In India, the elephant Hindu Divine Elephant Festival Million Laidu ReverenceThe elephant god, a symbol of strength, longevity and intelligence, is a favorite animal of the Indians, and the elephant god who guards the elephants earns their most heartfelt respect.August 27 is the birthday of Ganesha, the elephant god of India, and pious Indians celebrate the elephant-headed deity with great fervor in Jaipur, in northern India.

Early in the morning, people danced traditional celebratory dances outside the temple of Ganesha, the elephant god. In addition to the singing and dancing, the people have to make a special food for Ganesha called Laidu. Laidu is somewhat like Chinese dumplings, which are flour-shoveled with sugar, coconut flour and oil, steamed, wrapped in banana leaves, and then offered to Ganesha's idol by everyone who sings devotional chants. Every year, so many laddus are placed in front of Lord Ganesha's idol, and this year the number of laddus is even more impressive.

Karash Sharma, a monk at the Ganesha temple, said, "This year is Ganesha's birthday and people have offered nearly 1.2 lakh, a Laidu to him and all the devotees of the Laidu have come back to the temple to offer the Laidu."
