I missed the Indy figure, Mark! Is that his dad up on the hilltop as well? Sudha, the Ganpati Festival sounds well worth a look. Is there a specific time of the year that we should see it? I'm not surprised that cricket makes an appearance of course :-) Thanks guys. I missed the Indy figure, Mark! Is that his dad up on the hilltop as well?

But nothing can beat the Ganpati Festival in Mumbai, where Lord Ganesha appears in various avatars--playing cricket, in the Parliament, on the moon, on a camel ride in Egypt, on a Safari in Africa, etc. etc. The nativity cribs in India are no less creative, and are sometimes depicted with the Hindu Gods as well.

Indiana Jones makes an appearance in the second picture of No.4 Interesting camel, elephant, horse combo for three wise men (in same picture). Adam and Eve in Bunker 172, wired up to the Xmas lights.
