Karwa Chauth is a popular Hindu festival celebrated predominantly in Northern India, and this year the festival was celebrated across the world on November 4th. The festival is a celebration of marriage, during which the wife fasts for the day as prayer for a healthy and long life for her husband. According to Drik Panchang, Karwa Chauth takes place during the Hindu calendar month of Kartik in the Krishna Paksha Chaturthi phase. Karwa Chauth coincides with another important... festival, Sankashti Chaturthi, which is a fasting day in honour of Lord Ganesha. On Karwa Chauth women begin their fast from sunrise and don’t consume even a drop of water, let alone food, until they see the moon. The festival is celebrated differently across the states, but in popular culture and Bollywood we see the culture of women fasting through the day, dressing up and applying henna on their hands, then when the moon rises they see the moon through a sieve and then their husbands through it, then they are fed food and water by their husbands. However, in reality the traditions vary slightly, in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, women pass pots called karvas among themselves, seeing the reflection of the moon in the water or through a sieve, after this they offer water to the moon. The husband then gives water to his wife after which she breaks her fast and eats. In Andhra Pradesh the festival is celebrated as Atla Tadde, women dress up in traditional clothing, apply henna and sindhoor which symbolises their married status. In other parts of North India, women get together and listen to Karwa Chauth katha. Women observing this fast get together on this day and celebrate it by narrating a folk tale, reading Karwa Chauth Vrat Katha and singing folk songs-- all of which make it a lively festival. Women also worship Goddess Parvati in the Karwa Chauth puja followed by Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesh and Lord Kartikeya. Shown here is a 32 true bronze lost wax Parvati statue from India.

Happy Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos - the Mexican Day(s) of the Dead holiday celebrating friends and family that have passed. Mexico’s Days of the Dead start on the night of October 31st when the souls of children return to our realm while the following two days, All Saints and All Souls’ Day (Nov 1 and 2nd) are when the adult souls return and finally on the night of the second is when everyone gathers at the cemetery and have a feast. Elaborate altars called ofrendas are... put together in homes, churches and public squares. An ofrenda is an altar with a collection of objects placed on a ritual display during the annual and traditionally Mexican Día de Muertos celebration. An ofrenda, which may be quite large and elaborate, is usually created for an individual person who has died and is intended to welcome them to the altar setting. Their photo, favorite objects that they owned or treasured, drinks, flowers, papel picado, burning candles and copal incense and a lot of food!

Handmade Japanese Sake Sets. Kyoto, Japan. $20 and up. Did you know? Sake is called Nihonshu, which means the wine of Japan! We call sake sake and not saki! But in Japan, sake means all alcoholic beverage, so the real name for sake is nihonshu.... There are only 4 ingredients in sake: rice, water, mold and yeast! These few ingredients are responsible for so many complex flavors. Amazing! Sake is fermented not distilled! That’s why it is called a sake brewery, because sake is fermented like wine and beer. Sake has 1/3rd the acidity of wine! For those who easily get reflux, sake is a far friendlier libation! Sake has an alcohol content similar to that of wine! Zanzibar carries many sake and tea sets which are all hand crafted and fairly traded from Japan! Plus Japanese dishes, Zen Furin Bells, chopsticks, Maneki Neko cats and more! Imports from over 100 countries!
