Wordless Wednesday is supposed to be about posting a photo(s) without any words. But, I'm a rule breaker, so here are a few words:
1 - These are pictures from a Hare Krishna parade in Auckland, New Zealand a few years ago.
2 - I love the bright colors of the women's saris.
3 - I've eaten at a Hare Krishna restaurant before. Delicious vegetarian food.
What words does this picture bring to your mind when you look at it?

Thanks for stopping by our blog - we love it when people come visit! We're also on Facebook - pop by and say hi!
Colorful!
ReplyDeleteAnd didn't know they were vegetarian, but it makes sense.
Their food was so delicious that I don't think you'd notice that there wasn't any meat.
DeleteI love the bright colors!
ReplyDeleteI know - they're pretty :-)
DeleteIn St. Louis there is a Harry Krishna restaurant that we would go to occasionally. The food was free and served cafeteria style. You were supposed to go to the religious service before you got the food, but we would always show up late after the service in time for the food. They were a friendly bunch. There was one Krishna who was always telling jokes - we nicknamed him Henny Krishna. One time we went to a Krishna wedding. The place was packed with Krishnas - we were probably the only "civilians" aside from the parents of the bride and groom who looked very very unhappy. Afterwards we sat on the floor in long rows and ate. They just kept on coming by and filling up our plates. It was quite an experience.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so cool to have gone to a Hare Krishna wedding!
DeleteI did not know they were vegetarian either and I have never seen a Krishna restaurant but now I am curious.
ReplyDeleteCheck to see if there's one near where you currently are. Being a veggie, you might really like it.
DeleteWay cool. I would love to see that wedding that Duwan talked about. Cool.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ☺
I would have liked to have seen it too.
DeleteI LOVE those shots. The color gets me too. I could never wear things like that, but I think they're so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way - I couldn't wear a sari myself but think they're gorgeous.
DeleteSuch beautiful fabrics, I wish I had some to decorate the boat with!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good idea. I think it would look neat to have throw pillows made out of some of that fabric.
DeleteBeautiful photos. And now the soundtrack from HAIR will be in my head all day.
ReplyDeleteAnd now the soundtrack from Hair is in my head :-)
DeleteDefinitely like the vibrant colours. That's the first thing I thought too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by Nick :-)
DeleteGreat shots. I thought Hare Krishna men had no hair. I truly don't know anything about Hare Krishnas, so I wish Wordless Wedensdays allowed you a few more words... :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't really know anything about them either. Sounds like something I can ask Mr Google later today when I want to avoid items on my To Do list :-)
DeleteLovely! Good to see a glimpse of India here. And I love wearing Sarees. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Parul! Saris look so comfortable to wear.
DeleteI agree... the colors are so vibrant!
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of Hare Krishna I think of peace :)
They always seemed so happy too when they were out and about in Auckland.
DeleteHappiness in colors! Which we need today, as we ride out a wicked nor'easter at anchor behind Assateague Island, south of Ocean City MD. Pretty awful, actually.
ReplyDeleteYou poor guys. And now with Matthew on his way north :-(
DeleteThe movie "Airplane". :-)
ReplyDeleteStephanie @ SV CAMBRIA
You made me laugh out loud. I had forgotten about that!
