Dussehra: Celebrating the Strength and Resilience of Women

Happy Vijayadashami to everyone 🙏

Dussehra, also known for Vijayadashami, symbolizes the triumph of good over evil, particularly through the story of Goddess Durga defeating wicked Mahishaasur. On this day, Lord Rama emerged victorious over the raakshasa king Ravana.

Mahishasura sought a boon from Lord Brahma that granted him invincibility against all men and gods. He asked for the power to be defeated only by a woman, believing this would make him invulnerable. This boon stemmed from his arrogance and underestimation of women's strength. He underestimated women by viewing them as weak and inferior, believing that they could never challenge or defeat him. He failed to recognize the strength and unity of female deities, particularly Goddess Maa Durga, who embodied not just physical prowess but also intelligence, strategy, and resilience.

This underestimation ultimately contributed to his downfall, as Maa Durga, representing the collective power of women, united various forces and defeated him, illustrating that true strength transcends gender and is often found in unity and determination.

Ravana underestimated Maa Sita by viewing her as merely a weak and helpless woman, believing that her abduction would not only secure his victory over Lord Rama but also that she would submit to him. He failed to recognize her inner strength, intelligence, and unwavering devotion to Lord Rama.

This miscalculation led to his downfall. Maa Sita remained resilient and steadfast in her principles, and her unwavering loyalty to Lord Rama inspired him to seek her rescue. Ravana's inability to see Maa Sita as a formidable force ultimately contributed to his defeat, demonstrating that underestimating women can have dire consequences.

Job Description

Durga oversees the ship’s life support systems such as oxygen levels, air quality, internal temperature, water quality, electrical systems (along with Daniela), safety mechanisms of the ship, etc.

Although she's an engineer, she does technical work for the ship as well.

Personality

Durga is a very bubbly and loving person, tackling everyday activities with a large smile on her face. Her sweet personality is reflected in her hobbies; She loves the culinary arts as a whole but displays a much stronger passion towards baking sweets.

She loves socializing with others and getting to know about their interests and/or occupations, although many find her elated personality off-putting; her only mutual friends being Anya, Daniella, and Daisuke. Swansea and Curly view her more so as a colleague rather than a friend.

Durga is somewhat childlike as well, her playful nicknames for her fellow crewmates and love for jokes reflecting that.

Post-crash, there was a huge shift in her behavior. Her once enthusiastic attitude had changed to a bleak one, not having much hope that she and her fellow crewmates would be rescued from the wreckage of the Tulpar.

She isolated herself within her room, leaving only a few times throughout the entirety of the time following the crash. *

* - In the canon mouthwashing universe, the sleeping quarters were foamed up. In my oc-verse, the rooms were left unscathed by the crash.

[deramin2]

Playing Raji: An Ancient Epic again and I'm so blown away at how it blends ancient storytelling mediums with modern videogames to tell a Hindi epic fantasy story.

It's a Indian game about a brother (Golu) and sister (Raji) who are orphaned and perform as acrobats with in a carnival. When Golu and other children are kidnapped by demons, Raji chases after to rescue him. Sure it's helped by the deities Goddess Durga and Lord Vishnu who also serve as narrators.

The cut scenes are all done in the style of traditional Indian shadow puppetry with Durga and Vishnu telling the story. The game design is based on pahari paintings with architecture designs inspired by medieval Rajasthan.

Along the way are status and reliefs of mythological figures that you can look closer at and hear/read who they are and briefly what they are known for.

There are also mural series with symbolic depictions of story elements. You can examine them and as Vishnu tells story, the figures are highlighted to show who or what each is in the same way a teacher would point to them. It's a super cool way to be introduced to the mythology.

Because she's an acrobat, Raji's fight style revolves around tumbling to avoid damage between attacks. Combat is mostly about figuring out the gimmick of the enemy to dodge them and effectively damage them. The main challenge is getting your hands to do it. You get up to 4 different weapons through the game that favor different fighting styles and you can quickly switch weapons to vary within a fight.

The puzzles aren't very challenging (most are clearly not intended to be), but they do serve to tell the story and highlight specific elements. The disk puzzles reveal Raji's past memories. There cursed tree rotating puzzles symbolize dispelling the evil. They're another way of using traditional art styles to bring the tale to life.

