Ganesh Chathurthi

Today is Ganesh Chathurthi :) there was a time when I used to enjoy it so much, the school days when preparing for the mandap, getting new clothes, sweets and visiting the different mandaps in the city. The uniqueness of Sambalpur Ganesh Puja has been the different artistic creativity. Ganesh murtis in different sizes and shapes, different themes.A murti made of totaly coconuts, match sticks, 5 paise coins, ghee etc were the centre of attraction, and the festive season used to start with this, ganesh puja, then dushera and diwali. Today it feels like just another holiday, but neverthless holidsays are welcome :) no one complains about them I guess. So its time to enjoy with friends. Enjoy
