It was packed, noisy, exciting and full of anticipation. It's not everyday that deities are installed. It's the day that Krsna is officially asked to please enter his arca vigraha form and after that he is fully present. What made the day even more special was that the Safari devotees got to witness the abhishek and the gurukulis led a rockin' kirtan!
After the abhishek was an appreciation ceremony in a huge pandal, followed by the first aarti offered to their Lordships. It was crazy! Devotees were so excited to get a better glimpse of the Lord that it became complete mayhem. Although it got a bit too much for some, it was amazing to see that despite the craziness the majority of devotees didn't take any offense or get upset but just accepted the fact that everyone was so eager to see the Lord. The aarti was then followed by a yummy prasadam feast served out to hundreds!
