Randal Mataji‘a altar at a private ceremony by a family.
4/06/23
Nairobi
She washes my feet
She touches my feet
Symbolizing the Mother within me
The auspicious occasion of worship
As Randal Mataji pays visit in her household
They sat in a row all wearing red
The daughters in law of their family
Adorned in all their festive finery
The ladies all excited and so chirpy
Applying kumkum and akshat to those motherly
The Gujju traditional thanksgiving
Inviting Mother Goddess their Kul-devi
Kheer puri bhog given as prasad
A lota metallic with betel nuts offering
Traditions of yore preserve spiritual sanctity
