Sunday, Paris's Indian and Sri Lankan community celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi, the ten-day festival that begins today honoring Ganesha, the Hindu god known as the Remover of Obstacles, both material and spiritual. Here, during the three-hour procession, women pulling one of the chariots holding a statue of the god wait for the parade to advance. Photo by Danielle Voirin.
