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.
