The Sarkars -- Bishakha, Sumanta and their son, Anubhav -- have been bringing Bappa home since 2000.

They used to live in Mumbai then.

They now live in Auckland, New Zealand, where they continue this beautiful tradition.

Dharmendra Jain from Lokhandwala, Kandivali East, in Mumbai says, ‘This is a paper-mache Ganesh murti we brought home in 2003. We worship Him every day as well as during all major festivals.’


Dear Readers, all have our own ways of welcoming the Vignaharta.

How are you celebrating Ganeshotsav this year? 

Have you brought Lord Ganesha home or will you be visiting Him at the residence of your family and friends?

If He is visiting your home, do you have a theme? Have you made the idol yourself?

Is there a favourite prasad you make for Lord Ganesha? Do share the recipe and pictures with us.

Will you go pandal hopping? Or do you have an unforgettable memory related to Lord Ganesha? We'd love to hear about it.

Please send your Ganpati 2024 pictures to getahead@rediff.co.in (Subjectline: My Lord Ganesha).

Do mention your Name and Where You Live. Do tell us Why Lord Ganesha has a special place in your heart.
