Colors galore...

These are pictures from a baby shower + diwali party that I went to last weekend...

I think the flowers in Ganesha's ears are so cute :-)



Totally love the effect of the pink marbles!




These were for the mommy-to-be. There were a plate full of them, very colorful




The rest of the bangles....on the mommy-to-be's hands.

I agree with you on Ganesha being cute. ;)

And the 2nd one is a real winner. :)

Tell me the story behind this photograph. Colorful and the composition is excellent. Is this you?

Janie said...

Is this a traditional way of baby showers in your culture? Nice composition and the colors are stunning.

Jane, yes, this is the tradition of Southern India. This is a friend of mine, not me :)

We basically put on glass bangles on the mom's hands, and there are some other rituals that I am not very familiar with. I was just enthralled with the colors!
