ULTIMATE DECISION
LIES WITH PEOPLE: CEC
New Delhi: Against the
backdrop of allegations
by the opposition of ir-
regularities in the
counting of votes in the
Bihar Assembly polls,
Chief Election Com-
missioner (CEC) Sunil
Arora on Thursday said
while the Election Com-
mission does not react
to comments made by
political parties, the ul-
timate decision lies
with people.
He also said the Bihar
chief electoral officer
has already responded
to everything. The EC
had to hold four press
conferences on count-
ing day on November 10
to respond to various
aspects of the process,
Arora pointed out.
“We do not respond to
comments made by po-
litical entities. It is
their decision, what
they said, why they
said. The ultimate deci-
sion lies with people,”
he told reporters here.

AFTER POLL DEBACLE TEJASHWI
DEMANDS VOTES RECOUNTING
Patna: Speaking for the first time after the Bihar
election results, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on
Thursday demanded recounting of postal ballot
votes. Crying foul play in the counting process,
Yadav said the mandate of people was in favour of
the Grand Alliance but Election Commission’s result
was in NDA’s favour. “I thank Bihar’s people. The
mandate favoured Mahagathbandhan, but the Elec-
tion Commission’s result was in NDA’s favour. This
hasn’t happened first time. In 2015 when Maha-
gathbandhan was formed, votes were in our favour
but BJP made back door entry to gain power,” said
Yadav. Asked whether the Mahagathbandhan would
try to muster numbers to form its own government,
he said, “We will go to The people who gave the
mandate. If they express such a wish we will act
accordingly.”

First India Bureau
Jaipur. The National
highways authority of
India started the ring
road between Agra
Road to Ajmer Road on
Thursday. Both toll pla-
zas were also started
on the ring road after a
wait of over a decade.
The route will alleviate
traffic pressure in the
city and provide relief
from pollution also as
heavy vehicles will not
have to enter the city.
The ring road work
between Tonk Road to
Ajmer Road was com-
pleted a year ago but
the work between Agra
Road to Tonk Road was
incomplete. Two over
bridges have been con-
structed between Tonk
road and Agra road.
Now, the ring road has
been completed but the
cover leaf on Agra
Road, Tonk Road, and
Ajmer Road are yet to
be constructed. The
Jaipur development
authority had given
land for cloverleaf on
Tonk Road, but the
land of cloverleaf on
Agra Road and Ajmer
Road has not been pro-
vided yet.
In 2011, a contract
was made with the JDA
for ring road construc-
tion and in 2018 the con-
struction work was
handed over to the
NHAI.
With the start of the
ring road, vehicles go-
ing from Agra Road to
Tonk Road and Ajmer,
Delhi will be able to di-
rectly depart from the
ring road, said Ajay
Arya, Director Project
Ring Road, NHAI. At
present heavy vehicles
coming from Tonk
Road towards Ajmer
Road go from Pratap
Nagar, Sanganer por-
tion to B-2 bypass, New
Sanganer Road to-
wards Ajmer Road.
Union road trans-
port minister Nitin
Gadkari had inaugu-
rated out 27 km out of
47 km ring road
one and a half years
ago. The ring from
Tonk Road to Ajmer
Road was started in a
hurry before the code
of conduct of the Lok
Sabha elections.

Poonia writes to Gadkari for a
road for students near toll plaza
Aishwary Pradhan
Jaipur: State BJP pres-
ident Satish Poonia has
requested Union road
transport and highways
minister Nitin Gadkari
for making a way for the
movement of students
near Tatiawas toll plaza
of Jaipur-Chomu high-
way. He wrote a letter to
Gadkari and also re-
quested him to direct
NHAI officials to shift
an ancient Shiva temple
elsewhere.
Poonia said that there
is no way for students
studying in the Govern-
ment Primary School
located at Bandi River
Bus Stand near Tatia-
was toll plaza under his
constituency due to
which students have to
cross the highway
which is a risky affair
for them.
He said that other pe-
destrians also have to
cross the highway be-
cause there is no way
under the Bandi river
flyover. Poonia also
pointed out that an an-
cient Shiva temple was
covered by NHAI and it
should also be shifted
elsewhere. He requested
the minister to direct
the NHAI officials to re-
solve the issues.

