"The Awaited Arrival" // In the days leading up to Ganeshotsav, a beautifully crafted Ganesha idol waits patiently in a Mumbai workshop before joining the city's celebrations.
Aagman (Arrival) // As devotees carry Lord Ganesha to their pandals through Mumbai's busy streets, an elderly man pauses, fascinated by the magnificent idol, and captures the moment on his phone.
Nirop (Farewell) // On the final day, devotees immerse Lord Ganesha in the sea, marking the end of the ten-day celebration. It is an emotional farewell as days of joy, community, and togetherness come to a close. With heartfelt calls of “Come early next year,” they bid goodbye.
