Ganesh Chaturthi 2012 Celebration

When I was in India I didnt had any idea about Ganesha Festival
then when I was in  college in Bangalore I saw the Celebrations in year 2000
every year Ganesha Idol would be bought and kept for 10 days in the hostel premises
and on 11th day Idol would be taken for immersion with much fanfare
Year 2008 I learnt how Modak is prepared at Lakshmi's place
Year 2011 prepared for the festival Modak and Pal Kozhukattai

Year 2012

pics taken at my neighbor's place

she prepared Modaks for the offering

and kept Ganesha favorite fruit for Naivedyam

Wish all the readers of Asan Khana Happy Ganesh Chaturthi

wish you all happy week ahead
