"इस दिल के कागज पे,
ख्वाबों के रंगो से,
छलकी जो तस्वीर है |
उस सपनों के दर्पण पे,
पलकों की चिलमन से
मेरे मन में रहती है |
रंगत है वो, खूशबू हैं वो,
नगमा है वो, जादू है वो,
ना जाने कैसी पहेली है वो,
पर जैसी भी है मेरी मोहब्बत है वो |"

The Sawan month (July-August) was marked by complete devotion to Lord Shiva. This month was dedicated to Lord Shiva and also known as 'Shravan' and in the SINGH family, Women were observing fasts (Sawan Somvar Vrat) on Mondays.

During this time, on every monday or 'Somvar', all ladies of SINGH family visited the temple and offered flowers, milk, and holy water to Lord Shiva.

At this time, Adrija who was wearing a dark green Sharara dress, covering her head with the dupatta (stole) which had a mirror worked on it, was offering Jal (holy water) on the Shiva Linga (The Symbol of Shiva). Her eyes were closed, lips were painted in nude shades of lipstick and face was donned with light natural make-up.

Her mouth was chanting 'Om Namah Shivaya' , 'Om Namah Shivaya' (I Bow down to Shiva) mantra back to back.

Her wrists were full of green glass bangles and designs of henna that left a dark colour on her palm was beautifully decorated and caught the attention of other women.

Watching her daughter on a complete fast of 'No food and No water' and also devoting to the Lord Shiva, filled Adrija's mother's eyes, "Hai Sambhu Nath ! Meri Addoo par apni kripa hamesha banaye rakhna"

(Oh Lord Shiva ! Please always shower your blessings on my daughter Adrija)

Adrija's second aunt heard it and smiled while looking at Adrija and said confidently, "Didi ! Ap kyun pareshan hoti hai. Hamari Addoo ko Shiv Ji ke jaisa hi jeevansathi milega"

(Sister ! Don't think too much. Our daughter Adrija will get a husband like Lord Shiva)

Finally, after listening to sweet words from her Co- sister , Adrija's mother beamed and said happily, "Tumhare muh me ghee sakkar"

(Sweets in your mouth)

Both Co-sisters , Mother and second aunt of Adrija said in unison happily, "Har har Mahadev" , "Har har Mahadev"
(Everywhere Shiva)

Across the long hall, a youth skipped his footsteps happily while humming a song.
