Pournami Mahaarti



The night was made only because of Them.

This moon filled up just for Them.

She closed her doors to be pampered and adorned

Lavishly, elegantly, bathed in butter,

Turmeric, sandalwood smoothed her skin,

Her Glory magnified a thousand folds

As Kumkum draped her simple form.


Dainty, beautiful, graceful, temple dancers

Expressed Her Grace to the impatient mortals

Drums pounded like they were Her anxious heart

Anxious to step out and meet Her love.


Oh! She steps out and how!!

Grandeur and simplicity come together

Her abode sparkles with an endless rain of lamps

The stars abandon the moon to twinkle in her hands.

The moon, intoxicated,... shimmering with a honeyed glow

Radiates love, brightly right outside her door

Mashaal-bearers, flag-bearers, trumpeters...

Drummers and swordsmen to slay whoever may come near.

Her obedient Bhairagini, gently fanning her.

lovingly looking at her...

She proceeds in a subliminal procession

Amidst moist eyes awaiting the Divine Union / Darshan

She stands tall in front of Him

Stirring every fancy and whim

Shaking every atom without and within

She returns, and the wait anon begins...
