Meet Your God

People take photos of an idol of elephant-headed Hindu god Ganesh, imitating anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare on hunger strike, on the first day of the 10-day Ganesh Festival in Ahmadabad, India. Idols of Ganesh will be immersed into oceans and rivers at the end of the Ganesh Chaturti festival. Placards in the background, left to right, read “Remove Inflation,” “Remove Terrorism,” “Remove Corruption” and “First Day of Fast.” (Ajit Solanki/Associated Press)
