Today is Ganesh Chaturthi, a Hindu Festival celebrating Lord Ganesh.
Lord Ganesha is the son of Shiva and Parvati and considered a supreme god among the gods.
Ganesh is a favored god for he is the god of wisdom, helps prevent calamities and also removes obstacles to success.
Many people take in an idol of Lord Ganesh to pray to for a time and then have a procession to immerse the idol in a beach or river.
I found this idea for those who desire to make their own idols. I will remember it for next year.
