Princess Diana's Wedding Tiara - Spencer Tiara
Princess Diana chose to wear a tiara from her maiden family's collections, the Spencer Tiara, a heirloom of the Spencer family. The tiara is closely associated with Late Princess Diana even though it has been worn by a few Spencer ladies over time.
The Spencer tiara has beautiful curved floral motifs studded with diamonds. In contrast with normal Royal Tiaras the Spencer tiara is a combination of several elements. Two of the elements are said to have come from a tiara owned by Frances, Viscountess Montagu and left to Lady Sarah Spencer in 1875.
The central element was a wedding gift from Lady Sarah Spencer to Cynthia, Viscountess Althorp (Diana's grandmother) in 1919. In the 20th century, it was remounted and four other elements were made to match it.
Princess Diana wore the Spencer tiara to a lot of formal functions, parties & banquets, maybe because it is lighter in weight as compared to the Lover's Knot Tiara gifted to Princess Diana by the Queen Elizabeth.

Mahaveer Jayanti : Live & Let Live
Mahaveer Jayanti marks the birthday of Mahaveer, founder of the modern Jain religion and the last in the galaxy of 24 Teerthankaras. He was born on the 13th day of the rising moon of Chaitra, in either 599 BC or 615 BC .
About Jainism
The term Jain has been derived from Jina, which means The Conqueror, of Self. Jainism rests on the three-fold path of right conduct, right faith and right knowledge. It does not believe in a single God who absolves the worshippers of their sins. It teaches the practitioners to take complete responsibility for their actions, thereby underlying the Karma theory. It teaches the followers to live a very austere life, in an attempt to clear their debt to mankind and also attain the highest form of salvation.
The devout followers of this religion do not even harm a fly. Some followers cover their mouths with a tiny cloth, in order to avoid the slightest possibility of killing of germs during breathing. It was this doctrine of non-violence (Ahimsa) that was adopted and popularized by Mahatma Gandhi during the freedom struggle.
To liberate one's self, Mahaveer taught the necessity of right faith (samyak-darshana), right knowledge (samyak-gyana), and right conduct (samyak-charitra'). At the heart of right conduct for Jains lie the five great vows:
- Nonviolence (Ahimsa) - to cause no harm to any living being;
- Truthfulness (Satya) - to speak the truth only;
- Non-stealing (Asteya) - to take nothing not properly given;
- Chastity (Brahmacharya) - to indulge in no sensual pleasure;
- Non-possession/Non-attachment (Aparigraha) - to detach completely from people, places, and material things.
"Jiyo aur Jeene do" or Live & Let Live were the Golden Words of Mahaveer. Let us hope they last through the centuries & help humans build a peaceful world.

Beautiful Woman
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears
The figure that she carries
or
The way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole
but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
the passion that she shows,
and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
Have a beautiful women's day!
Wishes,

A Celebration of Women, Roop Chaudas/Kali Chaudas - The Legend
Roop Chaudas
Roop Chaudas is a festival associated with Diwali, which is celebrated a day before Diwali. Diwali is the Indian festival of Lights. In ‘Roop Chaudas’, Roop represents Beauty and Chaudas represents the date 14.On this day, women beautify themselves. Roop Chaudas pooja is performed mainly by women to gain beauty or to enhance their beauty.
On Roop Chaudas Hindus undertake beauty treatments so as to look their best on Diwali day. According to the legends, the demon Narakasura was also slain on this day by lord Krishna and Satyabhama. They fought very aggressively and beheaded the demon on this day. Narak Chaturdashi marks the destruction of evil in the world and arrival of new lights. So, the earthen lamps are kept burning for several days. Since the demon Narakasura was slain on this day, it is celebrated as Naraka Chaturdashi or Kali Chaturdashi. It falls on the fourteenth day (Chaudas) of the fortnight of the Krishna Paksha, in the Hindu month of Kartika. There are two independent significances of this day. One is that it is traditionally used to beautify oneself before the major part of the coming festivities. The other is that it was that, on this day, lord Krishna killed the demon, Narakasura.
Kali Chaudas
Kali means Dark (evil) and Chaudas - Fourteenth. Thus, celebrated 14th day of Ashwin, Kali Chaudas is the day allotted to the worship of Maha-Kali or Shakti and is believed that on this day Kali killed the wicked Raktavija. Also referred to as Narak-Chaturdashi, Kali Chaudas is day to abolish laziness and evil which create hell in our life and shine light on life. The strength to protect others is referred as Kali, and if its used for God's work it is called Mahakali.
Kali Chaudous is also attached to the legend of Lord Hanuman. Hanumanji as a baby was very hungry. Whilst lying down he saw the sun in the sky and thought it was a fruit and went to pick it. He flew into the sky and put the whole sun in his mouth causing darkness throughout the entire universe. Lord Indra requested that Hanumanji return the sun. When Hanumanji refused, Lord Indra unleashed his vajra and knocked Hanumanji down to earth releasing the Sun.
On this day we offer poojan to Hanumanji as our Kuldev to protect us from Evil. The poojan is performed with oil, flowers, chandan and sindur. Coconuts are also offered to Hanumanji and prashad of Sesame seed, ladoos and rice with ghee and sugar.
The rituals of Kali Choudas is strongly suggestive of the origin of Deepavaali as an harvest festival is performed. On this day delicacies are prepared from pounded semi-cooked rice (called Poha or Pova). This rice is taken from the fresh harvest available at that time. This custom is prevalent both in rural and urban areas especially in Western India.
On this day, a head wash and application of kajal in the eyes is believed to keep away the kali nazar (evil eye). Some say that those who are into tantra, learn their 'mantras' on this day. Alternatively, people offer Nived (food) to the goddess that is local to where they are originally from. This goddess is called their 'Kul Devi', in order to cast off evil spirits. Some families also offer food to their forefathers on this day. The second day of Diwali is known as Kali Choudas in Gujarat, Rajasthan & few part of Maharashtra. This reverence is called "Kali Chaudas or Kal Chaturdasi".
