Mom said Nikhil/Sidharth could give Ganesha a bath for Vinayaka chaturthi, if they shower and get dressed first. The brothers were ready by 10 a m. Which was rather early for a Sunday morning.
It was
patti who delayed the proceedings; she wasn't quite ready, with milk,honey,sugar,yogurt and ghee. Sidharth and Nikhil had to wait for the elders in the house,who appeared to take their time.
Sidharth and Nikhil could use a lollipop for time-pass. Besides,it helped silence the younger one, getting restless and wanting to get rid of his silk
dhothi. Sidharth no longer had any issues with going
desi on special occasions. In his younger days (when Sidharth was two-year old) he used to protest, saying he
preferred GAP to kurtha.
Speaking of going desi the brothers changed into glitzy shervani for a dinner outing at their friend Drhuv's place in Dublin. But then their thoughtful mom carried a change of clothes , for Sidharth/Nikhil couldn't wait to take off their dress after posing for this group photo.
Dhruv appears to have a jolly time with Sidharth.
At the puja Sidharth and Nikhil took turns in giving Ganesha a bath.Sidharth started it by pouring honey.Thick and sticky,honey wouldn't flow switftly; and Sidharth is helped along in giving Ganesha a honey shower,as Nikhil awaits his turn with uncharecterstic patience.
When it came to his turn to pour it on Ganapathy's head, Nikhil had it easy with sugar, and milk.Sidharth rounded off the bathing ritual with yogurt and ghee.
After the ritual bath of Ganapathy at puja room it was time to shower him at the kitchen sink.
Back at the puja room, Ganapathy is taken back to be dressed up and worshipped with offerings of flowers, before
managalarthi that marked the end of the rituals.
