Have you started preparing for the Pujas !!

Sweet is thy LOVE!.........  Sweeter is thy ANGER!! ............ Sweetest is thy SMILE............. Mother!!!

Come August and the air of festivities begin in different parts of India. From Rakshabandhan to Janmashtami, to Ganesh Chaturthi to Navrathri and Deepavali, the list seems end less. Out of all these festivals, Durga Puja or Navrathri is celebrated with sincere pomp and joy in the eastern and northern parts of India.

As the name indicates, Navrathri is a celebration of ten days and nine nights, during which, the Mother Goddess Durga is said to have fought and vanquished the demon Mahishasura. Mythology has it that the fight to end the asura lasted for nine nights and ten days. It is also said that in the epic Ramayana, a similar fight happened during Navrathri with Rama killing the demon king Raavan on the tenth day.

All across India, these ten days are celebrated through fasting and ritualistic prayers, the climax of which happens on the tenth day. In Northern and Western India, giant effigies of Raavan are burnt to denote the end of evil. The practice is a little different in Eastern India, wherein, the presence of sacred Mother Goddess is invoked through prayers on the first day of the pujas (also called Mahalaya).

She stays  in the makeshift pandals for the next nine days, and is bid adieu on the tenth day. The idol that was used to signify the presence of the Mother is submerged in the holy waters of the Ganges on this day.

A national holiday is declared to allow everybody to enjoy the festivities to the fullest with their family and friends. Although, the holiday granted is only for a period of five days, the best time of the year starts almost as soon asyou start preparing for this grand festival. So, have you started your bit of shopping yet? Remember, the artisans are busy shaping up straw and bamboo idols of the Goddess and will be adding colour to them in no time.

SPIRAL PALM CHAIN

 

One such unique flower is the Anthurium. Anthuriums originally belong to tropical America, with close to 800 species found in northern Argentina, Mexico and Uruguay. Other common names of this heart-shaped flower are Flamingo Lily, Painted Tongue and Flamingo Flower. The flower is a modified leaf which flares out from the fleshy spike where the actual flowers grow. The stem reaches to a length of about 20 inches depending on the leaf’s size: the bigger the leaf, the longer the stem. These flowers are very attractive and popular among flower growers and lovers alike. At Floralis, you will find Anthuriums in different cuts and flower arrangements.

STRAW BALL ON STEM

 

Another flower in this category is the Bird of Paradise, available exclusively at Floralis, the online flower shop. It is one of the most vibrant flowers around and originates from South Africa. The name has been derived from its spectacular shape which has an uncanny resemblance to a bird’s head and beak. The flower appears similar to a colorful bird in flight. Birds of Paradise are also called Crane Flowers and they bloom between September and May. The foliage is similar to banana leaves and has long petioles. The leaves of the plant follow a strict two rank arrangement to form a thick, glossy green crown making it an ideal ornamental plant. The Birds of Paradise plants usually grow 4 feet tall.

ROMAN CANDLE

 

Calla Lilies are popular for wedding bouquets, and you will certainly spot one according to your liking at Floralis. They signify beauty and magnificence and hence their demand in matrimonial celebrations.  A Calla Lily flower has a very unique form which is very different from other varieties and helps it stand out. It comes in various colors of pink, yellow, purple, green and orange. Callas are also referred to as Trumpet Lily, Arum Lily and Pig Lily. They belong to southern Africa and are relatively easier to grow than other exotic plants. On average, a Calla Lily grows between 1 to 3 feet high. The leaves are 1.5 inches long and rich green. They look like arrowheads, with silver or white speckles. 

 

Black Berry

 

Calla Lilies make excellent houseplants, ideal for flower arrangements, bouquets, borders and beds. At Floralis, our expert florists put together elegant flower arrangements using Calla Lilies so that you can cherish those special occasions for a long time.

Brighten up This Diwali with Diyas and Candles & Special Gifts

And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.

Light - the source of all. All that is Good, all that is Holy, and all that is Pure. Light, signifying a triumph over evil, a celebration of being. The light of knowledge, the light of wisdom and the light that pervades all - the light of the soul! Diwali also called Dipawali is a Festival that celebrates the triumph of Goodness over all that is not, through an offering of lights. The festival of lights - Deepawali!

Following closely after the five days festivities of Durga Puja, Deepawali recaptures the mood and recreates the vibes of happiness and fun once again. The nation breathes as one again, and celebrates as one. Every house, every street, every corner lights up, dispelling the faintest shadow of darkness. The country decks up like a bride, in her finery of colourful, vibrant lights. Lights of the illuminated candles and diyas, which are used to decorate homes, and the distinguishing factor of the festival of Deepawali - crackers! No sight could be more attractive than that of a Deepawali night, when exploding crackers light up the night sky in a flood of colours, and brightness, and life! The stars that deck up the firmament as an offering of the elements to the cosmos are reflected by the little diyas and lamps that line up every nook and corner of houses and streets. It is a festival celebrated by man and by Nature, together, in a symphony that pervails the spirit of the occasion.

