Colorful temple dedicated to Ganesh, the elephant-headed god, prayed to help overcome obstacles and celebrated in August or September

This colorful temple is dedicated to Ganesh, the elephant-headed god who is prayed to as he helps overcome obstacles. Lakshmi, the famous elephant who was stationed in front of the temple entrance to bless devotees for more than a decade, unfortunately passed away in November 2022. In August or September, depending on the lunar calendar, the Ganapati festival takes place during which statues of Ganesh are led in procession to the waterfront and thrown into the ocean.

Un temple authentique
Il faut vraiment visiter ce petit temple de Pondichéry en Inde du Sud, c'est un temple authentique, bien connu des fidèles. Il est situé dans une petite ruelle. Des marchandes de fleurs et d'offrandes juste devant l'entrée, et l'on l'accède à ce petit temple sans prétention dédié au dieu bleu Ganesh. Les photos y sont interdites parce qu'ici c'est la ferveur palpable qui fait tout le charme. Je recommande une visite, ça vaut un petit détour.

A voir éventuellement.
Ce temple dédié au dieu Ganesha ne vaut que pour la visite de l'éléphant qui, tous les jours, à 16h00, arrive, entre dans le temple, en fait le tour, suivi par des nuées d'enfants, puis à la sortie bénit les fidèles (et les touristes!) en passant sa trompe sur leur tête, après avoir transmis le billet donné par les fidèles et les autres à son propriétaire.

Beaucoup d'affluence dans le quartier de ce temple.
A son entrée, réservée aux locaux, un éléphant caresse la tête des passants en échange de quelques roupies qu'il remet à son propriétaire.
