Residents of Phoenix Quarters, in Temple Hill, performed ‘Ganesh Chaturthi’ with hundreds in Dartford turning up to take part for all 6 days which were from 2nd – 7th September 2019.

Almost 120 were present on Day 1 with home-cooked food by the resident families for all 6 days. On the last day, a short procession was carried out within the residents site followed by “Ganesh Immersion” reported Phoenix Quarter’s resident volunteer Krishna Pavan Challa.
