HINDU TEMPLE OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS NIRVANA GARDENS CITY OF WEST PEORIA
Ganesha Festival Sept 10-12
(Fri through Sun)
Sponsors can sponsor or request a clay Ganesha
on line: https://hinduheritage.wildapricot.org/event-2623314
Our Ganeshas come from clay and return to clay
Only Temple sourced clay Ganeshas are accepted for Temple poojas 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.
Ganesha

for everyone’s liking
Take out prasadam will be provided (all three days).
