Livermore temple witnessed diwali of a different proportion on the night of Nov 5 th. The audience of well over 600 was lighted up with the blazing performances of BATA volunteers while the cheers from the audience served as the crackers on the festive night. The audience comprised of local bay area members as well as ardent supporters from far away places such as Los Angeles (300 miles), Merced (100 miles), Los Banos (100 miles), Berkeley , Concord, San Bruno, San Mateo etc. The traditional costumes, the fragrance of the flowers, the sumptuous food and the smiles on the faces of everyone gave an impression of one big happy family – as they say 'Vasudaika Kutumbam'.
The auditorium was very well decorated depicting the festive mood. The 'Muggu' art in the front of the entrance was stunning and very colorful. Created using vegetables like cabbage, spinach, red cabbage, flowers like roses and multicolored rice, the muggu was a treat to the eyes of aesthetic lovers. The registration and hospitality team, dressed in traditional wear,
ensured that the ticketing process was seamless and greeted the audience into the auditorium.
Despite the traffic problem on the way to the temple, the auditorium was packed by about 6:15PM. After the prayer song, the program kicked off with 'Radha-Krishna Ramaneeyam' where little kids in the age group of 6 months to 10 years dressed as Krishna and gopikas displayed their histrionics in a cute way.
