Water is very precious in India (esp in rural India) – sometimes as precious as milk – especially in the months March-June.

I think it’s best not to comment adversely on anybody’s religious practices (as long as they don’t violate others’ rights), however tempting and valid it may be.

The festival etc is very cool but I couldn’t handle the wastage. Why can’t they just stick with maybe water and flowers and actually give the milk etc to the poor? I suppose that I have seen too much wastage due to festivals etc like this to actually look beyond the obvious…
