We ask you, Dear Readers, to send us your Ganpati pictures!
Jyoti Kapade from Dombivli writes about her daughter, Khushi, who studies in Class 6 at the IES Chandrakant Patkar School:
'Ganesha has had a special place in our heart since childhood as the God with an elephant's face and cute little chubby child's body so she always prepares an eco-friendly Ganesha from clay and makes our environment pollution-free.
'Let's start good things from ourselves.
'This festival we are celebrating to make God happy.
'Can God become happy if we are doing such kinds of pollution in our environment?
'If everybody will think like this then we can easily preserve our tradition with the same essence and make India pollution free.
'We have experienced it now it's your turn!
