Hyderabad Ganapathis

   I didnt expect that the Ganapathi festival is celebrated at such a large scale here. Owing to traffic jams, most of the schools, colleges and goverment offices are given holiday on the Ganesh Nimarjan day(happened to be yesterday). To add to my astonishment some of the software companies too declared the day as holiday, and my office was one among them!! Hurray!! I visited a few Ganapathis here including the Khairatabad Ganapathi which is supposed to be the biggest here. It was awesomely big (carefully look at the last image!!). The first two are Ganapthis installed in our colony. In the third photo its me and Madan.

I was there in Hbad previous year the same time. We are also excited, that we are going to warch Hbad's biggest ganapathi. We hired a cab and went there ... we found a place to park, we stopped the cab , but did not get down from it . Do you know why ?? Most of us did not want to put steps on the shit (actual shit) around. The foot path is full of crap, and stinking crap. I dont know how ganapathi overthere sat so long when the area around is so dirty. We are celebrating this festivals from centuries and we dont inderstand what " holy " is.


Nice pictures ....And the rest of the photo....