There are also platform challenges where you put your acrobatics (and maneuvering abilities) to the test. Again these aren't particularly hard if you're competent but I personally fail and die frequently doing them and it's just one click below being frustrating for me. I know I CAN do them, I just have to not get turned around.

They're are easy, normal, and hard game settings on Switch, plus story mode (no combat) and one hit kill modes on different platforms so you can really set your experience. It's about 10-12 hours of game play, so long enough to really get into it, but short enough that it won't consume your life. There really isn't any filler. It's a mostly railroaded story with locked perspective telling a specific series of events. It's meant to feel like you're at the feet of a master storyteller telling a well known epic. But that's brought alive with the technology of videogames in a wonderful way.

Do note that you NEED a controller to play this game. The mouse and keyboard controls are much harder and clearly secondary. The controller has aim assist and the mouse and keyboard don't (but it's almost harder to aim manually on the mouse and keyboard). The attacks don't have a good hand feel on mouse and keyboard but a great feel on the controller. I actually bought a controller for my desktop to play it. I'm playing it again on the Switch now and it feels better. Playing it on a TV also really helps you feel the sheer scale of the architecture.

The soundtrack is really cool and never gets old. It really captures the meditative feeling of exploration or the intensity of battle using traditional Indian styles and instruments.

It's currently 66% off on Steam until August 10 for $8.49. Normally $24.99 on all platforms. There's also a demo that lets you play the first level. WELL worth the money.

This is a wonderful indie game with a lot of heart and it's incredibly refreshing to see fantasy that isn't European at all. It's very firmly an Indian story about Indian mythology told using Indian story telling arts reimagined for a more interactive medium. Still hoping one day we get a sequel the door was left open for.

Bisarjan (immersion) ,1989

Bikash Bhattacharjee

Bisarjan (immersion) is a hindu ritual where the idols of the Gods are plunged in water bodies after festivals dedicated to worship them is over.

Among the bengali hindus the greatest religious festival is the Durga puja where goddess durga (an abatar of cosmic power or shakti ) is worshipped for 5days at the beginning of the autumn . On dashami the rituals of the 5days long worship ends with the idols being submerged in a river or nearby water body . Giving a endearing twist to the eternal story of Gods rescuing mankind from the arch evil , the bengali Hindus also views Goddess Durga as their own daughter who comes to spend five days in her maternal house and leaves for the Himalayas (her husband's home) on the day of Dashami. In bengali psyche and imagination the cosmic omnipotent Goddess is therefore often inseparable from the mortal daughters of the land suffering the usual plights of a daughter , mother and wife . This is one of the finest example of seeing the divine in mundane and vice versa .

Bikash Bhattacharjee's celebrates this spirit with a series of uncanny , surreal paintings collectively called 'Durga' where Durga is everywhere , in every woman , from holy pedestal to unholy brothels . In this painting we see the half submerged body (or corpse) of a woman whose divinity is apparent only through her third eye smeared in vermilion .

Difference between Chaitra Navratri and Sharad Navratri

Reading time- 5 mins

India, a land of diverse cultures and traditions, celebrates Navratri not once, but twice a year with great enthusiasm and devotion. Navratri, meaning 'nine nights,' is a Hindu festival dedicated to Goddess Durga and her various forms. These two celebrations, Chaitra Navratri and Sharad Navratri, hold unique significance and are observed at different times of the year. In this blog, we'll explore why Navratri is celebrated twice in India and delve into the captivating mythological stories behind the divine forms of Maa Durga.

Chaitra Navratri: Welcoming Spring

Chaitra Navratri falls in the Chaitra month of the Hindu calendar, typically in March or April. This festival marks the beginning of spring when nature awakens, and new life blossoms. During these nine days, devotees pay homage to Goddess Durga and seek her blessings for prosperity and good fortune.

Chaitra Navratri is believed to commemorate the day when Lord Rama, accompanied by his brother Lakshmana and devotee Hanuman, worshiped Goddess Durga to seek her blessings before embarking on his epic journey to rescue his wife, Sita, from the demon king Ravana. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil and the triumph of righteousness. The culmination of Chaitra Navratri is celebrated as Ram Navami.

