There it is, still on time! Happy Springfest!

💐🐥🐇🧸💐

Check the description if you want to know more about the design process on this one!

🌈Spring blossoms across the world!🌈

(my version of Deep Cut's Springfest outfits redesigned to match the cultures they represent)

💚🌸 Starting with Shiver and her japanese vibes, I gave her the hanami dango 🍡 from Frye's original design (because I found it super cute!) so I placed it on her earrings and folding fan. Adding to her green of this Splatfest and the sakura leitmotiv already present, I added more greenery by making her headpiece more elaborated with a branch sticking out, similar to a kunzashi! That and a short, modern take on a kimono set up her redesign.

🪷🩷 Moving on to Frye... Oh boy did her looks take a lot of effort and research!

So, as starters I wanted to her Indian vibe to shine, and decided to give her a bit of their own Spring celebration known as Holi, the Festival of Color. On the same note I give her a lotus headpiece that along with jewerly, a translucent half saree and her joyful vibes completed her look.

🌼🩵 And out dear Big Man, if course, had to be a Carnaval King! I made his headpiece waaaay more exaggerated and gave him a butterfly bow-tie cuz puns! I also learned that the national brazilian flower is called an "ipê amarelo" so I placed the small yellow flowers in his crown as well. Overall, gave him more color.

Here's a picture if the WIP!

Anyhow, it's my version and a lot of people have done other lovely redesigns, but this is mine and I like it! I hope you guys enjoy it too! 💕

KTAW Day #1: Culture

Holi: Festival of Colors, Love and Spring

"How do we wake her up?" Kiara faintly hears Raelyn muttering.

"Just gently nudge her arm, but hurry my love, this breakfast tray is quite heavy." Hana's voice sounds somewhere in the cloud of light sleep Kiara was drifting in. Then suddenly Kiara was being wildly shaken.

"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey...well not really, but malpuas didn't rhyme so..." Raelyn-

"Gently, Rae, gently!" Hana admonishes Raelyn and then looks at Kiara who is sitting up disheveled and disoriented.

"Sorry Kiara, I think they're excited for our first color festival." Hana says apologetically.

"We brought you breakfast!" Raelyn sings as Hana sits the tray in Kiara's lap.

"Oh my...this is so sweet!" Kiara says touched by her best friends surprising her with breakfast in bed.

"Literally so sweet, I've had a stack of rainbow waffles and I'm about to bounce off the walls." Kiara laughs at Raelyn before beginning to nibble on her sweet breakfast.

"We'll let you eat in peace, Kiara, meet us downstairs when you're ready?" Hana says while swatting at Raelyn's hand who was trying to steal an idli (a savory rice cake) from Kiara's plate.

"I will." Kiara says smiling at the couple's antics and admiring the view outside of her window as they shut the door behind them.

An hour later, Kiara came down into the main living room at the small villa in Mathura, the Valtoria duchesses had rented for the weekend. The rest of the friend group had prior obligations and weren't able to attend but miraculously, Kiara was in-between social events and with a little pleading from Hana, Kiara joined the couple for their first Holi festival.

Kiara knew about Holi and what it stood for. A celebration of the end of winter and the beginning of spring, a celebration of love, and an occasion to reset and renew ruptured relationships and end conflicts. But knowing the indept cultural and historical aspects of the Hindu traditions, didn't mean Kiara had ever participated and looking at the couple in matching white and pink flower saree and kurta, Kiara felt awkward and out of place in her black dress.

Hana's saree and Raelyn's white kurta and trousers with pink rose jacket.

The couple turns at Kiara's arrival.

"I knew she'd be wearing something black!" Raelyn exclaims.

"Oh, je suis dèsolè, is this dress not appropriate?" Kiara asks looking down at her dress unsure.

"You rock black like a queen, Kiara, but you gotta wear light colors so the colors of the powders show up." Raelyn says.

"Don't worry, we got a gift for you." Hana says before opening a conveniently nearby closet and pulling out a dress in a garment bag.

Trying the beautiful silk ruffle saree on in the bathroom, she marvels at the colors before coming out to show it off.

Kiara's saree

"Whoa!" Raelyn-

"Ahh! I got the size right!" Hana claps.

"Hana...Raelyn...merci beaucoup...this is so beautiful, it's almost a shame that we're about to ruin it." Kiara says hugging Hana.

"Speaking of..." Raelyn says grinning mischievously at Kiara before gently dabbing bright green powder on her nose. The two stand staring at each other in a show down.

"Oh, this is war." Kiara says quietly, slowly smirking. The grin on Raelyn's face slips off when Hana hands Kiara a heaping bag of pink powder.

"Now, now hold on a minute!" They say backing out of the patio doors at the two grinning ladies that were both holding bags of powder, advancing on Raelyn.

"Rae darling? You really should be running." Hana says causing Raelyn to squeal and run. Hana and Kiara laugh as they chase their quarry.

Krishna Fics

Train to Vrindavan (completed)

Ch: 1 Ch: 2 Ch: 3 Ch: 4

Bhaishmi and her cousins are on a trip to the temple towns of Vrindavan and Mathura to celebrate Holi, the festival of colours. Straight out of a bollywood fantasy of every hopeless romantic where one meets a nice stranger and they fall in love, Bhaishmi here meets a charismatic curly haired boy on the train who plays a flute and has eyes that twinkle just like stars.

After a playful game of Antakshari where tiny sparks have erupted between the two, would the prime bollywood fantasy come true or they part ways after moving to their respective destinations?

Braj ki Holi (completed)

Ch: 1 Ch: 2 Ch: 3 Ch: 4 Ch: 5 Epilogue

The two groups of cousins are in town for Holi. The flute boy and Bhaishmi are perhaps more than friends now it seems? No? Tune in to see it for yourself.

