Ganesha, 2010!!

Most celebrated festival of pune!! Since last 3 years i'm witnessing it...i'm loving this crazy crowd!!

woke up at 11 a.m, grabbed my cam and went out of my apartment. I just love those stalls selling Ganpatis'!! They are made up of plaster of paris and wonderfully painted!! Decided to capture those colors in my cam!


I think i captured this well!
I love this thing about Ganesha ; Some standing, some sitting, some playing musical instruments, you find them in different moods like happy, puzzeled, mischevious, calm, annoyed or simply graceful!!

Few more statues!! Noticed colors have come out so nicely?

I took the permission from stall wala guy to take some snaps. He happliy agreed. While i was clicking dem, he didnt say anything. After sometime, he brought b'ful ganesha in sunlight from his special collection and asked me to take his snap. "madam yeh sabse accha murti hai ganesh ka, eska photo mikalo"(this is the best one i have, take the snap of it)!! i was glad.

I said thank you for being so nice without the slighest thought of what's going on his mind. he asked me so innocently "madam yeh newpaper me anne wala hai kya?? " (is it gonna get published in newspaper). I just smiled. After a second of pose, i said No, it's just to share with some friends :) I hope i could have said YES!!!

His kid! thought i would take print of this and give it to him! but next day, stall disapeared :(
Ganesha Prasad :)
