Ganesh Chaturthi
is celebrated yesterday and due to the festival there was a cart procession
from our street temple last night and I took some photos when the cart comes
close to our house. Actually there are two Ganesh temples in our neighborhood,
but the only one on our street was took to the street first and until 11 pm
there wasn’t a sign of procession from the other temple, so we went asleep and I have no idea whether it was taken
to the street or not.
Following is
our home Ganesh, an idol made of clay and it’s supposed to dissolve into a tub of
water tomorrow as per the ritual. Usually these clay idols are immersed into the
sea or any other water body but we are into dissolving process at home for less
than a decade. Hope u liked these photos - click for enlargement :)

Nice pics Jeevan...
I am very amazed to hear that they could dissolve in the water.
The photos are beautiful and thank you!
The clay idols have their own charm. I am amazed at seeing one on your blog, even after seeing so many on the street :)

It's not easy to get photographs at night, but you did a good job with the procession. I enjoyed all of your photos very much.
What a wonderful Ganesh!
The colors are so wonderful. The dissolving of the clay must take a while as it is a tight holding material. I guess taking its time is their purpose.
I always love seeing your blog posts when your area has a parade... I love reading about your traditions. Everything is always SO colorful. You got some fantastic pictures...