oe Biden’s clear
defeat of Presi-
dent Donald
Trump, an-
nounced on Sat-
urday,November7afterfour
daysof counting,is–aweek
later – still not enough for
TrumptoaffirmBiden’svic-
tory.Biden’swinsupposedly
ended what had been called
the most consequential US
election of modern times,
but for reasons of his own,
Trump is still holding out.
Under the guise of insist-
ing that he was the victim
of voter fraud – he has been
advertising for months that
he’d make this argument if
he lost – Trump is denying
Biden, and the country, the
chance to begin an orderly
transition of power. That
Biden is the most experi-
enced person in modern
history to enter the presi-
dency will help, but he faces
the toughest situation con-
fronting a new president
since Franklin D. Roosevelt
took office in 1933, in the
midst of the Great Depres-
sion. Given the raging pan-
demic and economic col-
lapse, Biden’s challenge
may even be more difficult.
Most of Trump’s oppo-
nents recognize that the
election didn’t fulfill their
ardent desire for an over-
whelming repudiation of a
president they despise.
They must also face the fact
that Trump retains an ex-
ceptionally large following.
Almost ten million more
people voted for Trump this
time around than in 2016.
The Democrats fared much
worse in the elections for
theSenateandtheHouseof
Representatives than the
polls had predicted (they
werewrongagain),withthe
Senate probably remaining
in the hands of the Republi-
can master strategist Mitch
McConnell – unless the
Democrats sweep two run-
off elections to be held in
Georgia in early January.
The most alarming con-
clusion about Trump’s pres-
idency is how perilously
closetheUnitedStatescame
to abreakdownof its consti-
tutional system. If Trump
had succeeded in his efforts
toreversetheelection(clear-
ly futile from the outset), US
democracy could have been
destroyed. So perhaps the
biggestlessonfromTrump’s
presidencyishowfragilethe
US Constitution is, and that
timorousness before those
whowouldundermineiten-
hances the dangers.
It may take a while be-
fore Trump’s genuine, if
feral, political talent is
fully understood. Trump
succeeded in politics large-
ly by appealing to Ameri-
cans’ basest instincts and
exploiting the country’s
ingrained racism. The first
words he uttered as a can-
didate were a vicious de-
nunciation of Mexican im-
migrantsasrapists.Trump
understood, as do his fel-
low “populist” leaders
around the world, that a
great many people are
drawn to bombast. He also
benefited from his P.T. Bar-
num-like showman’s in-
stincts; the image of
Trump and his wife de-
scending a golden escala-
tor in 2015 is indelible.
Though he was politi-
cally damaged by it, Trump
didn’t pay the price he de-
served for his disastrous
mishandling of the pan-
demic, because he under-
stood, and played upon, the
contempt that many of his
supporters have for “ex-
perts.” He pressed for poli-
cies reflecting his under-
standing that people didn’t
want to be secluded in their
homes; that parents want-
edtheirkidsbackinschool;
that small businesses want-
ed to reopen; and that a lot
of people don’t want to be
ordered to wear a mask.

