Ganesha parade on our way to submerge in the pond ✨
From Hinduism Today Magazine: During Ganesha Chaturthi, a ten-day festival in August/September, elaborate puja ceremonies are held in Hindu temples around the world honoring Ganesha, the benevolent, elephant-faced Lord of Obstacles. In millions of home shrines, worship is also offered to a clay image of Ganesha that the family makes or obtains. At the end of ten days, Hindus join in a grand parade, called visarjana in Sanskrit, to a river, temple tank, lake or seashore, where His image is ceremonially immersed, symbolizing Ganesha’s merging into universal consciousness.

The sky was so gorgeous before morning meditation. We’re so lucky to be able to see the stars. If you zoom in, you can see the sliver of moon hanging above the temple.
