Importance of a "Day"

What is the importance of a day?
Why do we have Birthday only on the same day every year?
Why do we get New YearDay every year on the same day?
Why do we celebrate a particular festival, be it related to any religion on a "particular" day every year?

Dont get scared with my questions, I know these are very stupid questions, but "some" people in Bangalore doesnt seem to understand them.
I hve seen it last year and the years before too, but "Ganesha Festival" can come at any time of the year in Bangalore.
It might surprise people who are new to Bangalore or havent seen Bangalore.
I have seen a Ganesh immersion yesterday and today I have seen two major traffic jams near Koramangala because of this "untimely" celebrations.

I couldnt understand the sanity of the minds of people celebrating Ganesh festival now.
I really felt like playing "Holi" with them all of sudden

PS: Comments were not being recorded suddenly for some wierd reason. I seem to have fixed that, I have added a test comment to my previous post. Please feel free to add comments :)

Lepakshi-Painting-Crop


Lepakshi-Painting-Crop, originally uploaded by SrikanthT.

This is a heavy cropped image of the previous photo taken at Lepakshi depicts the fine details of the clothes worn by people. This is a herbal painting done on the roof Lepakshi temple which is almost 500 years old. I am amazed with the impeccable record of the civilisation which existed at that time, which even produced a variety of clothing
An another important feature is the kind of head gear worn by the men in the paintings. An undoubted record of Vijayanagara dynasty. You can find the same kind of head gear being worn by all the members of Vijayanagara Dynasty in all their records(Paintings and sculptures) be it Hampi or Lepakshi or other places like Chandragiri near Tirupati etc.

As mentioned by Kousik Lepakshi cannot be complete without explaining about the paintings it is famous.
A painting on the roof of Lepakshi temple.
It is quite surpsrising that such delicate painting could be made on the roof. This would have taken a lot of time(may be years) to complete the paintings. No wonder they stll mesmerise people after 500 years