e associate the auspicious oc-
casion of Dhanteras with
wealth, and we associate
wealth with gold. With sev-
eral instruments in the mar-
ket constituting gold as their
underlying, an individual is
likely to reach a question.
Should you buy physical
gold, Sovereign Gold Bonds
(SGBs), or Gold ETFs?
As paperless gold is getting
streamlined across invest-
ment portfolios, the tradition-
al ways to accumulate gold
are becoming redundant.
While it’s true that we at-
tach a cultural value to physi-
cal gold, it makes for a waste-
ful investment. Making
charges aloneaffectstheover-
all gains from the investment
in physical gold. Also, physi-
cal gold demands safe storage
GO GOLD, GO
PAPERLESS?
Undoubtedly, gold provides
stability to an investment
portfolio. The ongoing global
pandemic has proven to be
the best example of how gold
is a worthy investment.
Typically, portfolio manag-
ers advise an exposure of 5 to
15 percent to the yellow met-
al. Gold limits the downside
risk of the portfolio in a situ-
ation when equities are not
performing well.
The real question is which
instrument: Gold ETFs,
SGBs, or digital gold?
GOLD EXCHANGE-
TRADED FUNDS (ETFS)
Gold ETFs have been trend-
ing this year after receiving a
net inflow of more than Rs
6,300 crores. The benefits of-
fered by Gold ETFs are unpar-
alleled when it comes to com-
parison with physical gold.
z The investor can buy gold
with consistent quality,
purity, and composition for
every single purchase. Gold
ETFs have 99.9 percent
purity 24 karat Gold as their
underlying commodity.
z Unlike funds offering expo-
sure to gold, gold ETFs do
not carry entry and exit load.
z Gold ETFs are tradable on
the stock exchange. There-
fore, all an individual will
need is a de-mat account to
purchase units of the ETF.
z Gold ETFs track the spot
price of gold in the commod-
ities market. The NAV of ETF
units is affected by the actual
market price of gold.
z No wastage or making
charges for buying gold ETFs
gives an investor more value
for money.
z One of the best features of
Gold ETF is that the investor
has the option of initiating a
systematic investment plan
(SIP). Gold ETFs can also be
used as collateral for loans.
z Tax savings occur by not be-
ing obligated to pay GST, as
is the case for physical gold.
However, the investor has to
pay taxes on capital gains.
Gold ETFs employ a form
of investing that is better
known as passive manage-
ment. Gold ETFs are passive-
ly-managed in that the fund’s
the objective is to mimic the
real price of the gold by allow-
ing for minimum deviations.
However, the truth of the
matter is that a slight devia-
tion is inevitable. Although
ETFs attract a lower expense
ratio, they still contribute to
tracking error. Tracking er-
ror is the difference between
the ETF returns and physical
gold returns.
Tracking errors stem from
the need for the fund to main-
tain a cash balance to cater to
redemption requests. The
bright side is that even with
thetrackingerror,GoldETFs’
features outweigh the poten-
tial costs of making charges.
SOVEREIGN GOLD
BONDS (SGBS)
While Gold ETFs’ characteris-
tics are equity-like, capital
markets offer another bond-
like instrument with gold as
their underlying: SGBs. SGBs
are interest-paying instru-
ments issued by the RBI on
behalf of the Central Govern-
ment;withsuchbacking,SGBs
have negligible credit risk.
SGBs are also traded on
the secondary market which
is why the lock-in period of 5
years does not pose an incon-
venience.
The price of SGBs is calcu-
lated by averaging the price
of 999 purity gold in its last
three trading sessions. The
prices are fair estimates for
the prevailing price of gold
but are not exact estimates.
ETFs strive to give a real-
time performance.
What ETFs lack due to
tracking error, SGBs lack
due to pricing methodology.
Nevertheless, the difference
can be ignored for the sake of
the bigger picture. Due to the
thinly traded fixed-income
market, liquidity offered by
Gold ETFs is much higher.
Taxation treatment is dif-
ferent for SGBs as well. The
2.5 percent interest on SGBs
is fully taxable. However,
there is no capital gains tax
on returns generated
through the appreciation of
gold prices.
The catch with both Gold
ETFs and Gold SGBs is that
at redemption or maturity,
the proceeds of the sale are
in the form of cash. There-
fore, physical gold is involved
only in the background. An
investor in either of the in-
struments does not get to see
the physical gold for real.
DIGITAL GOLD
Digital gold or E-gold is accu-
mulating the yellow metal in
tangible form. The highlight-
ing feature of digital gold is
that purchase and payment
of gold is carried out online.
Therefore, an individual does
not have to approach a seller
or a dealer. Mobile wallets
also offer the option to pur-
chase digital gold.
Buy gold for any denomi-
nations, even for as low as Re
1. Gold purchased digitally is
stored in 100 percent insured
vaults and can be exchanged
for real gold or exchanged for
jewelry at the end of the
holding period.
On the contrary, all the
drawbacks that apply to phys-
ical gold also apply to digital
gold. Except for an easy pur-
chase option, digital gold of-
fers nothing more. Digital
gold is also subject to a limit
on the investment period, say
five years, after which the in-
vestors have to accept deliv-
eryorredeemtheunits.More-
over, a GST of 3% is levied on
the purchase of digital gold.
However, the biggest risk
of participating in a digital
gold transaction is that there
are no regulators for the
product. Gold ETFs are regu-
lated by SEBI and SGBs are
regulated by RBI.
Investors who missed the
recent rally in gold still have
a good opportunity to accu-
mulate it at regular intervals
through the SIP route as the
future of yellow metal still
looks bright due to the fes-
tivities in India and the ongo-
ing uncertainty surrounding
the outcome of US Presiden-
tial Election of 2020.
BRING GOLD ETFS HOME THIS
DHANTERAS, FIND OUT WHY
W
The price of
SGBs is
calculated by
averaging the
price of 999
purity gold in its
last three trading
sessions. The
prices are fair
estimates for the
prevailing price
of gold but are
not exact
estimates. ETFs
strive to give a
real-time
performance.
What ETFs lack
due to tracking
error, SGBs lack
due to pricing
methodology.
Nevertheless, the
difference can be
ignored for the
sake of the bigger
picture. Due to
the thinly traded
fixed-income
market, liquidity
offered by Gold
ETFs is much
higher
DIGITAL GOLD OR E-GOLD IS ACCUMULATING THE YELLOW
METAL IN TANGIBLE FORM. THE HIGHLIGHTING FEATURE OF
DIGITAL GOLD IS THAT PURCHASE AND PAYMENT OF GOLD
IS CARRIED OUT ONLINE. THEREFORE, AN INDIVIDUAL DOES
NOT HAVE TO APPROACH A SELLER OR A DEALER. MOBILE
WALLETS ALSO OFFER THE OPTION TO PURCHASE
DIGITAL GOLD. BUY GOLD FOR ANY DENOMINATIONS,
EVEN FOR AS LOW AS RE 1. GOLD PURCHASED DIGITALLY
IS STORED IN 100 PERCENT INSURED VAULTS AND CAN BE
EXCHANGED FOR REAL GOLD OR EXCHANGED FOR
JEWELRY AT THE END OF THE HOLDING PERIOD

