dandia in the park

First came the dolling up, our favorite part





Then came the pooja, there she is in the front row



Party! Dandia style=)



This impromptu dandia party took place in our park last night. We potlucked, arranged some music and tried not to knock each other's heads off! Fun all around=)

Yes! ME too!!!

*Melissa, I think you and I must have been Indian women in our past life or something! ;)

Anja, you and Anika both look simply gorgeous in your Indian garb.

@Andrea - absolutely! There's a beat in my soul that moves to the music and color and energy. I so miss my college days of regularly getting to pretend I was Indian.

And yeah, ya'll look so beautiful.

Beautiful as always. And your explanation along with the pictures explains a crazy night I had in college when I was in an extremely "confused" state and wandered out onto the mall on campus at 11pm to find hundreds of people dancing to what sounded like Indian rave music and tossing what appeared to be sticks back and forth to each other. I am immensely relieved to find out about this festival. ;)
