What is the "Donate" button (Menu bar) for?

The "Donate" button supports our effort to replace our current Durga Idol, which has been with us for over 13 years. We hope to give the existing idol a respectful new home—potentially through donation to a museum—while welcoming a new idol for our future celebrations. Thanks to your generous support last year, we've raised a little over €950, but we still need over €2000 more to reach our goal. We seek additional financial support to help us achieve our goal quickly. Also, your donation is eligible for tax deduction.
