Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrations New York ------------ In New York, the Maha Vallabha Ganesh Temple in Flushing holds a beautiful Ganesh festival each year with crowds of parents and children dressed in festive Indian clothes, bringing gifts of flowers and going back with free “prasadam” from the temple. More than 3000 “Prasad” boxes are given away daily. Hawans reminiscent of ancient Vedic yajnyas with Vedic chanting go on in one part of the temple while activities for children and adults take place in another. One can shop for all “pooja” things. The evening “aarati” is a visual treat for first-time visitors as a team of priests swerve tall brass lamps, after which a smaller Ganesh image is carried for an outing around the whole temple. The final day, Ganesh rides the silver chariot. All this happens every year until this year. This year, most regular activities of the festival held August 14 through 22, were virtual. But the temple was open for in-person viewing and prayer for five hours with an extra one hour at night for 30 devotees at a time for ten minutes.
