Khetwadi Cha Mahaganpati,8th Lane
Nilesh Shridhankar, secretary of the 8th lane at khetwadi said, “This is the 59th year of our mandal. With an aim to make the festival celebration bigger and with a theme of women empowerment, we decided to install an idol of Vinayaki Devi."
The residents of the eighth lane of Khetwadi welcomed their 35-feet Ganesh idol on Monday. What's unique about this idol is that the Ganesha idol is wearing a ‘Nauvari saree’ with green bangles, gajar, traditional ornaments, and has a Trishul in hand.
Rajesh Poojari, archaeologist and an art conservator, said, “The Vinayaki goddess is known by names including Vigneshvari, Stri Ganesh, Ganeshani among others. Many people believe she is Lord Ganesha's feminine or Shakti form.”
