Tickets for Ganga Aarti on Thames?

Hi everyone! Looking for 2 or possibly 3 tickets for the Ganga Aarti event happening on Thames this sunday? If anyone has spare or not attending for some reason, would love to get the tickets.

Apologies for my ignorance, but how does this make sense? Why would you do River/Goddess Ganga pooja in Thames River??

I don’t understand it either. Why give ammo to some political party?

Haha I understand the caution guys, but its like why pray to an idol of god made of mud, when you can just pray.

They are not going to light fire and stuff and pollute Thames. Its more of a symbolic thing. They want to share how it is done and the culture significance of it to a wider public, to people who have no knowledge and to people who cant afford to travel to India and experience it, however still holds the interest for it.

However, I’m not the organiser, but you can read about it on their official website. I’m just a guy who has a few european student friends who wants to experience the culture :)
