CUETA, SPAIN, September 8, 2024 (Cuetaldia, Google translated from Spanish): Once again the Hindu Community of Ceuta celebrated one of its most joyful celebrations, the Ganesh Festival, part of the multicultural and traditional heritage of the city. It did so as usual, filling the streets of the center with joy and color, through which they paraded the figure of the God on a short route from the Hindu temple to Nelson Mandela Square. There, a spokesperson for the Hindu community, knowing that there were almost as many people from the general public joining in celebrating this event, briefly explained what Ganesh represents. Perhaps the most accurate summary was made a few years ago, when the festival began to become popular, by one of its main promoters, Premi Mirchandani, “He is the God of good vibes.” “For Hindus it is a very special celebration, as well as being the God of wisdom, He is also the God of intelligence, prudence, prosperity and good beginnings. Worshiped as the God of happiness and good fortune, patron of the arts, letters and sciences”. With this resume it is not surprising that He is “one of the most popular Gods of Hinduism.”
