Perhaps this is the costliest Ganesha in the world as of now. The diamond merchants and workes in Surat have installed a Ganesha with gold and diamonds.
The hands, the mukut of Ganesha were made of real gold and diamonds were studded on them. It is a combination of plaster of Paris gold and diamonds. The garlands are also made of diamonds and it is costing at Rs 600 crore it is reported. It is attracting worldwide attention.
But one thing is that the Ganesha would be retained and it is not for NImajjan. If it all Nimajjan has to be done it would be after taking away the gold and the diamonds it is reported. The Ganesha is attracting a large number of crowds and that it has been insured for safety as it is made of some gold and studded with diamonds. The lighting is in such a fashion that the diamonds are shining and giving a reflection.
Even the Lal Bagh ka raja of Mumbai is also attracting huge crowds and VVIPs like Ambani and other film stars are also coming to have the darshan of Raja as usual. Harathi and Prasadam are going on a regular basis. People are giving garlands of the currency of Garlands to Raja.
