Another festival we in the US are celebrating before people in India. Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated in India tomorrow or should I say on Wednesday whereas we here doing it today, Tuesday.
It is a holiday in India and no it is not a holiday in this part of the world. The temples do the celebrations in the evening here. Another interesting note. Usually we never visited temples on festival days while I was growing up, but now visiting temple has become a part of the ritual. I never drew Ganesha, made one or had a theme learning but kids this generation are learning to make their eco friendly ones.
Yes, things have changed a lot as time changes but celebrations continue. Oldies may say this kind of celebration are wrong but I would say as a middle aged oldie we just need to get acclimated to the new change.
Last year we celebrated in India and memories are fresh.
My Ganesha today, with a new umbrella made by my young man. No we are not getting a new Ganesha but he has been in our family for years so he gets the honors today.
