As the calendar turns to October, we find ourselves stepping into a realm of resplendence, where each day shimmers with the magic of festivities. It's a month that ignites our souls, setting our hearts aglow with anticipation. From the onset of Navratri to the dazzling magnificence of Diwali and the warmth of Bhai Dooj, October is a tapestry of celebrations woven with love, devotion, and boundless joy.


In this enchanting time of year, India adorns herself in vibrant colors, lights up the darkest corners, and fills the air with the fragrant promise of new beginnings. It is a period when traditions come to life, history finds expression through rituals, and the bonds of family and friendship are renewed around the auspicious flames of diyas.





A Glimpse of the Radiant Festivals in October:


Navratri - The Dance of Devotion (15th October 2023)

The month commences with the melodic melodies of the dandiya sticks clashing in rhythm. Navratri, a nine-night festival dedicated to the divine feminine, is celebrated with fervor and zeal across the country. The nights come alive with mesmerizing garba dances, intricate Rangoli patterns, and the divine glow of diyas.

The celebrations continue on Navami, where the goddess is revered with fasting, prayers, and rituals. Devotees seek her blessings for a prosperous and harmonious life.


Dussehra - Triumph of Good over Evil (24th October 2023)

Revealing the Timeless Beauty: Crafting a Greek Woman's Portrait

Dear Esteemed Readers, I am absolutely delighted to unveil the captivating journey behind the creation of this exquisite women's portrait. Our source of inspiration hails from the timeless elegance of a Greek woman. In the annals of Ancient Greece, the epitome of beauty lay in three quintessential elements: symmetry, proportion, and harmony. Their visages were adorned with delicate contours and cascading waves of hair, epitomizing the very essence of grace.

Complementing these features, one often finds luxuriant tresses of dark hair, elegantly carved cheekbones, and visages bearing the hallmark of a rectangular grace.

Follow me on  Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | Youtube .  These are the artists who are recognised in your society. The ones who are “making it”. Some artists turn to online sales to get aside from having to talk to people. They are shy or don't know how to talk about their art.  Unfortunately, that's the reason they won’t be successful online either.  You can’t build a website, sneak behind the pretty pictures, and wait for the sales to move in.
