OHNY: Ganesh Temple

We'd been to Ganesh Temple, part of the Hindu Temple Society of North America complex in Queens before, for the food, but this weekend we went for the religion. As part of OHNY, this Hindu temple was open to visitors, so we could watch the pujas (ceremonies) performed for Brahmin, Shiva, Vishnu, and, of course, Ganesh, remover of obstacles. We said "namaste" to the various sari-clad, flower-covered vigrahas (idols), and "see you soon."
