Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla to perform 1st puja to 69-ft Bada Ganesh today
HYDERABAD: All arrangements were in place by Sunday evening for the 72nd Vinayaka Chavithi celebrations at Khairatabad, which are set to begin on Monday.
With the wooden scaffolding around the idol removed, this year’s 69-foot Panchamukha Sankatahara Maha Ganapati was revealed, with its five distinct faces. A 15-foot Somnath Jyothirlinga idol and a Kaalika Matha idol have been placed on either side of the main idol.
The entire structure has been made without Plaster of Paris (PoP), using natural clay and hay. The frame was made of steel, while water-based and eco-friendly colours were used for the idols.
