DURGA



A familiar fragrance grows on you
the light smoke
sketching an aura divine.
The vivid vermillion around
spreads strong.
And walking through the string of diyas
Intense.

I stand before her;
Ablazed.

Comes on Durgashtami - one of the most important days of the Puja.

Well timed, brilliantly put and an awesome pic from the artist.

Happy Durga Puja to you both !
