Ganesh Chaturti the beginning of festivals, which is also a big commercial activity in Mumbai. Huge pandals are erected right in the middle of lanes creating inconvenience and traffic jam for everybody. But surprisingly it becomes a part of the routine and people passby without a word. Huge donations are collected in the name of Ganesh puja, have any of us wondered what happens to the money collected through offerings, which people blindly offer while praying. Is it put for any social purpose or ?
Instead of having so many pandals, if collectively it could be done only in a few handful places wouldn't it save the inconvenience? Also people could enjoy the festival and the purpose of this public gathering without causing inconvenience. Though some of the idols, themes and decorations are extremely beautiful, one tends to miss viewing them as they are too many in numbers and scattered everywhere.