Shivendra Parmar
Jaipur: Perhaps now
the measure of success
should change and be
made synonymous to
the Rajasthan Housing
Board. This, because at
a time when Corona has
severely crippled the
economy, the RHB has
been the only profit
making entity in the
real estate realm which
has proved all the trade
pundits and well estab-
lished business houses
to be nought.
Keeping in tune with
its continued success
story that is repeated
every week, through its
Wednesday Auction
Festival e-bid submis-
sion scheme, this week
the Board as raked in a
whopping 85.33 crore
rupees by sale of 226
properties. Interesting-
ly, as the nation cele-
brates Dhanteras festi-
val, RHB’s massive rev-
enue generation could
not have come at a more
auspicious time!
“64 properties were
sold through the e-bid
submission on Wednes-
day, which resulted in a
revenue of Rs 6.62 crore.
Similarly, under ‘Apni
Dukaan, Apna Vyavs-
aay’ Scheme, 86 com-
mercial plots and 12
fully constructed shops
were sold, which gave
the board a revenue of
Rs 16.79 crore. The e-
auction of 64 residen-
tial and commercial
premium properties lo-
cated in Jaipur, Dausa
and Baran was also car-
ried out by the board,
wherein the board re-
ceived a revenue of Rs
61.91 crore from the sale
of these properties.
Moreover, the Hous-
ing Board’s headquar-
ters have been decorat-
ed in a unique manner
with colorful lighting.
“Dhanteras is consid-
ered as the first festival
of Diwali, a five-day ma-
haparva according to
Indian beliefs, and the
revenue of 85 crore 33
lakh is auspicious sign
on this day,” said RHB
Commissioner Pawan
Arora.
The Commissioner
further added that in
the Wednesday auction
festival e-bid submis-
sion and sale of 162
properties under Apni
Dukaan-Apna Vyavs-
aay, RHB earned a rev-
enue of Rs. 23 crore 42
lakhs. “71 properties
were sold in Jaipur Cir-

