Guru(dev)'s Birthday Celebration (Full Moon too.)

Sand Paintings and ornate, wall covers behind on Pahari Baba's box
Where to start with the photo share?  This is the most amazing, stunning, beautiful, awesome display in a ceremony yet.  I am not sure how this could be topped, but maybe?  The amount of hand details in the creation of the artwork is what is so remarkable:  the creation of the sand paintings that took over 8 hours, the banana tree, decorated wall covers, and the always lovely garlands, garlands, and more garlands.  A thumbnail sketch of the event as a start.

Night lighting with small candles--more beauty added
Lots of roses as gifts, live music at the far end of Gurudev's area, and one example of the wall coverings.
Every part of the ashram was included in the celebration
Not Durga Ceremony but a lot of similarities
The layers of production: internal and external
Celebration at every corner
