Introduction
While spring is knocking its door here in Australia, the much-awaited festive season is springing up in India. It was in one such spring that 'Maya' was born- in concept, in principle and in practice. Here’s the brief background of ‘Maya’. It started with the initiative ‘Maya: Indian Women Through Indian arts”, followed by launching our brands Maya of Australia ® Organic Darjeeling tea (Pure and premium organic Darjeeling tea in Australia), Maya Indian ArtsTM (authentic Indian arts in Australia), Maya Creations TM (our selective range of art-themed gifts to suit every occasion) and Maya EmporiumTM – (an exclusive Darjeeling Tea and Indian art gallery in Australia).
Maya: Meaning
Maya Fest
Maya Fest is a celebration of Maya and we say,
“....Maya is not an illusion but...
...Strength, Character, Beauty, Courage, Karma and more.....”.
September to November is festive season in India. It is about colours, rituals, lights, energy and enthusiasm; time for biggest festivals of the year like Durga Puja/Navratri (celebration of the feminine power and victory of good over evil), Deepawali (festival of lights) and more. Close on its heels, we celebrate Christmas together both here in Australia and there.
Maya is an alternate name of Hindu goddess Durga- symbol of feminine power, multi-dimensional with many personas and facets.
