    what festival is this?

    The fluid in the well is water and not milk?

  24. magiceyeSeptember 15, 2010 at 4:36 PM

    @Ann this festival is the celebration of Lord Ganesha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesha)

    the idol is immersed in a water body where it dissolves back into clay from which it was made.

    Neat snap. It is not a big festival up here in Delhi and Punjab but people in Maharashtra celebrate it with a lot of excitement.
