Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi
marks the birth of Lord Ganesha and is celebrated all over the country. This
is also symbolic of the advent of all festivals dedicated to other Indian
Gods.
The temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha is located in the
fort of Ranthambhor, about 12 kms from Sawai Madhopur and it is one of the
most important Ganesha temples in the State. There is always a lot of
activity at the temple because people believe that the first invitation to a
marriage should be sent to Lord Ganesha.
This temple is the site
for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations attracting devotees from all over to join
in the singing of devotional songs. The Orange color in which the idol is
painted as well is the holy colour for this festival. The idol is lavishly
decorated with golden ornaments and every day felicities with huge garlands
of marigold. There are markets around the temple attracting the tourists and
visitors.
It is preferable to approach Ranthambhor from Sawai
Madhopur, which lies on the main Delhi-Mumbai railway line and is also
connected to Jaipur by rail. A road link with Jaipur exists as well.

Hello
Durjay,
I'm back at home and at work. The flight home was quite
an ordeal! First a ten-hour delay in Delhi, then a 20-hour flight to
Toronto, then a second overnight delay in Toronto before my flight to
Chicago. To top it all off, the bus I took from Chicago to Milwaukee got in
an accident on the way home. So I arrived home on Sunday afternoon instead
of Saturday at 8 a.m. as planned. But there was an empty seat next to me on
the Delhi-Toronto flight, so I got plenty of sleep. And I'm happy to be home
safe.
