Creating Her Own Raga for a Thunderous Night

A beige-complexioned woman with lovely features and henna-colored hair is painted with amazing brush strokes, depicting the lass in a lapis blue chest length choli, coupled with her dusty amber and a spotted lehenga that contrast with her sequined scarlet-red waistband that droops down the lehenga. Her translucent sparkling dupatta fails to cover her beautiful hair as she closes her almond eyes with the remarkable raag that she plays from her coin gray and golden sitar, by the riverside, making the birds entranced in her tune, while they sit on the sitar's kunti.

The lady is adorned with fire gold bangles and exquisite armbands. Her hair is ornamented with a crystal maang tikka, along with a matha patti that skillfully drapes down her hair. Her sleek Greek nose is pierced with a beautiful nose ring and her protruding ears are blessed with splendid moonstone drop earrings. The long neck is amazingly portrayed as a hub of jewels with alluring pearl choker necklace and an entrancing layered crystal beaded opera. Her fingertips are illustrated with henna and her graceful feet are embellished with glittery anklets which are a pleasure to watch.

Bright red apples and lime colored bananas sit on a gold painted plate that is accompanied with a bulgy golden water vessel and a saucer. Her backdrop is carved with great handiwork, to show a thunderous night, with lotus blooming in the river as the lush drees are engulfed in darkness. Lightning bolts are beautifully captured, alongside the high brown mountains, yet depicting all the birds and ducks to be bewitched in the lady's music.

An aura of peace prevails, depicting a strong connection with nature. The onlookers are even lost in the mystique music of the elegant sitar, making it a secretive yet entrancing moment between them and the divine art.

A little-known form of the Buddha, the Bhaishajyaguru is the medicine-man of Tibetan folklore. A healing monk, His iconography is identical to that of the traditional, more popular Dhyani Buddha, with the exception of some elements. From a wide-topped lotus pedestal to accommodate the signature Padmasana, to the contemplative countenance of the Shakyamuni, visualisation of the Bhaishajyaguru is in itself a healing process.

Om Mani Padme Hum

Avalokiteśvara is a bodhisattva embodying compassion go all Buddhas. A bodhisattva is a person who is well on his way to becoming a Buddha or the enlightened one. Avalokiteśvara is depicted either male or female and may appear in various forms. One such form of the Avalokiteśvara is the four-armed Shadakshari form who is most notably associated with the Om mani padme hum. This six-syllable mantra is known to be condensed teaching of Buddhism.

This Om Manu Padme Hun bracelet is a good piece that showcases the Buddhist mantra. The first syllable, the Om, is the most widely used and holiest sound in all of Indian traditions and religions. In Buddhism, it also means being in touch with the totality of existence or consciousness. It is followed by the words mani (which means jewel), then padme (or the lotus flower), and finally, hum (indivisibility or enlightenment). The bracelet gracefully crafted the mantra with sterling silver for the characters and the band itself. This is a good piece to wear for people on the lookout for a friendly reminder to live honorably and seek enlightenment just as how bracelets are also broadly used in Buddhism as a symbol of faith and as a means to perform prayers, mantras, or rituals.

This Om Mani Padme Hum silver bangle can easily integrate into one’s daily life. The mani or the jewel symbolizes the ability of people who live by the mantra to remove poverty and difficulties through a person's altruistic mind. Padme means lotus, a flower widely regarded as a symbol of purity for being able to survive with its purity even when living in murky water—a purity in emptiness is to be desired. The hum is another loaded interjection, an ending to a mantra that could lead the way to spiritual liberation.

Devi White Tara, The Princess-Bodhisattva

“Here, no man, no woman,/No I, no individual, no categories./“Man” or “Woman” are only denominations/created by confusions of perverse minds/in this world.” This is what the princess of an ancient land, named the land of numerous colours, had to say to the monks and scholars of her day. She was a Bodhisattva and had been prevailed upon to pray to the Buddha for a male rebirth. She vowed to be nothing but woman - maternal - no matter the birth in question; thus emerged the Devi Tara (White Tara).

In Her form as White Tara, the Tibetan Buddhist Devi has risen from the heart of Lord Avalokiteshvara. It is with Him that She resides in Mount Potala. In this gorgeously coloured thangka, She is seated on a fiery red lotus, Her robes of gold and scarlet almost blending in with Her large sun-like aureole. In Her mandala are the five dhyani Buddhas and, of course, Lord Avalokiteshvara and Lord Maitreya.

The Devi Herself has the supple body of a pristine lotus. Her feet are gathered in the perfect padmasana, and Her long maternal torso is revealed to the gaze of the devotee but for the sashes that float about Her. In Her left hand She delicately holds a long golden vine with a blue lotus blooming at the tip. Note how the solid gold kundalas on Her earlobes lie against the jet black of Her fine tresses, making for a beauteous contrast of colour and texture.

The Sisters

Two sisters, each of them married into families of good breeding from the neighbouring villages, have gathered at their childhood home. They are on a break from duties at their respective sasural (marital home), probably having come on the occasion of the kuladevi poojana at the mayka (maiden home). They have arrived early on in order to help their mother with the requisite preparations, while their husbands are to attend on the eve of the ritual.

Dressed in the tradition of North Indian women, the sisters look every bit the daughters-in-law of respectable zamindar families. The elder one is in a green and ivory silk lehenga, while the younger, more recently married one is dressed in scarlet silks. The brocade and booties on each go well with the fine gold jewellery they are wearing, studded with matching jewels. From the headband to the rings on their delicate toes, the sisters’ shringar is flawless.
