Here is another Ganapati from my neighbour's place, with Antarctica background. Every year they buy their Ganapati from Dadar and uncle says, Dadar market has the beautiful Ganapatis in the city and stand out from others,
And this wall hanging waterfall in their house always attracts me, which they have customized with an idol of Ganapati,
And few toys which attract my little one,
To end with this year's Ganesha Festival is this song by Shankar Mahadevan and my favorite, the song which is played in every pandal and FM radio channel during this festival week.
