In Palermo, a Catholic Saint Joins the Hindu Pantheon
After they spread pink petals on golden statues of Ganesh and Shiva, and recited prayers to blue-skinned and eight-armed gods, the Hindu faithful left their temple and headed to a party for another one of their divinities — the Catholic St. Rosalia. “To the other goddess!” said Swasthika Sasiyendran, 23, after she changed from her gold-and-white sari into a T-shirt bearing Rosalia’s face. Every year, in the height of Sicily’s summer heat, Palermo fills with festival lights and honking scooters as people gather to celebrate Rosalia, the city’s patron saint. Among the hundreds of thousands who join the procession, which culminates with a towering statue of the saint being carried through the streets, are members of the city’s Sri Lankan Tamil community, some of Rosalia’s most ardent worshipers. Palermo is prone to this kind of medley.

Nifty and Bank Nifty Prediction for the week 05 Aug’24 to 09 Aug’24 by BL GURU
Global equity markets have come under pressure as the fear of a #recession in the #US has resurfaced after the weak economic data releases last week. The initial trigger for the fall in equities came from the #PMI data release on Thursday and the #jobsdata release on Friday has added more fuel to it. On the charts, the equity indices have started to come down from a crucial resistance. That leaves the chances high to see more fall in the #dowjones, #nifty50, #banknifty from current levels. In case the #niftybankindex manages to bounce from 50,500, a range of 50,500-52,500 is a possibility.
