Ganesha festival

I took this a number of years ago in September when there is a Ganesha festival in Tamil Nadu.  This amazingly elaborate Ganesha is made from clay and after several days of being on display, will be taken to the ocean and dumped in to dissolve!

Many people make or buy their own Ganeshas and the beaches get very crowded, not to mention the streets!