Deepawali calls for beauty. It calls for togetherness. It stands for all that is good, pure and sacred. It is an occasion that elicits the hope of good in us, again, each year. Doubts clear, wounds heal, worries fade away. The lamps light up hearts, revive hopes, renew dreams. An aura of well being pervades all. And each year we cherish the all-encompassing feeling of goodness. Each year we pray that it does not end with the festival. That it stays. That it uplift us toward the light that so warms up the soul. And every year we give the festival our all. All our faith, all our beauty, All our labours to make it as bright, as happy as we would want each and every day to be, each and every life to be. And each and every year we come back with the same hope.
This Diwali, let us adorn our nation, our cities, our houses with the most valuable finery of all: Belief. To be good, and do good. Let us promise to spread the Light that God has created for us, our entertainment, our enlightenment, our Nirvana.

Durga Puja and Indian Culture! And Wishes from Florists

Durga Puja - means triumph of Good over Evil. The Grandest FestivalMost awaited Festival in India when this nation breathes as one. The Celebration that bonds religions, cultures and races; that pulls a string tying the hearts and the minds of people across the biases of every divide. This is a Festival which decides the everybody's schedule, even when it is months away. Plans and schedules, meet-ups and feasts, Gifts and Return Gifts - this is a season of love, care and joy. Wherever we are for whatever reason, this is the season of homecoming!

Durga puja means the Dhaak! Durga Puja means the kaash phool! It means the sun. It means the aimless white clouds in the sky. It means a lot more. To everyone, a different something. Yet!But to everybody, the same! Listening to the first chant of the shloka awaking the Goddess Mother in the early dawn of the Mahalaya is a experience that defies comparison. The feeling of new clothes on Sasthi, the pandal hopping with friends on Saptami, the early morning anjali on Ashtami, the feast on Nabami, and the sindur-khela on Dashami signifying a warm, touching parting of the Mother are the moments that make the year! It is about the mindless, thoughtless binging on junk food everyday from the local makeshift roadside shacks. It is about madness! It is about everything that forms fragments of a time that repeats itself every year, but is very much special to us.

And so Puja is a time for beauty. For Freshness and for a new start. It is a cascade of sights and sounds and smells and touches. It is a welcome that reaches the known and the unknown alike. The welcome of a Mother who manifests Herself in Nature, and in our being. We feel beautiful, and we feel like beautifying. Flower delivery from Flowers Shop and Trinkets and Decorations to make the homecoming of your beloved one to care for; Fragrances and Colors that lend your abode the warmth of your heart. And yes, nothing compares to the smile of happiness and gratitude that you get in return. We hope for a happy homecoming. We look forward to a very happy time this October with family, friends and loved ones.

Significance of The Wonderful Festival in India - Durga Puja. Enjoy the Festival with Sending Flower by Florists & Flower Shop

There is a solitary cloud in the blue sky that narrates a story; a scent in the air that spins a tale; a hum in our head that creates a dream; a dream of peace, and serenity, and bliss; of days of fun, frolic, and pleasure; of a impatience that is fresh in its importunity. And there is a time of the year that fosters each of these into the unexplored regions of our mind and our soul and makes us eager, cheerful, and untamed! The season in which we welcome the dearest, the most loved of the Mothers, The most precious of the daughters for a short stay with us, followed by Her children. Maa Durga illuminates our lives for five days in one of the Most Extraordinary Festivals Celebrated in India across boundaries of faith, culture and class. And we forget ourselves in the joy!

The season of the Durga Puja is a time that evades even the boundaries of wordsmithing. It is the essence of the mother who waits for days to bless her child and her family; the heart and soul of the daughter who wait for time to run into the arms of a mother who is distant; of a grandchild who yearns for the loving embrace of a grandmother, or the amusing, pampering-to-death grandfather. It is a period when every house becomes a home in the anticipation of the return of a loved one. Every corner of the home assures a coziness of a mother’s lap. Every neglected vase comes out to burst in a splash of colours, arranged with Fragrant Fresh Flowers . The house beams with happiness, the floors shine with welcome, the doors are open even when they are not. And beauty flows in, drop by drop, into a soul, a mind, and a nation!

As the Durga Puja fervor sets on, so does the need to make each day a extraordinary one. The colours of the season find its way in the garbs of the people who reinvent themselves every day in all that is unique. Nobody, nowhere can probably match the craze of the Durga Puja Shopping which sweeps an entire population like a drift. Clothes and Shoes and Bags for us and all the Dear Ones, and Fresh Flower Delivery from Florists, or Flowers Shop and Fragrances and Furniture for our homes top the list. Nothing makes us feel better than the feel of a new fabric on the skin, and nothing transforms a house into a home more than a Bunch or two of Flowers - Fresh, Dried, or Artificial Flowers . A day of seemingly infinite pandal-hopping and senseless junk-eating is rounded off blissfully when you return to a home that unfolds the same feeling with a milder tone of warmth and shelter.

Flowers are a friend of feelings. The gentleness never betrays to soothe a nerve that’s thrilled with ecstasy or bent over with torment. And the Puja is the time for nothing but pure, untainted joy. So here we welcome Maa Durga with delighted heart, peaceful mind, and a Bouquet of Colors and Fragrances in our hands - an Offering of Love to the One we Worship!

Happy Durga Puja!