Sharad Navratri: Celebration of the Harvest

Sharad Navratri, also known as Maha Navratri, is the more widely celebrated of the two. It falls in the lunar month of Ashwin, usually in September or October when the monsoon season ends and the country gears up for the harvest season. This grand festival celebrates the divine feminine and the goddess's prowess in defeating the buffalo demon, Mahishasura.

According to Hindu mythology, Mahishasura was a formidable demon who terrorized the gods. He received a boon from Lord Agni, according to which a woman would only kill him. Unable to defeat him, the gods created Goddess Durga, a symbol of ultimate feminine power. Durga fought Mahishasura for nine days and nights, ultimately slaying him on the tenth day, known as Vijayadashami or Dussehra. Sharad Navratri symbolizes the victory of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and light over darkness. It is the ultimate celebration of divine female energies.

Young girls all over India are worshipped as devotees who believe that the Devi resides in little girls.

Maa Durga is depicted in 9 various forms, each with its own significance and attributes, to defeat the shape-shifting demon: Mahishasura. During Navratri, these forms are celebrated on specific days, known as 'Navadurga.' Let's explore some of the most renowned forms:

Shailaputri: The first form of Durga, she is the daughter of the Himalayas and represents the purity and innocence of nature.

Brahmacharini: She symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge and is often depicted holding a rosary and a water pot.

Chandraghanta: This form represents bravery and courage, as she adorns a crescent moon-shaped ornament on her forehead.

Kushmanda: The creator of the universe, Kushmanda signifies the source of all energy and vitality.

Skandamata: As the mother of Lord Kartikeya, she stands for the power of a mother's love and protection.

Katyayani: This fierce form of Durga is worshiped for her ability to destroy evil forces and protect her devotees.

Kalratri: Depicting the dark side of life, she is a symbol of destruction and liberation from ignorance.

Mahagauri: This form represents purity and is often depicted in white attire, symbolizing peace and serenity.

Siddhidatri: The final form of Durga, Siddhidatri is believed to grant devotees spiritual powers and enlightenment.

Navratri is a spiritually enriching festival that honors the divine feminine. Whether it's the arrival of spring during Chaitra Navratri or the harvest season of Sharad Navratri, both celebrations remind us of the importance of faith, perseverance, and the victory of good over evil. The diverse forms of Maa Durga teach us valuable life lessons and inspire us to live virtuously.

Gujratis celebrate Navratri through vibrant Garba and Dandiya Raas dances, while in Bengal, this festival is celebrated as Durga Puja, which involves worshiping the goddess Durga with grand processions and cultural events. So, they celebrate Navratri, but how it's celebrated varies.

This Navaratri, bring home the divine presence of Goddess Durga with the Navaratri-Durga Puja Kit from Prabhu Shriram- Incense with a Story.

Nothing's set in stone. To fates unknown. The Sparcs are a Supernatural Special Victims Unit; think ‘What if the Big Bad Wolf arrested Ted Bundy?’ One predator in human skin locks up another, policing the Hollow Hills, an Underground Railroad for Monsters on the run. There are two kinds of Vampires for each hemisphere, Western and Eastern. Western Bat Vamps, Undead Airborne, loathe and abhor the Sun; Living Earthbound, Snakes of the East, bask in Sunlight along River veins. Whereas Bat Vamps are embodiments of toxic masculinity, Snake Vamps are Demonizations of feminism - 'What knight of Valor would rescue a Dragon Lady in distress?

Raji:An Ancient Epic Review

1. Introduction

Game Title: Raji: An Ancient Epic Release Date: October 16, 2020 Genre: Isometric Linear Fantasy Action-Adventure Playtime: 5-6 hours

Overview: Raji: An Ancient Epic is a linear level-based action-adventure game set in the mythical world of ancient Indian mythology. Combining isometric hack-and-slash combat and platforming elements, players take on the role of Raji, a young woman from ancient India, on a journey to rescue her brother from demons.

