little Annette, the girl's eventual husband is a prince, while in the other two, he's a king.

***None of these versions include the "one-eye, two-eyes, three-eyes" motif either: in Little Annette, the stepmother magically adds an eye to the back of her youngest daughter's head, which stays open while her own eyes sleep, while in the other two the (step)sister just pretends to sleep.

***In all three, the heroine receives her food by tapping a sheep with a magic wand. In Little Annette, the wand is given to her by the Virgin Mary, in The Golden Pear-Tree by a man, and in The Golden Bells by her dying mother at the beginning. Also, rather than personally killing the sheep, the (step)mother pretends to be sick and insists that only eating the sheep's meat will cure her, so the father kills it.

***In Little Annette, the magic tree that grows from the sheep's remains just bears "the most tempting fruit," while in the other two tales, as their titles imply, it respectively bears golden pears and constantly-ringing golden bells.

***The Golden Pear-Tree and The Golden Bells both continue after the heroine's marriage with a plot against her while her husband is away at war. In The Golden Pear-Tree, the heroine gives birth to twins, and her wicked mother-in-law replaces them with two puppies, which causes the king to order his wife executed. Unfortunately, this story only survives as a fragment with no ending, but presumably the heroine escapes somehow and reunites with her husband and children after the truth is revealed. In The Golden Bells, the stepmother throws Florine into a river. But when she does so, the bells on the tree stop ringing, and the king hears this, realizes something is wrong, hurries home, and rescues Florine.

**In the odd Scottish tale of The Sheep's Daughter, the heroine is the king's secret illegitimate daughter, whose mother is a sheep. (Apparently an anthropomorphic one who lives in a house, although the queen is able to order her slaughtered like any other sheep.) The wicked women are the king's wife and legitimate daughters. The king secretly pays regular visits to the sheep and her child, bringing them gifts, until the queen has her two daughters spy on him. The sheep magically sings the first princess to sleep, but accidentally leaves one of the second princess's eyes awake, so the queen learn's what's happening, and has the sheep killed. The heroine buries her mother's bones, then lives alone in their cottage for five years, at which point a prince gives a three-day feast. The heroine's mother rises from her grave, transformed from a sheep into a beautiful princess: she dresses her daughter in finery, and from there on the story becomes Cinderella, with the heroine attending the festival and losing a slipper on the third night, which the prince uses to find her.

**In the Danish Mette Wooden-Hood, the wicked women are again the heroine's stepmother and stepsisters: the stepmother starts out as Mette's seemingly-kind schoolteacher, who of course manipulates her into convincing her father to marry her. Mette's helper is her mother's spirit, who comforts her at her gravesite and summons doves to feed her. But eventually the younger stepsister, who has an extra eye in her neck, learns this, and Mette is locked up so she can't visit the grave anymore. Mette finally manages to run away, however, and her mother's spirit gives her a wooden dress to wear and a box that will grant her wishes when she taps it. From this point on, the story becomes like Donkeyskin or All-Kinds-of-Fur, as Mette becomes a scullery maid at a palace, attends church in magic finery three times, and on the third Sunday loses a shoe.

**In one of the two Russian versions, Little Havroshecka, the heroine is an orphan while the wicked mother and daughters are her foster family, and in other, Burenushka, they're her stepmother and stepsisters: they're also a queen and princesses in the latter. In both of these versions, "One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes" are the heroine's three wicked stepsisters, in contrast to the Grimms' version where Two-Eyes is the heroine. The animal helper is a cow, who magically spins flax for the heroine in Little Havroshecka, magically feeds her in Burenushka. In the former story, after the cow is killed, a silver tree grows from her remains with golden leaves and crystal apples, which only Havroshecka can pick, while in the latter tale, a berry bush grows on which birds sing, and the birds chase away anyone who tries to pick the berries except for the heroine. Little Havroshecka ends with Havroshecka's marriage, while Burenushka continues with the heroine giving birth to a son, her stepmother turning her into a goose, and her coming back each day to briefly resume human form and suckle her baby, until her husband finds out and breaks the spell by burning the goose skin.

**In the Czech tale of The Girl Who Had a Witch for a Stepmother, "One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes" are again the heroine's three wicked stepsisters, and the animal helper is again a cow, who spins the heroine's flax for her, as promised by her mother's spirit. After the cow is killed, her remains produce an apple tree and a well full of wine, both of which only the heroine can access. A prince proposes marriage to her as a result, but on their wedding day the stepmother locks her up and sends one of her own daughters disguised in the bridal clothes, cutting her feet to make the shoes fit. But the heroine turns herself into a bird and flies after her prince and stepsister, calling out the truth. Thus she gets her happy ending.

