The Hindu god Ganesh (the elephant-headed one) is celebrated across India, and the world, around this time of the year. The Hindu community in Lansing is no exception. A couple of days ago I was asked to take pictures of a music program at the local temple.<\/p>\n

It was a great evening full of friends, food and devotional music. I am not a very religious person but there is something about devotional music (irrespective of which religion it may be) that always touches a chord with me.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here are the pictures I took the other day. I particularly loved capturing the moon over the temple. Enjoy.<\/p>\n
