Sunday was the birthday of the elephant looking deities, Ganesh. Around my apartment people carrying a statue of the Ganesh and banging on drums. I watched them form a circle and do a little dance around the statue. The paper showed a few large parades in the Delhi area.

I saw an elephant this morning on the drive to work. It was on the opposite side of the road and moving out. I also counted 16 people in an auto rickshaw that is meant to seat 2 comfortably. Plus the front seat was still open. The rickshaws are jammed pack in the mornings.

I also saw a tourist company have a weekend elephant polo event. It had a picture of a long polo club and a guy trying to hit the polo ball and another local person steering the elephant. I might have to give that a shot.
