Sturt’s Desert Pea is one of my favourite flowers and it has a lot of emotional connections for me. It is native to the arid regions of central and north-western Australia, and its range extends into all mainland Australian states with the exception of Victoria. It is one of Australia’s best known wildflowers. From Wikipedia: Swainsona formosa, Sturt’s desert pea, is an Australian plant in the genus Swainsona, named after English botanist Isaac Swainson, famous for its distinctive blood-red leaf-like flowers, each with a bulbous black centre, or “boss”. During Diwali, people wear their finest clothes, illuminate the interior and exterior of their homes with diyas and rangoli, perform worship ceremonies of Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and wealth, light fireworks, and partake in family feasts, where mithai (sweets) and gifts are shared. In the lead-up to Deepavali, celebrants prepare by cleaning, renovating, and decorating their homes and workplaces with diyas (oil lamps) and rangolis (colorful art circle patterns). One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual “victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance”. It is a major cultural event for the Hindu, Sikh, and Jain diaspora.
Originally a Hindu festival, Diwali has transcended religious lines and is also celebrated by Jains and Sikhs. The festival usually lasts five days, or six in some regions of India, and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika (between mid-October and mid-November). When you learn what is being honored in this important festival of lights holiday - it “transcends religious lines” - it sure seems like we all could use a little Diwali in our lives:ĭiwali is a Hindu religious festival of lights and is one of the most important festivals within Hinduism. Recognizing all our tangling friends and CZTs in India the Far East and around the world, today we celebrate the first day of the Diwali festival for 2022. Lovely to see you again for another week of creative inspiration 🙂
