Dr. Lal welcomes us to the ceremony as Ann Laird (Maha Lakshmi shop manager) and

We all had a good laugh when the ceremony was opened with an acknowledgement

"Welcome to Crestone" was announced after we'd had our giggles and
then an amazing experience of offerings were made to the havan. |

Here I am just a few days after Mundan. I kept my head shaved
that whole summer and got to learn quite a bit about myself.
