Pretty Gate...

Caught sight of this ornamental gate while walking around town... 

Hanging lanterns...

I was in Bangalore recently and this little knick knack place stopped me in my tracks... they had such pretty colourful lanterns on display. Check them out...

Faint glow...

There were some left over serial lights and mom just spread them over a bunch of decorative flowers in a vase. The effect was beautiful as seen below... the soft mesmerizing glow changed the mood of the room, made it more magical and dreamy.

Christmas at home...

A few pictures taken this Christmas...

The crib and the tree

The nativity scene...

The wise men following the star...

The tree...

My room, with a paper doily wreath...

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

Intriguing deities...

Saw these deities on display and they are intriguing... especially the elephant god perusing a book. 

 A picture of rotund bliss....

 The Buddha reclining... 

 The elephant god again with numerous hands... 

The elephant god with many heads...

Colourful Lamps

So I saw these pretty pretty cotton lamps on display and I fell for them... the variety and the colours, they could brighten up any space.

These cream ones are my favourite...

Even these colourful ones are so nice... 

I like the middle green one here, I don't know why I never bought any.

Even these noodle like lamps will look great with a soft light shining in them...

Indian Handicrafts...

Saw these at Mahabalipuram, pretty neat... right? I like the shapes and patterns of these objects... 

A closer view... as usual please click on the picture to enlarge it.
