It is a very colorful time right now. Sunday was Krishna's birthday and soon it will be Ganesh Chaturthi - a festival to celebrate Lord Ganesha's birthday. Large clay statues of Ganesha are for sale all around the city, painted in bright, festive colors, some as high as 12'.
People, neighborhoods and schools buy these statues for the festival, hold on to them for three days, then they are put into a lake. In Bangalore, they are put into Ulsoor Lake. The statues are just baked clay and pigment so they are degraded by the lake "easily."
