It's a privilege to walk down a residential area like Shanthinagar in Bangalore and find the streets decorated with rangolis – as if to welcome you. Art has been integrated as part of the sacred. Rangolis are made to honour and welcome gods. This is daily art therapy!
A riot of colours in our Rooftop garden, just in time to welcome the festival of colours, Holi.
After a long spell of cold, sunny days are here again. With the sunny days more buds have started blooming into beautiful rainbow hued flowers.
...But the ball lilies that appeared out of nowhere under betel nut trees in my neighbour’s garden in Langford Town in Bangalore were no less amazing! As luck would have it, much as I have admired these, I don’t own a ball lily bulb. Who cares! Come summer and I’ll find them blooming some place again :-)
