Fruits, plants, fabrics, cushions, objects..., assembled and waiting in their stillness for something greater, with a meaning and a purpose. This is, for me, the epitome of a celebration!

@Teresa Seia you gave it more meanings with this comment. This is harvest season in Nepal. So we are going through many festivities here which incorporates all those fruits,plants. The one with bright light green is maize sapling which is for worshipping our gods.
Thanks a lot for your appreciation.

A celebration of the victory of good over evil, it says on the website I visited. Also a celebration of good harvests and family reunion. Apparently it's the most important festival in Nepal, lasting around 15 days. Did I get it right? 🤓 In any case, your picture is so colourful and happy, thank you for sharing! (Oh, by the way, I think I never mentioned this but a while ago I tried to teach myself some Nepali, didn't get far but did manage to learn some fun expressions...)

But when I was trying to learn I used to listen to songs, either oldies or contemporary romantic pop songs. I found the latter were better to understand the words, because the singers would usually articulated them really well. There's one I still remember the beginning of, called Maya Jalaima. It was something like, "Maya jalaima fase ki, ramailo lagchha yo din ani raat". I know there's something about days and nights in there, but I'm not sure if the transliteration is spelled correctly 😅
