Paris 2012, mais c'est ainsi tous les ans dans le quartier où se déroule le défilé de ganesh, (premier WE de septembre ou dernier du mois d'août)
La porte de Ganesh était l'entrée de la partie privée du palais. Elle a été bâtie par le Maharaja Jai Singh 1er en 1639.
L' architecture à deux niveaux est un très bel exemple de l'architecture rajput, qui est une synthèse entre les traditions hindoues et musulmanes. La représentation du Dieu Ganesh est placée au-dessus de la porte principale comme le veut la tradition hindoue.
Les harmonieux décors polychromes à décors géométriques et floraux sont d'inspiration indo-persane

Ganesha or Ganesh, also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. His image is found throughout India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bali (Indonesia) and Bangladesh and in countries with large ethnic Indian populations including Fiji, Mauritius and Trinidad and Tobago. Hindu denominations worship him regardless of affiliations.Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains and Buddhists.
Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rites and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits.
Ganesha likely emerged as a deity as early as the 1st century CE,but most certainly by the 4th and 5th centuries CE, during the Gupta period, although he inherited traits from Vedic and pre-Vedic precursors. Hindu mythology identifies him as the restored son of Parvati and Shiva of the Shaivism tradition, but he is a pan-Hindu god found in its various traditions. In the Ganapatya tradition of Hinduism, Ganesha is the supreme deity. The principal texts on Ganesha include the Ganesha Purana, the Mudgala Purana, and the Ganapati Atharvashirsa. Brahma Purana and Brahmanda Purana are other two Puranic genre encyclopaedic texts that deal with Ganesha.

May Lord Ganesha gives you:
A rainbow for every storm;
A smile for every tear;
A promise for every care;
And an answer to every prayer!
-Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
