Pictures of my mum for reclaimthebindi week because it’s from her that I learnt my culture and learnt how to love it and be proud of it. It wasn’t easy leaving behind her entire family at such a young age to go stay in a completely new place with people she didn’t even know. But she did it, and she did it wonderfully. Our mothers really show the strength of desi women in their everyday lives and we need to respect them with everything we have. If we’re even half as brave as they are, we’ll be so lucky.

Hot take: I don't care if someone "contributes to society" or not. They are a person and still deserve human rights, food, and shelter.

Pair of Deity Earrings with Vishnu on Garuda (front) and chepu (monster mask) (back), Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, 1600s or 1700s. Cleveland Museum of Art (ID: 1915.338). A green Vishnu with four arms, each holding his attributes of discus (his upper right hand), mace (upper left), lotus (lower right), and conch (in pearl, lower left) rides on a coral Garuda with lapis wings, arms outstretched. The blue figures on either side are probably celestial beings praising him in dance postures, with one leg crossed over the other. On the back sides, delicate filigree floral scrolls form the backdrop of a protective mask popular in the Nepal; a sun over a crescent moon are inlaid above his head. (Cleveland Museum of Art)
