Dr Mrs Jayashree Arvind Dake from Kachiguda, Hyderabad, says “We keep Him in our puja room. We only do simple puja and natural decoration.

“We do not allow the decoration to supersede Dear Lord Ganesha and His charm.

“Lord Ganesha is so attractive that actually no decoration as such is required.

“Taking into consideration of pollution and global warming, we only use leaves, flowers, fruits and that too in smaller quantities.”

“Ganpati Bappa Morya!”

Thanks, Harsha :) Happy Ganesha festival to you and all our readers.

“I am enclosing my adorable Ganesha who is not going to be immersed but added to my collection of the last 25 years.”
