Ganesha Festival 
Sept 12-16 (Wed through Sun)

Sponsors can sponsor or request a clay Ganesha

on line: http://www.hinduheritage.org/event-2623314

Our Ganeshas come from clay and return to clay

Only Temple sourced clay Ganeshas are accepted for Temple poojas, Rathotsava and visarjan. Store bought Ganeshas are unlikely to dissolve on immersion and hence deemed not good for the environment.

A 5 foot Ganesha made of paper mesh will take center stage during the festival.

Naivedya Laddu 

for everyone’s liking

Like in the previous years, volunteers prepare family size Naivedya Laddus and serve the Laddu everyday after Ganesha Pooja.  

You can make your selection online or by filling out a sankalpa card at the Temple.

There is Samoohika Vinayaka Pooja planned at 7PM on Wednesday, Sept 12 (Ganesha Chathurthi evening). The charge for participation is $51 and this includes one Naivedya Laddu. Again we suggest you reserve your seat by online registration.

Much work goes into celebrating Ganesha festival. We call on volunteers to help with decorations and making Sahasra Modhakas and Naivedya Laddus on Sept 8 and Sept 9
