Amidst the colorful garlands of flowers and pooja items in the chariot was a statue of Lord Vishnu. In Hindu religion, Vishnu is considered the Supreme God. He is considered the preserver and sustainer of life. During the 10-day festivity, this statue was dressed in different elegant clothes on each day. The temple on my street is dedicated to Vishnu.

I'm really blown away by the colors! I can imagine scents of curry and incense, too. Am I right? I'll probably be around on the weekend sometime to Skype!
And don't forget that according to Vedas, there are 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu -remember the famous saying chennai people always spit out "Dasavatharam"?
Lord Vishnu is believed to be the Lord of Creations.
