Australia Alludu, an Indian students’ association, organised a Ganesh Chaturthi celebration at Monash University’s Clayton campus in Melbourne. Telangana Agriculture Minister Niranjan Reddy and many local Members of Parliament participated in this ceremony along with hundreds of Ganesh devotees.
The organisers of the event Pallavi and Charan told The Australia Today that the need to respect Indian culture and promote a multicultural vibe in Australia inspired them to organise this event. They said: “This is the most incredible Ganesh Chaturthi celebration in Melbourne. We feel spiritually uplifted while attending the celebrations. The vibrant ambiance, colours, festive spirit, and coming together of the community are incredible.”
The organisers thanked Carina Garland MP for Chisholm, Julian Hill MP for Bruce, and Meng Heang Tak MP, State Labour Member of Parliament for Clarinda
The event attracted hundreds of devotees to witness a majestic five-foot eco-friendly idol of Ganesh that was specially made in Hyderabad, India, and resplendent with rich adornments, artistic décor, flowers, and fruit garlands.
In the presence of devotees and special visitors, the organisers conducted a Laddu Auction at the Ganesh Immersion. Through this auction, the organisers were able to raise $23,000. “By participating in such events, our children can learn about the rich Hindu culture, festivals and traditions. We would recommend all Indians in Australia to attend such celebrations in their area and support the organisers. As such events and celebrations are not possible without active volunteers,” the organisers said.
The organisers thanked Carina Garland MP for Chisholm, Julian Hill MP for Bruce, and Meng Heang Tak MP, State Labour Member of Parliament for Clarinda.
