Ganapathi Idols of various sizes are ready for the Ganesh Chaturthi to be celebrated in the city from 10nth September. The NGOs are suggesting people go for Eco-friendly Ganeshas while the Basti leaders are competing in the height of Ganeshas.
The popular Khairabad Ganesh is almost ready and getting the final touches. The GHMC is clearing the lakes and Artificial tanks for the Nimajjan of the idols.
The Nimajjan starts from the third day itself. It is a 10-day festival and Shobha Yatra is scheduled for the 19nth of September. The police are making elaborate bundobust arrangements for the Shobha yatra.
The Ganesh Idols have become costly this year when compared to the last year. Last year there was no proper sale of Ganesh idols in the name of Corona.
Now the market is open and there are fewer restrictions. People are back from Corona to regular life and they want the celebrations to be done in a big way.
The Purohits who have had no proper business and marriages since last year has hiked their fee. They are charging around Rs 2500 for a small pooja.
The Satyanarayana Vratham Pooja is costing around Rs 3000 for hiring a Pujari.
