Vinayaka Chaturti Special

Here is the month of Lord Ganesh which is one of my favourite festival as the preparations for this festival would start 2 or 3 months before vinayaka chaturti.The pandals,big big idols,now a days this is not only a popular festival it has become even a very important economic activity :) for many cities mumbai,bangalore,hyderabad,chennai etc.,

Here in hyderabad,Khairathabad Ganesh Idol is one of the tallest idol averaging upto 50 feet isn't it great and awesome,I don't miss visiting this place every year,lakhs of devotees visit daily for 12days event of ganesh utsav.On 12th day we sat tata bubye to this huge ganesh idol will be immersed with large cranes in Hussain sagar lake.

Not only at Khairatahbad each and every lane in Hyderabad, Ganesh idols are installed in a colorfully decorated mandapas by devotees. My family and friends visit as much as mandapas we can :),here is our Ganesh which is installed in our apartment :)
