Ganesh Fest '09 - Evening Fanciness

At the start of the march to the sea, the drum corps moving into position.** Heavy loads for loud noises.

The back of a truck is covered with flowers and ready for the god to come out.**

There is palpable joy at the excitement of seeing Ganesh emerging from the house.**

Bringing out Ganesh for the ride to the water. Everyone wants a photo.

Trumpeting as Ganesh arrives.**

Flag bearers ready to roll.

Watching the spectacle from above.

Flag bearers rolling.** Notice the swastika?

The drum corps hard at work** and the drum corps smiling.

Crowds of people helping the god along. They have miles to go tonight to get to the beach.
Let's see what happens along the parade route...
