Salut!
Yep, my wife, Donna, is the Emilda Marcos of reading glasses. This isn't the entire collection, by the way! Thought that the shadows made the shot more interesting.

Kumbh Mela, the largest spiritual gathering of mankind on the Earth, is held every 12 years on the banks of the 'Sangam'- the confluence of the holy rivers Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati. Millions of devotees take a holy dip in the sacred water during the mela. Maha Kumbha Mela held only at Prayag, once in every 144 years.
It is believed that at the historic moment of the Maha Kumbh Mela, the river turns itself into sanctity spots filled with ‘Amrita’ (Panacia or elixir of immortality). The pilgrims get once in a lifetime chance to bathe in the spirit of holiness, auspiciousness and salvation.
As mythology tells us, when Gods (Devtas) and Demons (Asura) used to reside on Earth, Gods were under the influence of a curse that gave birth of fear in them eventually making them weak. Brahma (the Creator) advised them to churn the milky ocean to obtain the elixir of immortality (Amrita). And Kumbh was the spot chosen to store the nectar of immortality recovered from Samudramanthan.
For 12 heavenly days and 12 heavenly nights, equivalent to 12 Earthly years, Gods were chased by Demons for the possession of Amrita. During the chase for the Amrita, few drops of this elixir out of its ‘Kumbha’ (Pot) fell on four places now known as Allahabad, Haridwar, Ujjain and Nasik. The whole Kumbha mela (carnival) and its cycle is a remembrance of that Mythological story. The mela takes place in all these four places. Out of these the one celebrated at the Holy Sangam in Allahabad is the largest and believed to be the holiest one. Thus the Kumbh Mela became one of the main festivals of Hindus as well as the largest spiritual gathering of mankind on Earth.

Following our alt build of set 70676 Lloyd’s Titan Mech, we decided to run it back, this time using set 10267 Gingerbread House. Typically, I like to create a finished product that can be viewed from all angles, but I learned to slightly deviate from that mindset this time round. With 1,477 parts at my disposal, I had a harder time thinking of how to maximize the available pieces. I started messing around with the reddish-brown, forming a nice studs down wooden chair. From there, I took advantage of the white plates and tiles to build a desk, and then constructed a wall section of masonry bricks for a more complete scene. The set contains small amounts of many different colors, which made for a colorful collection of books. The result is a cozy interior scene, my first creation at this larger scale. I’m most pleased with the desk drawers, the chair, and the camera.
