Vinayaka Chavithi 2008

vinayakachavithi08 Last year I wrote a very detailed post on Vinayaka Chavithi. This year all of us went to the Omaha Ganesha Temple. The crowd was not heavy, and the rituals not as grand as I thought it would be, which was a disappointment. A enthusiastic devotee shoved hymn copies of "Om Jai Jagdish" in Hindi. Most of the crowd knew the tune, but didnt know the lyrics, and generally hummed along [Clear indication of south indian crowd]. The said same lady, later on belted out "Gajana Nayutam" in carnatic style, which was good.
