INDIA SERIES
Spectacular festival honors the birth of the beloved Hindu elephant head, Lord Ganesha, popularly adored for its ability to remove obstacles and bring good fortune. It is held for 11 days (ending on September 5), with the biggest show it has place on the last day called Anant Chaturdasi day. One of the best places to experience the festival is in the city of Mumbai. The celebrations take place especially in the imposing Siddhivinayak temple, located in the central suburb of Prabhadevi, which is dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Untold numbers of devotees visit the temple to join in the prayers and pay homage to God during the festival. In addition, around 10,000 Lord Ganesh statues are displayed in various parts of the city.
The festival begins with the installation of huge and elaborate Ganesha statutes in homes and podiums, which have been specially built and beautifully decorated. The artisans put months of effort in making the statues.
It is forbidden to look at the moon on this first night as legend has it the moon laughed at Lord Ganesha when he fell from his vehicle, the rat. In Ananta Chaturdasi (the last day), the statues are paraded through the streets, accompanied by much singing and dancing, and then submerged in the ocean or other bodies of water.
Once a statue of Lord Ganesh is installed, a ceremony is performed to invoke his holy presence on the statue. This ritual is called Pranapratishhtha Puja, during which a series of mantras are recited. After this a special cult is performed. Offerings of sweets, flowers, rice, coconut, jaggery and coins are made to God. The statue is also anointed with red chandan powder. Prayers are offered to Lord Ganesha every day during the festival. Temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha also organize special events and prayers. Those who have a statue of Ganesha at home treat and care for him as a dearly loved guest. The festival is celebrated in a very public way. Local communities compete with each other to present the greatest and best statue of Ganesha and their exhibition. Expect the crowded streets, full of bustling devotees, and lots of music.

Kantaben Solanki is all smiles when she was given the honour to hoist the Indian flag on 26th January in our society (building) on the occasion of Indian Republic Day.
She has been serving the building society in which I reside from past 3 decades .. she and her family have been a great help and support in maintaining cleanliness and carrying out day to day household and building chores selflessly which were impossible during the tough Covid time.
Thanks for the comments.

This sunday we tried to get the Bandra Worli Sealink between our camera and the sunrise. Being in the west coast of India, we get beautiful sunsets on the horizon but sun rises from behind the buildings.
However the land ends much before the sealink curves, therefore we could not shoot the sealink silhouette with sunrise.
This was one of my early pictures of the sunrise this sunday. The right or west side of the bridge is still dark while the buildings on the east side have already got early morning red and yellow light.
Chhavi calls herself a displanted desi. She has a soundtrack in her head at all times and when she's not plotting podcasts, mapping audio tours, or teaching responsible radio, she's being gregarious.
She loves cats.
She blogs at www.chhavisachdev.com, works at @audiocompassIND and runs @sonologue
A drive-by picture from the Bandra-Worli Sea-Link, Mumbai, one early evening. All the pictures were taken from a moving car.
Since my home computer crashed a few days back, I have processed this on Picasa, therefore the processing is a bit extreme.

Worli (वरळी) is a locality in the city of Mumbai, India. Historic spellings: Varli, Worlee, Warli.[1] Sachin Ahir is the elected MLA from worli.[2]
Worli was one of the original seven islands that constituted the city of Mumbai. Although primarily a fishing village, the Worli Fort, a British fort that is now in ruins, is located there. Worli later became known as the land of the Kalsi. Worli has a mosque, the Haji Ali Dargah, on a rock in the sea, which was connected at low-tide to the island by a natural causeway. The island of Worli was connected to the main island of Mumbai in 1784, with the completion of the Hornby Vellard. The Hornby Vellard is now known as Lala Lajpat Rai Road.
In 1842, the Love Grove sewage pumping station was completed. It has special mitre gates opening to the sea, which are opened during periods of low tide. The pumping station is built on Dr Annie Besant road which was formerly known as the Love Grove Road.
The British had built four bungalows for its administrative heads on the stretch ahead of the Love Grove Pumping station back in the 1930s. These bungalows are now replaced by the ATRIA Mall..
