September
The rain begins to somewhat ease up, but with temperatures still relatively high
throughout southern India the moisture-filled air can create a fatiguing steam-bath-
like environment.
Ganesh's Birthday
In August or September Hindus celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi, the birth of the elephant-
headed god, with verve, particularly in Mumbai. Clay idols of Ganesh are paraded through
the streets before being ceremonially immersed in rivers, tanks (reservoirs) or the sea.
