This summer, like every summer, Anand Mela was hosted in Redmond. It’s hosted every year by a temple called ISKCON. The temple, or mandir, as it’s called in Marathi is devoted to Lord Krishna. We started going since 2020, at first to check it out, and then for every Indian festival. They hold a ton of events, and they even have volunteering there. I used to go during covid times to help out with their prasad, which is the food they offer to the deities and then gets served to all the people who came to pray. A lot of kids my age and I served people the prasad.