2. Gameplay

Core Mechanics:

Platforming and Parkour: About 50% of Raji: An Ancient Epic revolves around platforming and parkour mechanics. This section feels closer to a 3D platforming version of Prince of Persia®: The Sands of Time rather than something like Celeste. Players must guide Raji as she leaps between cliffs, climbs pillars, jumps across them, scales ledges, runs along walls, and even performs wall jumps. The overall motion feels fluid and engaging.

Isometric Hack-and-Slash Combat: Raji wields a trident, bow, and sword-and-shield, each of which can be infused with one of three elemental powers: lightning, fire, and ice. Rather than actively casting spells, the game ties magical effects to weapons. Players allocate skill points to specific weapon-magic combinations, which then trigger their effects randomly during combat, adding unpredictability to encounters.

Mini-Puzzles: The game introduces two types of mini-puzzles: rotating a three-tiered tree trunk adorned with sinister faces to align them correctly and aligning intricate mandala patterns. These puzzles are straightforward, offering a relaxed and enjoyable break from other gameplay elements.

Objectives and Goals: The game follows a linear, single-path level design with six chapters and no side quests. The player's primary objective is to help Raji rescue her brother Golu, who has been abducted by the demon Mahabalasura. Along the way, Raji traverses diverse environments, solves puzzles, and ultimately faces off against bosses.

Progression and Rewards: By exploring hidden areas, players can collect Favor Orbs to enhance the branch skills of the three elemental powers: lightning, fire, and ice. Each power has three branch skills, with each skill upgradeable up to three times. Higher skill levels increase the likelihood of triggering their effects.

Innovative Features: The game uses Tholpavakoothu (traditional Indian shadow puppetry) animations for storytelling, narrated by the gods Durga and Vishnu. This unique presentation method is particularly memorable and adds a layer of cultural richness to the narrative.

3. Story and Worldbuilding

Story Synopsis: The story follows Raji as she embarks on an epic journey to rescue her brother Golu, who has been abducted by demons. Guided by the goddess Durga and the deity Vishnu, who provide her with divine weapons, Raji ultimately confronts the demon lord Mahabalasura in a climactic battle.

Characters and Narrative Depth: Raji is the central character, supported by other significant figures such as Golu, Mahabalasura, Durga, and Vishnu. While the plot highlights Raji's love for her brother and the gods' admiration for her bravery, character development feels somewhat shallow, and the tragic ending may leave players feeling unsatisfied.

Worldbuilding: The game is set in a mythical ancient Indian world, taking players through richly detailed locations such as temple ruins, The Fortress of Jaidhar, Hiranya Nagari, and the Land of the Mystics. Through murals and narration, players gain deeper insight into Indian mythology, immersing them in this unique and mysterious setting.

4. Art Style

Visual Style: The game presents two distinct visual approaches: whimsical, fairy-tale-inspired art for regular gameplay, infused with Indian cultural motifs, and Tholpavakoothu shadow-puppetry animations for key story moments, creating a striking contrast.

Consistency in Design: From environments to character designs, the art direction maintains a cohesive Indian aesthetic, faithfully recreating the artistic essence of ancient India.

Attention to Detail: For a mid-tier indie game, Raji: An Ancient Epic delivers exceptional detail in its environments. From temple ruins adorned with sculptures to the lotus-filled waters of Hiranya Nagari and the massive gears in the background, every element enhances the immersion and realism of the world.

Visual Impact: The game's environments are breathtakingly grand, with occasional wide shots emphasizing Raji's smallness. Each chapter introduces fresh and unique visuals, leaving a lasting impression.

5. Graphics and Sound

Graphics: The environment models are detailed, and the isometric perspective cleverly masks any lack of high-resolution textures. However, character and enemy models appear somewhat simplistic compared to the stunning backdrops.

Sound Design and Music: The background score is rich with Indian influences, leaving a lasting impression. However, the sound effects for attacks and enemy hits feel underwhelming, which slightly diminishes the combat experience.

Technical Issues: Although the game supports ray tracing, the difference in visual quality with it enabled is not very noticeable.

6. Controls and UI

Ease of Controls: Platforming and combat controls demand precise timing, as any deviation can lead to failure. For instance, heavy attacks in combat cannot be canceled, leaving Raji vulnerable to interruptions.

UI Design: The UI focuses on immersion but sacrifices practicality. For example, Raji's health is displayed as petals around her character, which can be hard to track during intense combat. Similarly, the skill gauge indicators are not intuitive enough.

