Diwali and Mr. X... © Champagne! Sparkling Couture New Release

On the first night of the new moon of Kartika Mr. X and I plan to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light.  Diwali marks the triumphant return of Sita and Rama to their northern home of Ayodhya.

Enzo of © Champagne! Sparkling Couture has made the perfect dress to fete this time of year, appropriately named, Diwali.  This ensemble was the gown MVW India 2014 wore.  You don't have to be a contestant to wear this glorious dress... that is sure to bring out your inner goddess.

 The four arms of Lakshmi, Goddess of wealth and prosperity represent the four directions.  Many celebrate Diwali believing that Sita is  an avatar of Lakshmi, both are known for their purity.  (No comments from the peanut gallery Mr. X). The details of this outfit with it's sacred lotus flowers and candles  that are lit during Diwali add authenticity to this fabulous outfit.

I love the jewel for my hair that comes with this dress along with the flaming halo much like  the one that Lord Shiva as Nataraja dances the universe into creation and destruction.
