Indian Wedding Same Day Edit // Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago
Same Day Edit of an Indian wedding at Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago (Lemont, Illinois), Drury Lane (Oak Brook, Illinois), and Waterford Banquet Center (Elmhurst, Illinois). More info. on our blog:
When I first meet with Seema and Amit to talk about filming their wedding, they told me about their ceremony location, which was the Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago in Lemont, Illinois. I started to think of how cinematic this location was. We've filmed outdoors at the Temple in the past, but never inside any of their buildings. Most people around Chicago have seen the Temple-either driving by it or in photos. It's an amazingly beautiful structure.
We brought in the camera crane to capture some aerial views of the baraat (groom's procession) and exterior shots of the Temple. I believe this is the first wedding we've filmed, which included rituals from the Konkani culture. Each time we film an Indian wedding, the beautiful traditions remain as a centerpiece to the wedding day, which continues to be our focus of the trailer and wedding films we produce.
Throughout the two days of filming their wedding events, our crew of 9 worked seamlessly to put together a Same Day Edit trailer and show it at their reception to over 600 guests on two large 9′x12′ projector screens. The crowd watched in amazement as we included portions of the Sangeet, Baraat, Wedding Ceremony, and Reception in the trailer. It was a true highlight of the evening!
Seema and Amit, thank you for asking us to film your beautiful wedding events. We enjoyed meeting your family and friends. This will be a wedding and a couple we won't forget...

Father Bash in Lemont IL
Father Bash Foundation, a non-government organization, started its journey in the late 1980s with its focus on children who had been orphaned due to the Aids scourge which had gulfed Uganda, most of these children had also been born with the virus and completely abandoned by relatives and friends of the family. Also was the influx of refugees from neighboring countries of the Congo, Rwanda and Burundi due to the internal conflicts which were unending, thousands of persons were pouring in through the borders every day, with the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 the crisis escalated, children were in total disaster, no parents, no one to look after them because the family units had disintegrated and many had passed on ,Children were abandoned loitering in villages and towns of Mbarara, Kabala, Ntugamo, Isingiro areas, kamwezi, kisoro and Bushenyi Districts.
MISSION:
The mission of the foundation was geared towards providing shelter, food, cater for education and health status and this could only be monitored closely by enrolling them into schools and make sure they do have health care nearby. However the schools were in shambles mostly owned by government very squeezed with very poor amenities due to the political instability in the 70s and 80s therefore the need to build schools and health care centers for these disadvantaged children was evitable.
The central and most accessible town by then was Mbarara District , it also had an added advantage because its home to Nyamitanga Archdiocese which is the Home to the founding member, the most Reverend Father John Baptist Bashobora, it made it an ideal location because even spiritual counseling was much needed, given that massacre incidents in Rwanda occurred even in churches.
STATUS:
The foundation with support from the local and international community has managed to build facilities including secondary schools,, babies home, places of worship, vocational school, hospital based in the districts of Mbarara, Ntungamo and ibanda. However completion of some of these projects has been on standstill, some are dilapidated, others lack essentials and proper human resource due to lack of funds. The services are much sought for considering the growing population in the area with very high poverty levels living on 1 dollar a day per person, the high prevalence of HIV, lack of government support services and increase of the dry season leading to famine and scarcity of food.
The buildings in most of the schools are very wanting, very old, lack proper facilities like laboratories, lavatories, bathrooms, proper classroom, boarding facilities, dinning area, drainage facilities, Libraries and good functional kitchen.

MORE INFO ON THE TEMPLE from wikipedia :
he Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago (HTGC) is a Hindu temple complex in Lemont, Illinois, established in 1977. The complex includes two separate temples:
Rama Temple, which includes Sri Rama, Sita and Lakshmana, Lord Ganesha, Sri Hanuman, Lord Venkateshwara (Balaji), Mahalakshmi, Sri Krishna, and Radha.
Ganesha-Shiva-Durga Temple, which includes, Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, Durga Devi, Lord Subrahmanya, Devi Parvathi, Nataraja, Ayappasamy and Navagraha.
In addition, there is a separate Spiritual Center, named after Swami Vivekananda. The Swami Vivekanada Spiritual Center, which houses RITU Meditation Center, serves as a venue for many spiritual activities, including meditation, yoga classes, and spiritual lectures.
