Sep 7th, 2008 - Since the Ganesha festival is on, my parents wanted to visit the Irving Hindu Temple. Today was also my grandfather's birthday and so we decided that it was a good reason to visit the temple. We reached the temple around 11:00 AM and it was very crowded, there was no place to park at the temple. Luckily my Dad managed to find a spot. Inside the temple, there was a lot of crowd and everyone was singing. It was very colorful too. Luckily the main ceremony had not started and we were able to go to the different gods and offer our prayers. |
Once we done, the main ceremony started. There was a small pooja and then the Lord Ganesha was taken for the "Visarjan" ceremony. The statue of Lord Ganesha was carried on a cart and it made its way outside the temple with many people following the cart and chanting "Ganpati Bappa Moriya". After the ceremony was completed, we came home and had a quiet Sunday at home.
