I had only one day leave, that too in the middle of the week. My native being 400 kms away from Bangalore and no train tickets, I thought I'd skip this year. To hell with everything, this is my favourite festival and I get to catch up with cousins. Took a leave on Tuesday to travel. No regrets whatsoever. For some reason I love this festival since childhood! Here are some pics.

We don't buy from market rather my Mom uses "pilli mitti" to build the idol.

Thanks! Takes about 2 hours to make, will probably be much faster if you have practice.

Ganapati Bappa vibes: Our society every year does the combined Ganapati placement (pratishtan) and a mass emersion is also done at society pond itself. All resident can also perform visarjan provided they have the Eco- friendly Ganapati. The celebration continues for 10 days, 2 times aarti each day, evening fun games, kids competition and lastly followed by Mahaprasad. Overall the society becomes much happening place in these 10 days. Many new faces are also acquainted.

Here is our little eco-friendly Ganapa

Bringing Bappa home is one of my most enduring and repetitive memories from childhood. For many years this tradition suffered a hiatus in my life due my relocations. That was unfortunate. But ever since I have become a Mumbaikar, I have felt completely at home here in no small part due to Ganeshotsav. Unlike other households, our Bappa has always been made out of clay. So, home immersion + house plant watering is how it goes.

Also every year, our Bappa has always been small; no more than 6" or 7" high. So, this year, I decided to give Him some visual treatment to make him look life-size in the pictures.

A big thank you to my kids who served as my lighting crew. This is a tradition that I hope to pass on to them and their families.

Cheers

Ganpati Bappa Morya 🙏
My Bhabhi Ji in relation brought Bappa at her home in Bangalore. She video called me and gave me the chance to seek blessings of Bappa. I and my better half felt really special.
Thanks Bhabhi Ji

Ganesh Puja at my home. The small clay statue is created by my daughter and we did the home visarjan. My tyre-table also got good attention when I posted those pics on Whatsapp. The tyres were from my Fiesta.

Bappa at our home this year

We started bringing Bappa home since last 3 years and my wife and I feel very sad when Bappa leaves at end of the third day. And then we look forward to welcoming Bappa next year!

Here is ours. We perform the puja for the same idol every year.
