Frangapani Flavors

Just picked up all the beautiful Frangapani flowers that drop from the trees each day near my place and they make an amazing float in the water in my Traditional "Urali" - the brass bowl. The fragrance from it....Wow its Heaven. A couple of them in a bowl of water in any corner of your home is just the ideal feature.

This is an interesting one, I just picked one of my incense holders, this one is a Sandstone piece, i just placed a few of these lovely flowers and this can be kept anywhere...just find a place at home.

Candles with flowers this is my all time favorite combination, A lovely Sandstone Standing Apsara Candle Stand with Frangapani's.

DIWALI DHAMAKAHA @ HOME - 2

Another one of those nice ways to decorate for Diwali. Earthen Lamps,Incense Holders and bells all made of Clay. Brightness from Candle lights, flower scents all add to the festive mood.

Traditional Kumkum & Turmeric given to Women during Goddess Lakshmi Pooja. Is considered auspicious and prosperous. Good wishes & Sweets are also exchanged.
What more could be beautiful then fresh Rose Petals floating in water and candles. They can just be placed at the entrance or any corners of your home. Its beautiful just anywhere.
