Geeta Sharma and Hansa Muni Oral History

Identifier: aql:20665

Description: Geeta Sharma and Hansa Muni are friends who came across the street from the Hindu Society's senior center after their meeting to speak with Natalie Milbrodt in the basement of the Ganesh Temple where they could find some quiet. They discuss their involvement with the temple's activities and some of the community's customs. Both women say the neighborhood has changed a great deal since they first started coming to the temple. There are fewer Indians and fewer stores where they can get items they want, but both women say they feel very safe in the neighborhood. Geeta asked to not have her photo taken, but Hansa's portrait was taken on September 12th, 2010 on the day of the Ratha Yatra, which she describes at the end of this interview.