**The Iranian tale of The Story of How Fatima Killed Her Mother and What Came of It, is obviously related closely to the Iranian Cinderella tale shared earlier in the book, The Story of Little Fatima. Once again, we have a heroine named Fatima whom a wicked woman persuades to kill her own mother, and then persuade her father to marry the woman who urged it. But after the stepmother turns abusive and starves her, the mother's forgiving spirit instructs Fatima in a dream to buy a yellow calf, which produces food from its ears. Meanwhile, the stepmother gives birth to two daughters of her own, Four-Eyes and Four-Stumps, who spy on their half-sister when they're old enough and discover her secret. After the calf is killed, the story has various twists and turns that include a "kind and unkind girls" episode, a Cinderella-style lost shoe leading a prince to Fatima, and Four-Stumps murdering and replacing Fatima after she gives birth to a son, only for Fatima to miraculously come back in the end.

**The Indian tale of Lal Badshah, the Red King, or The Two Little Princesses revolves around two sister princesses who are abused by their stepmother. They secretly find food each day on their mother's grave, until their stepmother's cat spies on them and reports it, and the wicked queen manipulates the king first into desecrating the grave, and then into abandoning his daughters in the forest, Hansel and Gretel-style. After many more twists and turns, the two finally live happily ever after, with one princess married to a king and the mother of a son, and her devoted sister by her side.

**Last of all is a Latin American tale called One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes, where as in the Grimms' tale, Two-Eyes is the heroine abused by her cruel mother and sisters. But otherwise, this is a Cinderella story. A prince gives three balls, and Two-Eyes is forbidden to go; but before the first ball, the prince meets and falls in love with Two-Eyes, so he secretly sends her a coach and finery each night. On the night of the third ball, the mother has Three-Eyes stay home to spy on Two-Eyes, and though two of her eyes fall asleep, her third eye discovers Two-Eyes' secret. The next day, when the prince comes to the house to ask for Two-Eyes' hand in marriage, the mother locks her away and tries to offer him first One-Eye, then Three-Eyes. But of course he rejects them both and finds Two-Eyes in the end.

*It's strange that the Grimms, who normally bowdlerized wicked mothers into stepmothers in their tales, offer one of the very few versions of this tale where the heroine's abusers are her own mother and sisters instead of a stepmother and stepsisters. That said, in their footnotes they do allude to other variants where the heroine is a stepdaughter and her helper is her mother's spirit.

I'm almost finished reading this enormous anthology. After this brief section comes the last set of tales: Cinderella tales that don't fit into any of the usual categories.

Kali Maa ~ Goddess Of Destruction

Understanding Kali Maa: The Goddess of Time, Change, and Destruction

Kali Maa, often simply referred to as Kali, is one of the most revered and complex deities in Hinduism. As a figure that embodies the duality of creation and destruction, Kali is often misunderstood. This blog aims to explore the origins, significance, and worship of Kali Maa, providing a comprehensive understanding of this powerful goddess.

1. **Origins and Mythological Background**

Kali is often depicted as a fierce and fearsome goddess, with a striking appearance that includes a dark complexion, wild hair, and a garland of skulls. Her origins can be traced back to ancient texts and scriptures, particularly the **Devi Mahatmya**, where she emerges as a form of Durga to combat the demon Raktabija.

In the battle against Raktabija, every drop of his blood that fell to the ground spawned new demons. To counter this, Kali sprang forth, drinking the blood of Raktabija and consuming the newly created demons. This myth highlights Kali’s role as a protector of dharma (cosmic order) and her fierce nature in battling evil.

2. **Symbolism and Representation**

Kali embodies paradoxes that are central to the human experience:

- **Destruction and Creation**: Kali represents the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. She symbolizes the destruction of ego and the removal of obstacles, allowing for spiritual growth and transformation.

- **Feminine Power**: As a goddess, Kali embodies Shakti, the divine feminine energy. She empowers women and represents strength, resilience, and independence.

- **Time**: The name "Kali" is derived from the Sanskrit word "Kaal," which means time. Kali is often seen as the personification of time, emphasizing the transient nature of existence.

Kali is typically depicted with a sword in one hand, symbolizing the cutting of ignorance, and a severed head in another, representing the ego. Her dark skin signifies the void from which creation emerges, while her fierce expression evokes both fear and reverence.

3. **Worship and Festivals**

Kali is primarily worshipped in various forms across India, with significant followings in Bengal, Assam, and other eastern states. The most important festival dedicated to Kali is **Kali Puja**, celebrated in conjunction with Diwali. This festival honors the goddess’s victory over evil and darkness.

