We went to Pune festival, which was joint with the Ganesh festival, we were picked up by a bus (by organisers) and taken in through VIP entrance, we kind of felt like we were gate crashing but we were later told that the organisers know Sangam and so we were special guests. We were taken past a big drumming band, then had large flower garlands placed on us and the red dots on forehead! Then flowers thrown over our heads, we also realised we were being filmed and everyone was watching us on the big screen. It felt very strange, we weren't expecting it at all!
This was a Ganesh statue made of lots of men holding up pieces and dancing him around.

There was lots of singing and dancing on stage and many colourful costumes! Here are two clips, including some very well behaved horses who didn't even flinch with all the drumming and loud music! I was very impressed! It was a great night, but very strange, we saw other white people which we were all quite surprised at. We wondered if they had rounded up all the white people in town and put them in one place!
