  An Odia living in Manchester, UK ran the UK’s second largest Manchester Marathon 2023 wearing a Sambalpuri Saree ! While the gentlemen in the photo seem to be labouring hard, the Odiya lady is smiling so very confidently. Respectful salute Ma'am! As I say again and again- Women are not the Second but the Superior Sex.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Photo source: NDTV

 Do visit the Government Museum when you are in Chennai, Tamil Nadu India. It is a treasure house of art. Lord Kubera is the Hindu god of wealth and the god-king of the semi-divine Yakshas. He is regarded as the regent of the North (Dik-pala), and a protector of the world (Lokapala). Location of discovery and the period to which it belongs is not recorded prominently in the Museum. Lord Vishnu, discovered in Ponneri Taluk, Tiruvallyr District, Tamil Nadu, India; 9th century AD. In Hinduism, Lord Vishnu is known as "The Preserver" within the Trimurti, the triple deity of supreme divinity that includes Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva. In Vaishnav tradition of Hinduism, Vishnu is the supreme being who creates, protects and transforms the universe.
