New Year's Eve celebrations in Bangalore differ greatly depending on the people. The young middle and upper class may spend the evening in the city center at the street parties on Brigade and MG Road. The police have granted special permission for celebrations to last until 1am.
Some Hindus will hold special pujas to bring a fruitful year. Christians often hold all night prayer services, and Muslims generally do not observe or celebrate this holiday at all.
Regardless of how one spends this night, it brings us one year closer to the return of Jesus. Pray that 2012 would be a year of spiritual awakening in Bangalore. Ask God to pour out His Spirit on the many peoples, tongues and tribes living here and open their hearts to the Gospel. Pray that this would be the year of salvation for countless Bangaloreans.
