Beautiful India Women!
This is a day that the women of India fast for the whole day; take no water or any drink. They do this for the wishing of long life and health for their husbands. They dress in their finest clothes and jewelry. They are truly beautiful. There is a ceremony in the evening where the ladies come together and give an offering to their mother in law of fruit or money or some small thing like that. These offerings are taken to the temple and left for the priest to pick up. 
When the moon comes up, which it did in Dehradun at about 8pm, the woman has to look at the moon, then look at their husbands through a sieve, then touch his feet in love. He then gives them some water and food to drink and cuddle time begins ! It is really a very sweet custom that occurs every year at this time.
I was invited to Manju’s house to celebrate the evening with her. Check out the lovely, lovely dresses they are wearing!
