Like every year the Ganesh Chaturthi is being celebrated on a big scale in Hyderabad. The GHMC is planning ahead to see that the Nimajjan process is done in different areas so that there would not be any chaos and confusion at the Tank Bund where the main procession comes with thousands of idols for Nimajjan.
The NGOs, on the other hand, are already campaigning for mud Ganeshas in the name of Green Ganeshas to protect the environment and water bodies. Some are also campaigning to reduce the size of the idols. The festival is on 13nth of September and the idol makers at dhoolpet and other areas are getting ready for the sale of idols. Some people have already booked the idols.
This year the Ganesha idols are a little bit costlier. As usual, the Bada Ganesh at Khairatabad is getting ready but the height will be one foot lesser than that of the last year.
The local authorities have identified 23 pools in city for the Ganesh Nimajjan process. However, the Shobha Yatra of Nimajjan will be there after 10 days of Ganesh Chaturthi. The Police is also gearing up for the bundobust in city for Ganesh festival.
But before that, they have this TRS meeting on September 2 where about 25 lakh people are coming into the city from across the state. After this, they will have Ganesh Chaturthi. Forces from other states and other districts are being diverted to Hyderabad.
