Sarasvati
On Saturday the 4th of April the completion ceremony was held. It was a lovely afternoon, with speeches, performances, a chance to look at the finished work and refreshments. I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures on the blog, and if you want to see the real thing, the figures will be in St Fagans:National History Museum until September.
Y Dduwies Durga
Tomorrow (Saturday 4th April) is the closing ceremony, and the figures are almost done!

Once the base colours were applied, the detailed work began! While Purnendu worked on the eyes, Dibyendu began attaching some of the decorations brought with them from India around the outside, framing the Goddesses beautifully.
Gosod border disglair o amgylch y ddelw. Ystyrir y lliw coch i fod yn lwcus gan bobl India, ac mae gan rhai Duwiau a Duwiesau Hindŵaidd ddwylo coch i ddangos eu duwdod.

The artists had also brought with them a frieze they had made at home which surrounds Durga's head and torso. The frieze shows the stories from Durga and Shiva's life.

Y Dduwies Durga wedi seremoni paentio'r llygad. O'r pwynt hwn ymlaen mae'r Hindŵaid yn credu bod y ddelwedd yn bywiogi, ac fe addolir y Dduwies fel pe bai ganddi yr holl bwerau a roddodd y Duwiau iddi.
Today (April 1st) the painting of the eye ceremony was held at 2pm. Now the eyes of the Goddess Durga have been opened, she is enlivened and has the ability of sight.
The artists will only be here until Saturday when the closing ceremony will be held at 2pm. Please try and come and visit!
