Shed your veil so that we can welcome you,
Remove the wisp of cloth with both your hands.
Sylvan nymphs blow on melodious conches from their doorways.
The universe welcomes your advent with music from celestial strings.
Within my being, I sense the tinkling of gold anklets.
All thoughts, all tasks are eased by the nectar of your presence —
Wonder fills my senses.
— Rabindranath Tagore
What are the tell-tale signs of the festive season in India? For some, it may be the sight of a squeaky blue sky with a slight scattering of wooly clouds, and for many, it is the particular aroma of a smoky fog. Early mornings stir with a nip in the air, Saptaparni buds emerge in clusters almost overnight impregnating the air with its heady perfume, water chestnuts begin their journey from secluded ponds to the markets and the watery sunlight doesn’t feel as warm on the skin. On the departing heels of Teej arrives the most celebrated festival of all; Navratri, meaning ‘nine nights’, celebrating the homecoming of Goddess Durga, sending India in a scurry of market hops. Verandahs that lay dormant year long will now see a horde of bedecked visitors greeted by beautiful rangolis carpeting the floors illuminated by decorative lighting, all lying in anticipation for Maa Durga to arrive. A quiet hum of Rabindra sangeet reverberates through the Bengali drawing rooms. No moment is dull or wasted as the family plans the festive menus, which events to attend, and what to wear to capture the eye of one's beloved.
