'What a morning it was at Bugle Rock Park, Basavanagudi!' says Sneha KVL from Bengaluru.
'Our eco-friendly Ganesha making event turned into something far more than we imagined. Families, children, and even passersby joined in -- some had traveled all the way from Hoskote, Mysuru and even Coimbatore after seeing the article in the Deccan Herald.
A few stories stayed with us:
An elderly gentleman stopped his morning walk, registered on the spot and shaped his first clay Ganesha.
A lady from Coimbatore, here on a casual walk with her friend, joined in and left with a smile and an idol in her hands.
A couple waiting after the abhisheka at the Dod Ganapati Temple stumbled upon the event.
'For three hours,' says Sneha 'the park was alive with clay and laughter. What touched us most -- not a single participant looked at their phone. Everyone was present, immersed and connected.
'We are humbled by the encouragement and our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made it special.'
