In deewano ki mohabbat se door raho bhole ke nashe mai choor raho-Translation-stay away from the love of these men,be intoxicated in Shiva's name
Your post opened my third eye, which is why you are now a pile of ash
I've been to a several temples in a lot of different states and let me tell you, the pictures are only a fragment of how awesome the actual architecture is
How lucky must be the stones which became the vessel of the stories of Gods... ferrying the tales through the river of time?

Being soft and strong at the same time should never be considered as a bad thing.
Don’t forget the times when the Hindu goddess, Parvati, the goddess of love, beauty and harmony embodied the forms of Durga, the warrior and protector goddess or Kali, the creator and destroyer goddess.
If that doesn’t show real strength, idk what does.

Was gonna post a crazy dream I had, but I forgot it, so instead, have this picture of an owl I painted.
*Krishna, Arjun and Draupadi are on a secret mission*
Draupadi: Um-
Arjun: Shh!
Draupadi:
Draupadi: *turns to Krishna* He just shushed me!
Krishna: *calmly* Krishnaa, look. You just gotta be a little bit more un-
Arjun: Shh!
Krishna:
Draupadi: ☠️
Krishna: Don't you shush me!
Sahadev *to Bhima* : You know what I always wondered?
Bhim *semi asleep* : Huh?
Sahadev: How do giants like you sleep when the blanket can barely cover you from your shoulders to your toes?
Bhim: Sahadev, it's barely the muhurtta to be up, what the fuck-
Sahadev: So you can't sleep, huh?
Sahadev: Is it because of the blanket?
Bonus:
Bhim: *gets caught trying to murder Sahadev by smothering him*
Hera: Wait, so you're also the most iconic wife and mother in your religion, had a kid on your own, saw it was disabled, and still loved it anyway?!?
Parvati, holding Ganesha: What, like it's hard?

The fact that I actually changed Quetz's hair specifically for this one piece 😂 Used to be these two/three feathers in the round feather shape just sprouting from his head but I was like "Nah this boi is going dripped out for his date" So I changed it and I imagine him going
"MY HAIR LOOKS STUPID"
and Tez is like "Your hair always looks stupid! This is just less stupid!"
"...Was that a compliment???"
"Perhaps."
"shitshitshit is shesh going to like me with this hair"
"...I would say your hair is the least of your problems."
"SHIT"
"Holy fuck man, stop freaking out so much, I was kidding!!"
When you're preparing for a date and your brother is making you feel better and worse at the same time:
(little Quetzalcoatl doodle, the guy definitely has anxiety about dating and Tezcatlipoca is like "I'd like to apologize to anyone towards whom I acted like this on a first date, you're an embarrassment to the history of romance.")
THIS IS SO ACCURATE IT'S SCARY WTF
Also Tez Cmon man hype yo bro up
Later that night:
Shesh: *seeing Quetz*
Shesh, in his mind: VISHNU HELP WHY IS HE SO PRETTY WHY IS HE SUCH A HAIR ICON WHAT WH-
Vishnu, telepathically: Dude you're hyperventilating.
Shesh: WELL LOOK AT HIM???
Vishnu: Fax. That man is gorgeous.
...Kinda want to draw a comic on Sheshzalcoatl (Shesh x Quetzalcoatl), is anyone interested?
