my favorite festival in India -
Ganesh Chaturthi
Preparations begin months in advance, sometimes a whole year goes in designing the idol for the upcoming year. But rest can be assured of creativity hitting greater heights every single year.
This time on I have my friend
Mangesh Bhadye on board, sharing his pictures as he captures the festivals in its true element. See more of Mangesh's work on
his blog.
In a few days it will be time for the festivities, till then check out these pictures which will give you an insight into what goes into the preparations.
