I was at the Cleveland Aradhana for the first time last week with my wife Kalpana and our son Parthiv Mohan. I have posted a whole bunch of photos from the festival for the days 10-13 April 2009 in Facebook (FB) albums which can also be viewed by non-Facebook users. Unfortunately, I couldn't cover all the events that took place even during the short time I was at the festival.
FB users will get to see photo captions, tags identifying people in the photos and comments made by other FB users. They will also be able to add comments and tags to identify more people. Non-FB users will only be able to see the photos and captions. They won't be able to see/add tags/comments. Here are relevant links.
