Christmas in September!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree... - sing with me now!

Earlier this week was Lord Krishna's birthday. (a.k.a. Janmastimi) He was an incarnation of Vishnu. Thousands of pilgrims came through Pilani on the way to some temple or another. (Sorry- I forget the name of the temple. I also forget how many pilgrims came through - but it was a lot so be very impressed.) People in the community got together and set up a rest stop for the pilgrims at a local park. Visiting I got an chance to get inside the park (which is usually locked for some reason) and check out the rainwater harvesting system they have there.

Janmastimi has quite the Christmas feel - what with celebrating the birth of the incarnate god and the midnight mass er... um... I mean temple service. To top it all off there are Christmas lights! - or that is colored lights.

Check out the pictures!

I'm just upset that Lord Krishna didn't bring me anything. I so wanted a pony.
