In a special addition to this year’s celebration, the organizers are also planning to install an idol of Lord Ram, modeled after Ayodhya's Ram Lalla, enhancing the spiritual experience for devotees.

The construction of this eco-friendly Ganesh idol is expected to cost around 90 lakh rupees. The project involves more than 100 artisans from across Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh, showcasing a rich blend of artistic talent from different regions.

Ganapati Bappa Morya.