gave the board a reve-
nue of Rs 9.87

The Kota circle sold 22

Govt’s booster...
under the retirement
fund scheme or those
who lost their jobs
during the March-Sep-
tember period.
The Atmanirbhar
Bharat Rozgar scheme
will come into force
from October 1 with
September as the base
month, and will contin-
ue till June 30 next year.
For companies with
up to 1,000 EPFO-regis-
tered employees earn-
ing up to Rs 15,000 per
month, the central gov-
ernment will cover the
12 per cent contribution
each of the employee
and the employer for
next two years. The
move is aimed at easing
the financial burden on
companies for creating
jobs.
The government also
declared income tax re-
lief for first-time buy-
ers of houses costing up
to Rs 2 crore.
As a result, buyers of
these units will get a tax
relief of up to 20 per
cent under the Income
Tax Act.
NDA will...
to the position of junior
partner in the de-
cades-old alliance with
the BJP. Though Pas-
wan’s LJP had won only
one seat, Kumar said
his separate presence
has cut into JDU votes,
leading to the loss of
nearly 30 seats.
From 71 seats in 2015,
the JDU has shrunk to
43 seats, in what has
been a huge loss of face
for the three-time Chief
Minster, making him
dependent on the BJP
foralong-desiredfourth
term.
The BJP, which had
lost the alliance with
Uddhav Thackeray in
Maharashtra over a dis-
agreement over the top
post, has maintained
since beginning that
Kumar will remain its
Chief Minister in Bi-
har.
Even after the re-
sults, its leaders have
reiterated that Kumar
will retain his position.
Ultimate decision...
Arora said keeping in
mind the distancing
norms in place due to
the COVID-19 pandem-
ic, the number of voters
per polling station was
restricted to 1,000 in-
stead of the usual 1,500.
This had resulted in an
increase of 33,000 poll-
ing stations. This time,
Bihar had over one lakh
polling stations. More
poling stations meant
the use of 63 per cent
additional electronic
voting machines
(EVMs).
The number of count-
ing tables per hall was
also halved to seven in-
stead of 14 and the num-
ber of counting loca-
tions also increased
from 38 to 55.
The counting of
votes, which began at 8
am on November 10,
continued till the wee
hours of November 11.
Arora, along with fel-
low election commis-
sioners Sushil Chandra
and Rajiv Kumar, paid
tributes to Mahatma
Gandhi at Rajghat.
Non-registration...
it is clearly written in
the warning that Crime
is the result of various
circumstances existing
in society. Due to the
policies and procedures
prevailing in different
states, it should be
avoided to make com-
parisons between states
only on the basis of
these data. There is a
difference between an
increase in crime and
an increase in crime
registration and some
people make the mis-
take of considering the
two as one,” the letter
reads.
“Making the registra-
tion of crime a measure
of the success and fail-
ure of the police, rein-
forces the tendency not
to register a crime. Due
to this, many types of
disorders in the work-
ing of the police also
arise. This is not the
time to oppose registra-
tion, but to strongly
support this policy of
providing justice to ev-
ery person. Otherwise,
in future, the govern-
ment of any state of the
country will shy away
from taking such steps
which provide relief to
the common man,” Ge-
hlot said.
The Chief Minister
has stated in the letter
that in order to remove
complexity in crime
registration, in May
2019, Rajasthan has im-
plemented a system of
uninterrupted registra-
tion of crimes. Under
this, in case of not reg-
istering a case in the
police station, the com-
mon man can aproach
the Superintendent of
Police and file an FIR.
“We have also ensured
the investigation of ev-
ery case of not regis-
tering a case in police
stations and the provi-
sion of disciplinary
action against the offi-
cer. In addition, regu-
lar video conferencing
is also being done to
make police officers
aware and to ensure
compliance with the
decree operations,”
Gehlot said.

‘` 900 CRORE GRANT FOR RESEARCH’Sitharaman said the grant does not cover the actual cost of vaccine and distribution expenses
New Delhi: Finance
Minister Nirmala Si-
tharaman on Thursday
announced a Rs 900
crore grant to the De-
partment of Biotech-
nology for COVID-19
vaccine research.
“We are providing Rs
900 crore for research
and development of
COVID-19 vaccine. This
is being provided for
covid suraksha mis-
sion, purely for R&D
but this money goes to

purposes,” she said.

does not cover the ac-
tual cost of vaccine and
distribution expenses,
which will be made sep-
arately as and when the

“The actual cost of
the vaccine or logistics
required for distribut-
ing the vaccine is total-
ly different and what-
ever is required for
that, as and when it is
required will be provid-
ed. But this is totally a
different purpose and
this is for research for
vaccine development
which goes towards de-
partment of biotechnol-
ogy,” she added.
Sitharaman also said
that Rs 10,200 crore ad-
ditional budget outlay
willbeprovidedtowards
capital and industrial
expenditure for domes-
tic defence equipment,

posals being discussed
between India and Chi-
na, the two sides would
dismantle any new
structures that have
come up during the on-
going standoff since

The issue of Depsang

blocked some patrolling
points of the Indian
Army and a couple of
other patrolling points
of the Indian Army
where Chinese have not
yet disengaged entirely
during the first phase
of disengagement are
also to be resolved soon.
The proposals are
being discussed as the
armies of the two
countries have reached
an agreement to dis-
cuss stepwise disen-
gagement from parts
of the Eastern Ladakh
sector under which
they would be moving
back to their respec-
tive positions before

Ministry of Electronics

instead of the Ladakh,
sources in the Ministry
said here on Thursday.
According to sources,
the Ministry had issued
a notice to the Global

The Ministry in its no-

a deliberate attempt by
Twitter to undermine
the will of sovereign
Parliament of India,
which had declared
Ladakh as a Union Ter-
ritory of India with its
headquarter in Leh,
sources said.
They said the Minis-
try has directed Twitter
to explain within five
working days why legal
action should not be ini-
tiated against Twitter.

