Thursdays of every Magha Masa(Nov - Dec month as per the full moon days) are very auspicious. This is the time we welcome the Goddess Laxmi to our house.
The mothers, the sisters and wives are the living reflection of the goddess in our houses. They take the pain to perform the difficult rituals. Usually every wednesdays we have non-veg food in the house. So they clean the floors late night and draw patterns with a paste made out of rice powder soaked overnight and water. In wee hours even before the sunlight they take shower and perform the rituals, worship the goddess and offer fruits and delicacies.
It is not the first time I am writing about these rituals. But today it seemed very special and appealing again.
I find this ritual very amazing and its little bit like Christmas for the men. As we wake up we see the house floors with beautiful patterns. I become very curious and check around all the house doors and different rooms. This act of the women is really appreciable. How much pain they take to perform this ritual. Really they are the true reflection of the goddess in our families.
The pictures are of my sister and the patterns she drew in the house.
