Lord Ganpati comes visiting

September 06, 2006
An interesting tale from Mallika Velamuri:

This is my humble Ganesha. As a software professional living in temporary accomodation in the US I did not have much choice (in finding a Ganpati). So I made my Ganesha with turmeric for my Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.

I made the murti but forgot to give my Ganesha tusks. I started my puja using rice grains mixed with turmeric in the traditional way. My rice grains magically went and got stuck exactly in the place where the tusks are supposed to be.

I am not sharing a great image but want to show friends in India how working singles, like me, try to celebrate our festivals with whatever we have.
