Tree Ganesha


This year we got the eco friendly 'Tree Ganesha' home for the festival. Once done the idol disintegrates in the soil in a flower pot and saplings sprout up leaving you with a lasting memory of the Ganesha festival that commenced yesterday and will go on for 11 days.

Sarvajanik Ganesha


Sarvajanik (of the people, by the people and for the people) Ganesha in Bandra east. Locals have contributed towards the festivities including the cost of the idol. This happens all over Mumbai. It was started by Lokmanya Tilak in the 1890s as a means to unite people and mobilise them for the Indian Freedom struggle.
