Yes, it's another celebration in India. This time it's Ganesh's birtday, otherwise known as Ganesh Chaturti. On this day clay images of the elephant god Ganesh are made. After offerings and prayers have been made, the sculpture is then taken to the sea or river for immersion. Like most Indian holiday, this one also involves special sweets, with laddu and steamed rice dumplings stuffed with jaggery and coconut being made.
Below the photo of the clay Ganeshes we see a man and children selling colorful umbrellas to accompany the clay sculpture.
