Yup. That was the first time I saw Ganesha and his wives. My recent trip to Gujarat (6 holy-shmoly days) was a revelation in terms of cashing in on the "God" factor. Key takeaway: If you are a brahman, your path to moksha is assured if you do a 11K+ pooja at Dwaraka. Anything less, and you need to rely on your good karma. ~ashwin
