aphorically, came alive the demonic battle in the spirit of the festival when the Indian community fought a case against the New Jersey Township Council. Still, the celebrations continued amidst the Dot Buster gang looking to terrorise the Indian community in NJ. Several restrictions were settled upon in 1997, when Indians won the case and the judge supported the constitutional rights of Navratri in the historical landmark ruling.

and the old women singing of Krishna
and the milkmaids,

for long red skirts, pulled back
permed hair in plaits…
Our hips
move like water to the drums.
Th in as Hibiscus petals, our skirts
swirl up as we swing and turn.”
