Mason Jar Candle Holder

Mason Jar Candle Holder - DIY

Simple DIY candle holder that can add dramatic shades to your hall.
You need a empty glass jar, some glue(fevicol), some glitter and satin ribbon.

I have used an empty jam jar as it is easy to peel of its label.
Draw any shapes of your choice on the outer surface of jar using a sketch pen. Apply glue on the inside of the drawn outline of shapes and sprinkle the glitter over it. Gently shake excess glitter and let the jar dry. Decorate with satin ribbon and add a candle of your choice inside the jar.

With the glitter it gets quite messy around, so make sure you use some old newspapers as your base work area.

Day trip from Bangalore to Avani

Avani is small village in Kolar district around 95 kms from Bangalore. We did day trip from Bangalore to Kotilingeshwara and from there to Avani twice and each time I fell in love with this place. Avani has Ramlingeshwara temple complex which is of archaeological and mythological importance. As per mythology this place is birth place of Luv-Kush. Though I have heard of two more places around India with similar references to Sita's stay in Valmiki Ashram and birth of Luv-Kush. Avani temple complex has temples dedicated to Ram, Sita, Lakshman, Bharat, Shatrughna and even to Vali and Sugriv. One can also visit the small hill next to temple complex which is said to have temple dedicated to Sita, though both the times we could not make it to top of hill due to various reasons.
