06 SEPTEMBER 2018 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Indian men in the Ganesh workshop at Wat Witsanu Hindu Temple in Bangkok. Indian craftsmen are making statues of the Hindu deity Ganesha for the Ganesh Chaturthi, or Ganesh Festival, held at Hindu temples in September. All of the craftsmen, and the clay they use to fashion the statues, come to Thailand from India every year to make the statues. Although Thais are predominantly Buddhist, the Lord Ganesh, the Hindu overcomer of obstacles, is worshipped by many Thais and Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated in many Thai communities.
