Re: Raritan river Ganesh pull 8/28/17:
According to the internet....
The Hindu festival, Ganesh Chaturthi, marks the birth of Lord Ganesha. Being celebrated in almost all parts of India, this year the auspicious occasion is falling on 25th August, 2017. Every year, Ganesh Chaurthi is celebrated for 10 days with great devotion and enthusiasm.
On the first day, people invite Lord Ganesha by bringing the Ganesha's idol at their home. Maintaining the piousness, they worship for 10 days and on the last day, the idol is taken out in a joyous way and submerge the idol in a large water body.
Better schedule another clean up for next week!