7. Difficulty and Challenge

Difficulty Level: While platforming sections are moderately challenging, combat is noticeably harder due to high enemy attack frequency and overwhelming numbers, leaving little room for respite.

Challenge Factor: With a variety of enemy types and attack patterns, the game offers ample challenges for players who enjoy tougher gameplay.

Learning Curve: The first chapter provides a thorough tutorial, making the game mechanics easy to grasp.

8. Innovations and Drawbacks

Innovative Elements: The game modernizes classic gameplay elements from Prince of Persia®: The Sands of Time while using Indian Tholpavakoothu animation to narrate key story moments, offering a refreshing twist.

Drawbacks: Combat feels lackluster, and controller support is suboptimal. The flying disc weapon, Chakra, is almost unusable with a controller.

9. Conclusion and Rating

Overall Verdict: Raji: An Ancient Epic is a visually stunning and culturally distinctive isometric linear action game with subpar combat mechanics. If you can overlook its shortcomings in combat, the game's detailed environments and unique Indian mythology-inspired style promise an unforgettable adventure.

Recommendation: Ideal for players seeking a visually refreshing experience, interested in exotic themes, and preferring linear adventure games. For the best experience, opt for the story mode if you prioritize visuals over gameplay depth.

Rating: 6/10

How Tea is Woven into India’s Festive Celebrations

India's festive season is a celebration of colours, rituals, and togetherness. Central to these gatherings, tea has always played a pivotal role, symbolising hospitality, warmth, and shared moments. Whether it’s a family reunion, a religious festival, or a community celebration, tea connects people across the country. In this blog, we explore how tea, especially from the Darjeeling Tea Estate, enhances the joy of Indian festivities.

Tea and Festivals: A Cultural Connection

Tea is deeply embedded in Indian culture, especially during the festive season. From serving guests during Diwali to relaxing with family during Durga Puja, tea is an integral part of celebrations.

Festivals in North India like Diwali, Holi, and Lohri see the preparation of various sweets and snacks, often accompanied by cups of Darjeeling black tea or Assam Tea.

In the East, during Durga Puja or Bihu, a pot of organic herbal tea or green tea detox serves as a soothing balance to the rich festive foods.

Tea is more than just a beverage; it is woven into the cultural fabric, representing comfort, relaxation, and connection.

Darjeeling: The Heart of Festive Tea

Known as the "Champagne of Teas," Darjeeling Tea Estate produces some of the world's best Darjeeling tea, which is prized for its unique flavour and aroma. This high-altitude region offers a selection of Darjeeling black tea, Darjeeling white tea, and organic green tea that elevate any celebration.

Whether it's the earthy flavour of Darjeeling black tea or the lighter green tea benefits, this region’s tea is essential in India's festive celebrations.

Relaxing During Festivities: The Role of Tea

While Indian festivals are full of joy and celebration, they can also be overwhelming. After long days of cooking, cleaning, and hosting, winding down with teas for relaxation or stress relief tea becomes crucial.

Best calming tea varieties like lavender tea, Valerian root sleep tea, and chamomile tea are popular choices to help unwind.

Teas for stress such as herbal tea benefit from ingredients like rose tea, turmeric tea, and tulsi tea offer natural remedies to alleviate stress after a hectic day of celebrations.

Tea not only refreshes but also helps relax and rejuvenate, making it a staple in both pre- and post-festive rituals.

Digestive Aid: The Power of Tea Post-Festivity Feasts

Indian festivals are synonymous with indulgence in rich, hearty foods. Post-festivity bloating or digestive discomfort is common, and here, green tea digestion or tea for digestion comes to the rescue.

Buy digestive tea like ginger tea, matcha tea, or tulsi tea to aid digestion after a heavy festive meal.

Green tea detox or best detox tea from estates like Luxmi Estates helps in flushing out toxins and balancing digestion after indulgence.

Traditional spices found in Indian spice tea, such as turmeric tea, ginger tea, and hibiscus tea, are effective in promoting digestive health, making them a popular choice during festive seasons.

