The idol arriving. The smell of modaks. Grandparents fussing over where the murti should sit.

Priyali of Craft With Me PDX guides them through it while they make it entirely their own. Some will go traditional saffron and gold. Some will use every color at once. All of them will be proud of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTwo hours to paint, to run around while it dries, to come back and add one more rhinestone because it needs one more rhinestone.
