We have been celebrating the Ganesh Festival in Chicago since 2016, and we were blessed to celebrate the festival and organize Maha-Prasad for the community of Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago and Praire Shores.

However, this time due to COVID, we have decided to keep the Ganesh festival a private affair. But, rather than accepting donations and offerings for the festival, we are going to help kids back in India.

I hope you reminiscent the time you spent with your brethren sharing maha-prasad, blessings, joy, laughter, a moment in peace and tranquility.

2020 has made us realize how many people sleep on an empty stomach and lack access to a basic necessity. As a good samaritan, we are trying to make an effort to touch as many lives as possible by sponsoring education and by providing meals to the under privilege kids.
We would love you to join hands and make a difference.

We plan on donating the money to small local schools in India and buy grocery and distribute among the households of daily wage workers.

Praire Shores Bappa goes online in Covid-19
With almost the whole world functioning virtually during coronavirus times, Ganpati Bappa will give online darshan during the upcoming festival due to the pandemic.

The Illinois Institute of Technology and the Prarie Shores community has showered Ganpati Bappa with love and affection, and we are grateful for the same.
However, this year we are facing unprecedented times due to COVID, but we knew in our hearts no matter what, we were going to welcome Bappa in our home. When contemplating, my thoughts went back to the fall of 2016, and it made me realized why we decide to bring Bappa to our home in Chicago. The festival celebrates Lord Ganesh as the God of New Beginnings, the Remover of Obstacles, the God of Wisdom, and Intelligence. And we need his blessing more than ever.

But keeping safety and health issues in mind, this year, we have decided to keep Ganesh festival a private affair, but we will be broadcasting aarti live on Facebook. We hope you would would shower us with same love and affection, hope to see you soon.
