ORISSA, INDIA, September 2, 2003: Heavy rains and floods in Orissa this year did not deter children from celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi. The festival is usually celebrated with much enthusiasm by students seeking Lord Ganesha’s blessings for success in their studies. “Our school is flooded with water. So we decided to have the puja by the roadside,” said one student. Ninety percent of the students couldn’t attend school, but the small and less elaborate puja gave those present a reason to cheer and celebrate.