A tale of young first love and friendship and a trip around the famous temples of Vrindavan and Mathura. Friendly banters, playful flirtations and stolen moments.... Something is brewing between Krishna and Bhaishmi, but does their story get their happy ending or will they part again forever with memories of beautiful festival of colours and love?

Adharam Madhuram (oneshot)

Pov of a gopi who is now old and has a young adolescent daughter. The daughter finds out some letters hidden under her mother's sarees addressing a boy called Krishna. She wonders who this boy was and asks her mother who now sits like a statue when she hears her daughter take his name.

Krishna. The boy with beautiful lips and an enchanting face, who had entranced everyone in Vrindavan. And just like all enchanting things that fade away in time, the darling of Vrindavan left the town, left his friends and his beloved gopis.

This story belongs to one of those gopis who loved him dearly, and remained in hopes of just one last glimpse and just one letter.

Vivah Bandhan

Prologue Ch: 1 Ch: 2 Ch: 3 Ch: 4

Mathura Nagarpati (oneshot)

Not all promises are kept, not even by the Gods. He has come back to fulfill his promise to one friend if not the whole of his village and to all those who until their dying breath carried hope -- that someday their darling child, their best friend, would come back.

Time has never stopped for anyone. The maiden, now old was living her life well with her family and children until she sees a familiar feather dance on top of her head.

Is he really back?

Pratiksha (oneshot)

Yeyyyyyy today's the day where I can wake up at 4:00 A.M to listen to the holy songs of my country's ancient ten handed Goddess.

(I saw her ritual in UK too when I was 4)

Might sound weird to you as I'm from a different country. Luckily, our festival is one of UNESCO's world heritage. (Even 1 month ago our state's chief minister formed a huge crowd to thank UNESCO for making it one of the world heritages). And I totally missed that as I'm suffering from cough, cold, blocked nose and throat pain. Ignore my sickness. And I watched a show which was in a different language, I mean my state's language, from 5:00 to 7:00.

@nonoctalie in your country there is a club where that very huge festival is going on. Also my mom saw your reply and said in bengali "my dear, your friend is so sweet, tell her I said thank you".

For everyone, the festival is happening all around the world. People of any type are always welcome. My state is the main source of that festival. Still, for my dear followers and for the people around every corner of the world, you can wear pretty new clothes and go there :D. May the Goddess bless you all.

translation: Happy Mahalaya

(For people who don't know, Mahalaya is a day which marks the beginning of the upcoming festival, Durga Puja, the festival which is celebrated to worship the ten handed Goddess who was created by hundreds of Gods and saved the innocent and the Kingdom of heaven from a buffalo demon named Mahisasur. The people beside the Goddess except the one who is stabbed are her children. She is shown sitting on a lion as it is gifted by Lord Himalaya, the God who is the lord of the Himalaya mountains and with other weapons on each hand with the main weapon the trident. The children are Goddess Laxmi, the Goddess of wealth with her pet or vehicle a snowy owl, Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of education, culture and music with her pet or vehicle a swan, Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed God of wisdom and understanding with his pet or vehicle a rat and Lord Kartik, the God of war with his pet or vehicle a peacock. Luckily, in Goddess Saraswati's Puja, i don't need to study and I'm free all day but have to wear a yellow and red saree all day :') and this is the longest blog i have ever written so don't mind me 😊) It is celebrated from the seventh day till the tenth day as the fifth day is the day when the idol arrives at the pandal or the place where the puja is going to happen.

About Myself and My Cultural Identity

Hi dear reader, I'm Tanvi Gupta, and today in this section of my blog, I would like to introduce you to my cultural identity. Starting with myself, I am a student pursuing PG Program in Fashion Design and Technology. Delving into my cultural identity, I'm born and bought up in a culturally rich joint family in New Delhi. The best take-off to explain my culture would be from festivals that we celebrate. All prominent festivals are celebrated in my family including Lohri, Holi, Navratris, Raksha Bandhan, Dussehra and Diwali to name a few. Special festival delicacies, such as 'Makki di Roti' and 'Sarson da Saag' on Lohri, 'Sabu dana Khichdi' on Navratri fasting days, are cooked to celebrate each festival. Other fun parts of festival celebration include vibrant festive attires, and, decorating home with rangolis and torans, especially during Diwali.

Here's a video that will give a brief about my culture.

Coming to the attire, the daily cultural attire for ladies in my culture includes salwar-suit or kurtis with leggings or pants. While for gents it is usually shirt and pant. Present day wedding attire for ladies include lehengas, sarees and gowns, while for gents, it includes tuxedos and waistcoats. Being a North Indian, wheat and pulses form our staple food. There are some quintessential foods that are prepared each season. For instance, phirni(a dessert prepared using rice), chaach & lassi, and many more during summers. While for winters, Gajar ka halwa, gur ki gajjak with mungphali, besan milk with dry fruits, find a special place on our kitchen shelves.

Some other aspects of my culture include boys touching feet of the elderly to seek their blessing, Kumkum used in temples and at homes for worshipping, singing bhajans and aartis songs on festival days, form an indispensable part of my culture. I am really proud of my culture and traditions and really appreciate being a part of it. Moreover, I feel really blessed to be born in a culturally rich family and to be rooted to my traditions. Dear reader, let's engage ourselves in an activity that will allow us to reflect and appreciate our culture. Comment about what part of your culture you connect with the most, it may be the way you celebrate your festivals, or maybe some foods that you enjoy the most, or the way you attire for your festivals, anything.

THANK YOU
