Out and About: At the Festival of India...

Hello and welcome back! 

Today I am sharing with you a festival I attended recently! It was the Festival of India! 

It was held in downtown Matthews, and it was a blast! I am so glad I was able to make it! When I arrived it was in the afternoon and there was already a sizable crowd gathered. Right away, I felt immersed in the culture. 

There was Indian music blasting, dancers performing on stage, delicious smells from the food vendors, and beautiful/colorful sarees everywhere I looked!

It was a little hard to decide where to begin first, so I just headed to see the performers first and then meandered around the various vendors set up. 

There were tons! 

One in particular was a Henna tattoo table set up, I really wanted to get one! Unfortunately, time did not permit, but they were gorgeous designs! And reasonable in price (roughly $3 to $12). 

I also really enjoyed looking at the artwork on display. Much like the clothing, the artwork was full of color and featured many deities and animals. I saw several paintings of peacocks, which happen to be one of my favorite animal. After a little research I found that in Indian culture, peacocks symbolize 'wealth and grandeur.' In Hinduism, they also represent immortality and ressurection.

Other vendors featured saree draping and turban wrapping, which I got to watch a bit of. 

There were also different tables set up selling jewelry and clothing, all of which were beautifully made and full of bright colors and designs! 

And the last thing I checked out was the food vendors! I LOVE Indian food! It is so incredibly flavorful! And unique flavors at that! I got the tandoori chicken -after much deliberation- I cannot even put into words how good it was! It was spicy but not too spicy, it had a curry flavor that I personally love, and it came with some kind of sauce, that also had a bit of a kick to it! 

I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the Festival of India! And I cannot wait to go back next year! 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post as well! 

See you Friday! =D