Adjoining the Vivekananda Spiritual Center, on Vivekananda Hill, a hillock in the temple campus, is a 10-foot tall bronze statue of Swami Vivekananda, modeled after his photograph taken in Chicago after his appearance at the World's Parliament of Religions in 1893. It is the first statue of Vivekananda to be installed in a public place in the United States of America.[1]
நாம எல்லோரும் காலையில் எழுந்து தலைக்கு எண்ணெய் வச்சு குளிச்சு சாமி கும்பிட்டு பலகாரம் எல்லாம் படைத்தது தீபாவளி டிவி நிகழ்ச்சிகள் ஒண்ணு விடாமல் வரிசையா பார்த்து அப்புறம் கறியும் வகை வகையா உணவும் சமைச்சு வயிறு நிறைய சாப்பிட்டு பட்டாசு வெடித்து அமர்க்களமான தீபாவளி கொண்டாடி முடிச்சாச்சு. சரி அமெரிக்காவில் இருக்கிற நம்ம மக்கள் எப்படி தீபாவளி கொண்டாடறாங்கன்னு தெரிஞ்சுக்கலாம் வாங்க.
விடுமுறை இல்லை:
தீபாவளி அன்று விடுமுறை எல்லாம் கிடையாது பாஸ் இங்க. அதனால் காலையில் குளியல் முடித்து சின்னதாக ஒரு பூஜையை முடித்து விட்டு காலையில் பள்ளி ஆபிஸ் என்று ஓட்டம் எடுத்து விட்டு மாலை தான் ஆரம்பிக்கிறது கொண்டாட்டம் எல்லாம்.
அழகாக ஒரு குடும்பம் :
மாலையில் எல்லோரும் சேர்ந்து பூஜை செய்து முடித்து விட்டு வகை வகையான உணவுகளோடு வீட்டிற் விட்டு கிளம்புகிறார்கள். எங்கன்னு கேட்கறீங்களா.சொந்தங்கள் அருகில் இல்லா இவர்களுக்கு எல்லாம் நண்பர்களே சொந்தங்கள் ஆகிறார்கள். குறிப்பிட்ட இடங்களில் கூடி தாங்கள் செய்த அறுசுவை உணவு,பலகாரம் எல்லாம் கொண்டு வந்து பாட் லக் முறையில் பகிர்ந்து கொண்டு அழகாக ஒரு குடும்பம் போல கொண்டாடுகிறார்கள்.
பாரம்பரிய உடைகள்:
கட்டாயம் அன்று எல்லோரும் மேலை நாட்டு உடைகளுக்கு டாட்டா சொல்லி விட்டு சேலை, சுடிதார் என்று கலக்குகிறார்கள். ஆண்கள் வேட்டி குர்தா என்றும் குட்டிஸ் எல்லாம் கூட பட்டுப் பாவாடை,குர்தா என்று நம் ஊரு பாரம்பரிய உடைகள் அணிந்து கொண்டு ஜோராக வளம் வருகிறார்கள். அமெரிக்கா மக்கள் நம் உடையை பார்த்து வாவ் நைஸ் என்று சொல்லிவிட்டு தான் நிச்சயம் கடந்து போகிறார்கள். நான் செய்தது கொஞ்சம் நீ செய்தது கொஞ்சம் என்று சொல்லி மாறி மாறி பண்ட பலகாரத்தையும் பரிமாறிக் கொள்கிறார்கள்.
கம்பி மத்தாப்பு:
அது சரி வெடி வெடிப்பது எப்படின்னு கேக்கறீங்களா? சில அப்பார்ட்மெண்ட்ல கம்பி மத்தாப்பு மத்தாப்பு புஷ்வாணம் போன்ற லேசானவற்றை வெடிக்கலாம்.அவ்வளவு தானா என்றால் இல்லை. அந்த அந்த அந்த ஊரில் உள்ள ஹிந்து சென்டர் என்று சொல்லக் கூடிய பெரிய கோவில்களில் எல்லோரும் கூடி ஒரு கவுண்டர் ல பட்டாசு விநியோகம் பண்ணி அங்கேயே எல்லோரும் சேர்ந்து கம்பி மத்தாப்பு பட்ட்டாசு கொளுத்தி ஜாலியா கொண்டாடுறாங்க.
கலக்கலான வான வேடிக்கை:
அது மட்டுமில்ல தீபாவளி அன்றும் அந்த வார இறுதியிலும் கலக்கலான வான வேடிக்கை நடக்கிறது. நீங்களும் கண்டுகளிக்க அமெரிக்காவில் உள்ள சிகாகோ நகரின் முக்கியமான ஒரு ஹிந்து கோவிலில் கொண்டாடிய தீபாவளி வானவேடிக்கை வீடியோ இதோ உங்களுக்கு.
