Students Visiting Hindu Temple Diwali in Fresno

 
[2024.11.03] To witness this year's festival of Diwali, the pan-Indian festival of light, Professor Howard, Professor Rosenhagen, and some students visited the BPAS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir on 8105 N. Maple Ave. Students witnessed a fire ceremony [aarti], marveled at the decorations and the food donations [some of them intricately carved], were introduced to the various murtis [statues of divine figures as well as statues of the founder of this particular sampradaaya [teacher-student lineage]], learned about various Hindu festivals that are being celebrated throughout the year through the help of displays set up in the temple and explained by various Hindu students from the surrounding areas, and enjoyed an Indian meal. The visit was interesting and educational, the students were welcomed very warmly and much enjoyed the event. Special thanks to Shreya and Naakshi for taking such good care of us!
