Ganesh Chaturthi emojis

Ganesha comes home as a clay idol for ten days and leaves as a procession headed for the water — the elephant here isn't standing in for wildlife, it's him. The long drum and folded hands carry the noise and the namaste of the visarjan march; the coconut and diya are for the smaller offerings made at the makeshift shrine in someone's living room. Modak is the one sweet everyone actually asks him for.
