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. Just as you shop sarees and gifts, they will be drawing those beautiful eyes that will bless you during those holy days.

Beauty of Fresh Flowers


Beauty of Fresh Flowers

Flowers speak to us in a thousand ways. They show love, care and affection. They are one of the most special ways to express feelings and say the unsaid.

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 mother̢۪s 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 that̢۪s 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!
