It’s a very proud day for the Philadelphia Ganesh Festival devotees and our entire community! 🎉

One of our PGF founding members, Shri Mukundji Kute, has been honored with the prestigious Community Service Award by the PAN Asian Association. 👏👏

The Bharatiya Temple devotees and the wider community hold the Philadelphia Ganesh Festival very close to their hearts. The seeds Mukundji sowed over 23 years ago have now grown into a strong and vibrant tree, inspiring the next generation of devotees.

We are incredibly proud of this well-deserved recognition of his unwavering dedication, selfless service, and continued commitment to the community. His leadership and guidance have truly inspired us all. 🙏

We also extend our sincere gratitude to the Council of Indian Organizations (CIO) in Greater Philadelphia for nominating and recognizing Mukundji’s remarkable contributions and years of devoted service. 🙏

Congratulations once again, Mukundji, on this wonderful and well-deserved honor! 🌟
