I worship Devī seated on a lotus, who is radiant like thousands of rising suns, who has three eyes in her shining lotus face, who has a moon and gems bound to her crown. She is wearing a red silk sari, and a garland of heads. Her breasts are smeared with red. In her lotus hands she is keeping a rosary for japa, and the mudrās of jñāna, fearlessness, and granting boons.

Happy Durga Puja 2025!

This was officially my birthday. I had applied mehendi that night (cuz aisehi sexy laga) so when I woke up in the morning my hands looks nice and the mehendi had stained quite dark.

I spent the day whole morning and afternoon doing nothing and then had my tradition birthday lunch whose photo I forgot to click lol...

But then, my aunt and cousin sister came (the only other two people who weren't going on the trip my other family members went that day). And we decided to go pandal hoping again cuz why not?

Me and my cousin had loads of fun, especially since it was gonna be her birthday the next day (we have so close birthdays hahahaha she's three years younger than me). I clicked all her bad pucs to post the next day huehuehuehue.

I saw the cool cool Durga pratimas and this was the day I saw that Diva Kartik and Yoga Pro Mahishasur and some cool cool other Deities whose pictures Ig I'll post later if I feel like.

Me and my cousin had fun on the rides in the mela (my head spinned hard lmao) and we brought cool cool taal patar shepai, they are iconic shit ok.

I ate pizza when I came back home, cuz it was still my birthday and I had to eat something nice, but I had already done b'day feast the previous day. So only a pizza lol.

Unfortunately my cousin went home before she could eat. Cuz it was getting really late and her father would get angry otherwise and she wanted to cut cake with him and her mom at their home after 12 LOL...

That's how my Panchami went....
