The festival dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, Married women, (Sumangaliyaru) praying for family well being, health and prosperity.

Mom visited three houses to receive kumkum and prasada, and at place, I also went by car, Su mm,chindra-Radhika's House.

The essences of the Goddess, indeed of all females, are said to be arishina and kunkum [sic]. ... Turmeric, though applied to the exterior of the female, to her skin, enlivens her interior life, layering her from within, adding depth and texture. She glows more intensely from within. ... Her self-shining seems also to signal the intensification of coherence and integrity, equalities of selfness, the qualities of depth. . . . Through the essences of turmeric and vermilion, goddess and woman overlap, periodically, momentarily.

God Bless All.
