Mrs SALLY QUINNELL (Camden)—On Saturday 24th September I had the privilege to attend the Ganesh Festival Camden. The Ganesh Festival is a time when the community comes together to celebrate the birth and life of Lord Ganesha. Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity, is the remover of obstacles and the harbinger of wisdom and prosperity. The festival was a true testament to cultural richness and unity throughout the local community as the festival showcased the beauty of Hindu traditions and heritage. I would particularly like to acknowledge the SouthWest Telegu Association, for hosting this wonderful festival. Their vision reflects a commitment to promoting and preserving Telegu culture and heritage while embracing the vibrant multicultural community in South-Western Sydney. The President, Mr Vijay Medidi, the Vice-President Mr Rajesh Mummaneni, the secretary Mr Kishore Ranga and the Treasurer Mr Suresh Raavi have all sone a terrific job in the short time since founding SouthWest Telugu to put on this event for the wider community. It was fantastic to attend the Ganesh Festival Camden, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I look forward to next year's festival.