LEO
JULY 24 - AUGUST 23
You have in-depth
knowledge of a particular
subject and you may have a
career in teaching like. You
will earn a lot and money will never
cease to flow in your life but
satisfaction is another thing, you have
to learn to be happy in present. All
that you like and love is manifested.
LIBRA
SEPT 24 - OCTOBER 22
Excessively eating from
outside right now could
prove to be a big health
hazard. You are tempted
towards trying you hand in
something creative and its requires
some money initially. You are
someone who gives strength to
people to fight and never give up.
ARIES
MAR 21 - APR 20
Bumptious youngsters are
a big no for you as you like
obedient kinds. You are
financial stable but not
satisfied and you want to collect
wealth. This is an excellent time to
showcase your talents as not only
you will get the recognition for it but
also you will get rewarded.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 - DEC 22
Impatient nature sometimes
does good for you. You are
always busy in your fantasy
world and you need
someone from outside to wake you up
and get you out. You are working on a
project that will change your life, this is
the beginning of your career and you
shall never look back.
GEMINI
MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Abstemious behaviour just
to slim down could be a
good idea if tried for
sometime. Your venture
that was all going down will suddenly
start giving you profits beyond
measure. Some of you are not very
much interested in studies and there
is nothing to be ashamed about it.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 - FEB 19
Brilliant mind leads to
brilliant ideas but thats not
it, you need to put those
ideas to some use for
brilliant outcomes. You are very quick
with your responses and sometimes
you say things that you don’t mean as
you don’t think much before speaking.
You love your spouse.
TAURUS
APR 21 - MAY 20
Refinement is important if
you are dealing in good
business as there could be
an inspection. Changes in
behaviour will directly have good
impact on your relationships both
personal and professional. Joining
hands with someone for a social
cause will be the best decision.
CAPRICORN
DEC 23 - JAN 20
Looking out for a friend is
something everyone can
learn from you. You are
special in many ways and
your parents are blessed to have you
in their life. You have a vision and
you will achieve all that you want
someday. This is the beginning of a
golden period of your life.
VIRGO
AUG 24 - SEP 23
Eventualities related to
business are something
you should be prepared for
well and in advance. Don’t
stress out and over exert today as
sometimes too much burden of work
can make you sick so take things a
bit easy. Those compelled in terms of
career must take a stand now.
CANCER
JUNE 22 - JULY 23
Barriers are many in life to
state the truth but it surely
depends on each individual
how they manage to cross
it. You are gifted with lots of wealth
in inheritance and you plan to do
something big with it. You are a
devoted person and you dedicate
yourself completely to any task.
PISCES
FEB20 - MARCH 20
Mother’s love is most
important for you and you
can do anything for your
mother. You are recently
feeling restless as you wish to do
something but still couldn’t figure
out what, don’t worry you shall find
the way soon. Your performance and
improvement is remarkable.
SCORPIO
OCT 23 - NOVEMBER 22
Pending tasks will be
complete on your behalf by
someone, this is how
nature will show its love
towards you. A strong position that
you hold shall not be misused for
self gain at the cost of other people’s
gain. You may be confused about
someone’s personality.
YOUR
DAYHoroscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
he holy month of
Kartik is upon us
andasthewarmth
of the sun grows
distant we adopt
auspicious rituals
of fire. The five-
day long Diwali festivities
begin with Dhanteras, the
birthday of lord Dhan-
vantri - god of Ayur-
veda. As mentioned
in Vedic texts ‘Sagar
Manthan’ or the
churning of the cos-
mic ocean brought forth
Lord Dhanvantri bearing a
pot of ‘Amrit’ (the nectar
of immortality). This Am-
rit was the gift of healing
in the form of Ayurveda.
Lord Dhanvantri imparted
Ayurvedic wisdom on var-
ious aspects like diet,
herbs, pranayama, mantra
and meditation for the ho-
listic wellbeing of man-
kind. Dhanteras is fol-
lowed by the day of beauti-
fication - Roop Chaudas or
Narak Chaturdashi.
The month of Kartik
provides a salubrious envi-
ronment to rejuvenate
skin cells. If you have ever
considered an all-natural
skin care regime then this
is the time of year for a fa-
vorable start. Roop Chau-
das, also know as Narak
Chaturdashi, is celebrated
to mark the victory of god-
dess Kali over the demon
king Narakasur. Hence, on
this day Diyas are lit to dis-
pel evil darkness in the
environment and divine
self-care rituals of beauty
are performed to awaken
the inner goddess.
But what does it take to
attain divine beauty? And
how can one measure this
beauty? Certainly not by
modern standardizations
of dress size, skin color or
age defying surgical inter-
ventions. Ayurveda is a
part of Rigveda that meas-
ures beauty as Satyam
(truth), Shivam (sacred),
Sundaram (beauty).
Satyam is the pursuit of
truth, the discovery of
your consciousness. Shi-
vam is sacred. It is the pur-
suit of making your con-
sciousness holy. One,
which is free from thought,
feeling, emotion, judgment
and conclusion. Sundaram
is beauty, the pursuit of
observing ones environ-
ment with this pure sacred
consciousness to see beau-
ty everywhere. This is the
spiritual secret of Ayur-
veda to attain true radiant
beauty.
To make radiant beauty
divine we must strive to
achieve brilliant ‘Ojas’
(immune mechanism and
bodily tissue), excellent
‘Tejas’ (cellular intelli-
gence and metabolic activ-
ity) and vibrant ‘Prana’
(life force and flow of com-
munication). We must also
work on flushing out Ama
(toxic waste) and balanc-
ing the three Doshas–
Vata (principle of move-
ment including neuro-elec-
trical impulses)
Pitta (metabolic fire re-
sponsible for digestion,
absorption and assimila-
tion of nutrition)
Kapha (building block
material like protein and
fat) But often, even in a
spiritual science like
Ayurveda, beauty is in-
deed, skin deep. Skin is the
reflection of what is going
on deep inside, even down
to our organs and is used
in clinical observations
and diagnosis of ailments.
S o