During Kali Puja, devotees offer prayers, flowers, and food, conducting rituals in her honor. Temples dedicated to Kali, such as the famous **Kalighat Temple** in Kolkata, attract thousands of pilgrims and tourists each year.

Another significant celebration is the **Navaratri** festival, where devotees worship various forms of the goddess Durga, culminating in the worship of Kali.

4. **Kali in Philosophy and Spirituality**

Kali is not just a goddess of destruction, but also a source of profound spiritual teachings. In many traditions, she represents the need to confront and transcend one’s fears and attachments. Her fierce demeanor encourages practitioners to embrace change and let go of the past, allowing for new beginnings.

The teachings associated with Kali often focus on the importance of inner strength and resilience. Her presence calls for self-reflection, urging individuals to confront their inner demons and negative patterns of behavior.

5. **Misconceptions and Cultural Depictions**

Kali is often misunderstood in popular culture, where her fierce image can evoke fear rather than reverence. This misconception arises from the Western tendency to equate destruction with evil. However, in the context of Hindu philosophy, Kali’s destruction is seen as a necessary part of the cycle of life, leading to renewal and growth.

Kali’s iconography can also be misrepresented, leading to sensationalized portrayals in media and art. It is essential to approach her worship and symbolism with respect and an understanding of the deeper meanings behind her fierce exterior.

6. **Global Influence**

Beyond India, Kali’s influence has reached various parts of the world. She is recognized in the diaspora communities, particularly among people of Indian descent. The goddess has been embraced in various spiritual practices, including neo-paganism and goddess worship movements.

Kali’s image and teachings have also inspired artists, writers, and musicians globally, symbolizing empowerment, feminine strength, and the embrace of the darker aspects of existence.

7. **Conclusion: Embracing the Divine Feminine**

Kali Maa stands as a powerful symbol of transformation, strength, and the duality of existence. She challenges us to confront our fears and embrace change as an essential aspect of life. By honoring Kali, we acknowledge the complexities of the human experience and the importance of balance between creation and destruction.

Understanding Kali’s significance offers valuable lessons in resilience, empowerment, and spiritual growth. As we navigate the challenges of life, we can draw inspiration from Kali Maa, recognizing her as a guiding force that encourages us to face our inner demons and emerge stronger.

In celebrating Kali, we embrace not only the goddess of death and destruction but also the transformative power of the divine feminine, reminding us of the beauty that can arise from the shadows.

Buy Authentic Cuban Cigars Online In India

Cuban cigars are considered to be among the finest in the world. They are highly regarded for their flavor, aroma, and quality. Cuban cigars are also very popular with cigar aficionados because of their unique taste.

The best cuban cigars are hand rolled by skilled artisans using only the finest tobacco leaves from Cuba's rich soil. Each cigar is expertly crafted using only the most advanced methods and techniques.

Cigar connoisseurs claim that the best Cuban cigars are superior in every way to lesser quality cigars made anywhere else in the world. They say that a Cuban cigar is worth every penny of its price because they provide such a smoking experience that cannot be matched by any other brand or type of cigar out there.

Cuban cigars are famous for their rich flavor, smooth draw and long burn. Cuban cigars are available in two types: Habanos and Non-Habanos.

The Habanos are produced by the state-owned company Habanos S.A., which also owns the brands Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, Partagas and H. Upmann. They are all made with Cuban tobacco and include some of the most popular brands in the world.

The Non-Habanos use tobacco from other countries besides Cuba, such as the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua. They don't use Cuban tobacco or any other Cuban products (such as boxes) but they still label them as "Cuban" because they are made in Cuba.

Cuban Cigars are also known for their unique characteristics; they burn slower than other types of cigars and produce less smoke when you smoke them. This makes them ideal for those who enjoy smoking while having dinner with friends or family members because they won't interfere with conversation or disrupt others' enjoyment of food.

Cuban cigars come in a variety of sizes. The most common sizes include the robusto, corona gorda, lancero and torpedo. The standard Cuban cigar is 7 inches long and 44 ring gauge (1.5 inches wide), known as the Toro. This is the size that most people think of when they think of a Cuban cigar.

Authentic Cuban cigars are marked with a distinctive seal on the box and individual cigars. They also have a distinctive aroma and flavor profile that is difficult to replicate in counterfeit cigars. However, it's important to purchase Cuban cigars from a reputable source to ensure authenticity. 

If you want to try some of these amazing cigars, then look no further than our website where you can order them right now!
