Culture Vulture (#culturevulture) is a Steemit writing challenge initiated by @eroche. You may read here for more details and the latest update.
Culture Vulture for CNers is a cross-culture translation project in collaboration with @eroche and carried out by @deanliu and @ygern. We'll pick at least one article every week and translate it into Chinese, aiming to bring cultural diversity to the #CN community. All translated articles from this series will be published with permissions from the original authors.
《文化读瘾．一周译报》是一个翻译行动，我们每周将至少精选一篇来自 #culturevulture 的文章，经原作者同意后翻译成中文，以 #cn-culturevulture 标签刊出，希望把这些有趣、多元的内容透过我们认真的筛选与精细的翻译，带到cn社区人面前呈现，拓展视野、丰富生活。
象神迦尼萨之日
Original title: Tuesday : Lord Ganesh Day
Authored by @bindu, translated by @ygern
混杂的宗教与文化景观，是尼泊尔印度教信徒生活中的一部分。尤其在加德满都这样的小城市，各个种姓、文化、宗教信仰的人都居住在这里。世界文化遗产如帕舒帕蒂纳特庙（Pashupati）、斯瓦扬布纳特寺（Swoyambhunath）、巴克塔普尔王宫广场（Bhaktapur Durbar Square）等等，都坐落在加德满都。在这里，我们会看到许许多多的寺庙，以及大量前来朝圣的人群。
这三年以来，每个星期二都是我的斋戒日。这是遵循母亲给我的建议——为了我的健康与财富，她认为我应该履行斋戒。我们在这一天祭拜象神迦尼萨（lord Ganesh）。据说，供奉象神最好的水果，是香蕉。
今天，一大清早我就到了象神庙。祭司和信徒早已挤得水泄不通。纯洁无邪的白鸽让寺庙的氛围变得更欢愉。许多人忙着给鸽子喂食玉米和谷粒。