Tea for Gifting: A Thoughtful Gesture During Festivities

Tea, especially luxury teas from estates like Luxmi, has become a sophisticated gift option during the festive season. Gifting the best Darjeeling tea or buying organic tea is a gesture of warmth and sophistication.

Festive gift hampers often include a range of green tea, buy black tea, and buy white tea to cater to different tastes.

Specialty teas like Earl Grey tea, organic black tea, and best chamomile tea are increasingly popular choices for festive gifting.

Tea gifts are not only thoughtful but also promote health and wellness, adding a unique, personal touch to festive celebrations.

Tea Ceremonies and Rituals: Celebrating with Luxmi Estates

During India’s festivals, tea is often served as part of specific rituals or ceremonies. Luxmi Estates, with its long-standing tradition of producing premium teas, is often at the heart of these ceremonies.

Assam tea bags or buy loose leaf tea are commonly served to guests during festivals like Holi and Diwali.

Offering cups of organic green tea from Luxmi Estates during religious rituals has become a part of the tradition in some regions, symbolising purity and prosperity.

The rich history and quality of Luxmi Estates make their teas a perfect choice for integrating into these ancient rituals.

Health Benefits of Tea During Festivals

Amid the indulgence of sweets and savoury dishes, tea stands as a beacon of health. Many families turn to teas that offer specific health benefits during and after festivals.

Black tea benefits include antioxidants that aid in recovery after long festive days.

Green tea benefits are widely known, promoting metabolism and detoxification during indulgent feasts.

Herbal tea benefits with ingredients like matcha powder, rose tea, and lavender tea offer natural remedies to support immune health, detox, and relaxation during the festival season.

Title: Vijaya Dashami: Celebrating Triumph of Good Over Evil

Introduction: Vijaya Dashami, also known as Dussehra, is a significant Hindu festival celebrated with immense fervor and enthusiasm throughout India and other parts of the world. This vibrant festival marks the triumph of good over evil and has a rich cultural and historical significance. In this blog, we will explore the essence of Vijaya Dashami, its traditions, and the stories that make it a captivating celebration.

The Legend of Vijaya Dashami: Vijaya Dashami primarily commemorates the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana. According to the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana, Ravana had kidnapped Rama's wife, Sita, and to rescue her, Rama waged a battle against Ravana. After a fierce confrontation, Rama eventually vanquished the ten-headed demon, symbolizing the victory of righteousness over evil. This narrative serves as a cornerstone of the festival's significance.

Traditions and Celebrations:

Ramlila: One of the most popular customs during Dussehra is the enactment of the Ramayana, known as Ramlila. It's a series of dramatic performances that narrate the story of Lord Rama, Sita, and Ravana. These performances are held in various parts of the country and often culminate on the day of Vijaya Dashami.

Effigy Burning: On Vijaya Dashami, effigies of Ravana, his brother Kumbhakarna, and son Meghnad are set on fire in many places. This symbolic act represents the destruction of evil forces and the ultimate victory of good.

Apta Tree Worship: In some regions, people worship the Apta tree (Banyan tree) on Vijaya Dashami. It's believed that Lord Rama took shelter under this tree during his exile, and thus it holds a special significance.

Durga Puja: In West Bengal and some other parts of India, Vijaya Dashami coincides with the conclusion of Durga Puja. The festival marks the goddess Durga's victory over the buffalo demon Mahishasura.

Exchange of Apta Leaves: In some areas, people exchange Apta leaves as a symbol of blessings and good wishes on Vijaya Dashami.

Cultural Significance: Vijaya Dashami is not only a religious celebration but also a time for social gatherings and cultural events. It brings communities together, reinforcing the idea of unity and righteousness. The festival underlines the importance of truth, justice, and the victory of good values over evil temptations, making it a celebration of moral strength.

Conclusion: Vijaya Dashami, the festival of victory, is a time for reflection, celebration, and the reaffirmation of our commitment to virtuous living. It teaches us that no matter how formidable the challenges, good will always prevail over evil. As the effigies of Ravana are set ablaze, we are reminded of the eternal message of this festival – the victory of righteousness, the triumph of light over darkness, and the ultimate win of good over evil. It's a celebration that encapsulates the very essence of the human spirit and the eternal quest for truth and justice.
