This ganesh shrine sits in front of our guest house (at the Sharnga guest house compound in the ‘green belt’ of the Auroville community).  The workers here offer candles, incense, and flowers to ganesh in the evenings.  (The small evergreen trees surrounding ganesh are Norfolk Island pines, the kind of tree that my family used as a Christmas tree when I was a kid.)
