We wish to share a few photos of our youth gathering on Pancha Ganapati at the Spiritual pf Mauritius on December 22. Youth, mostly from our membership and those attending one of the regional Saivite Hindu Religion classes of the island attended the event. Here is sishya Poshan Munian performing an arati to Lord Pancha Mukha Ganapati before the activities start.

Sishya Sivarathna Manick does the presenting for the first part of the program.

Kulapati Amba Valaytan, our most senior Kulapati present is invited to welcome our guests and say a few words about the event.

The first item is a song on Lord Ganapati by some of the SHR students from the Rempart region class.

All parents present are seated in the tent while activities go on on the steps of the Mandapam.