m u s t
m a k e
great efforts to
keep our skin beau-
tiful and radiant.
Traditionally on Roop
Chaudas an ‘Abhiyangan
Snan’ is taken at the crack
of dawn. The first step of
Abhiyangan is ‘Snehana’
literally translating to self-
love. Snehana is a self-oil
massage using sesame oil
for its warming, deeply
nourishing, detoxing and
anti-aging effect. This
massage also enhances
muscle tone and blood
flow.
The next stage is ‘Lepan’
or body pack. A combina-
tion of complimentary
herbs is mixed with yogurt
to form a thick paste called
Ubtan and is applied over
the body. Once this paste
has dried it is softly rubbed
off the skin and finally
washed off with warm wa-
ter or even raw milk. After
this ritual one can proceed
with their regular bath-
ing practice as well. A
five-wick Diya is lit in a
corner for lord Yamraj
to symbolize the wash-
ing away of psychologi-
cal Ama or waste of la-
ziness, procrastination
and sluggishness.
Ayurvedic Ubtans
made at home are true
beauty elixirs. A key
ingredient in Ubtan
with a myriad of ben-
efits is Chironji. A
simple nut usually
used in festive sweet
preparations like
kheer. Chironji is
good antioxidant
shielding the skin
form radical oxidative
damage like age spots,
wrinkles, fine lines
and dark circles. It is
also anti-inflamma-
tory reducing con-
ditions like acne,
pimples and in-
fections. Ubtan
combined with
herbal proto-
col used in accordance
with Dosha disorders can
be greatly beneficial. Vata
ailments include skin is-
sues like dryness, sensitive
irritable skin, eczema and
early signs of aging like
fine lines and wrinkles.
Pitta ailments include pig-
mentation and discolora-
tion of skin,
age spots and sun sensitiv-
ity. Kapha ailments in-
clude Psoriasis, oiliness,
boils and pimples.
These beauty rituals
combined with a balanced
lifestyle and regular
breathing practices are
sure to give you a long last-
ing radiant festive glow!
