Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrations: Day 4 | Ganpati Pandal Darshan | Eco-Friendly Ganesha.

Hail to thee of auspicious form,
whose head is crowned with a garland of stars...
I adore thy trunk flung up straight in the joy of the dance,
so as to sweep away the clouds...
Destroyer of obstacles,
I worship thy snake adorned body...
the treasure house of all success.

~ Kathasaritsagara

Amid dhols and drums, on the 7th day of the festival
the Ganesha alongwith His mice army will be immersed in a
man-made tub of water right outside the pandal.

P.S.: This year, come along with me for Ganesh Pandal darshan from Mumbai on My Yatra Diary... visiting the very friendly Ganesha, peeping into one pandal each day.

  7. This theme is so different. The Murti is created so brilliantly and artistically that it's hard to guess, it is created by paper pulp. :)

  10. Wonderful. I am so stunned to see these giant beautiful sculptures of Lord Ganesha decorated so gracefully. Thank you for sharing. People should use eco-friendly Ganesha such as Water Purifying Ganesha and Fish Friendly Ganesha as much as possible to save the nature.
