Yearly ritual - early morning tour of prominent Ganesh pandals - मानाचे गणपती - in #Pune with @anvaya. The atmosphere has to be experienced. Amazing energy, very disciplined crowd and faith all around. गणपती बाप्पा मोरया!! 🙏 <Thread>
Kasaba Ganapati - कसबा गणपती - ग्रामदेवता. #azadikaamritmoahotsav theme.
Tambdi Jogeshwari - तांबडी जोगेश्वरी
Guruji Talim - गुरुजी तालीम
Bhau Rangari - भाऊ रंगारी - the Ganesh idol was created bearing arms to indicate resistance against British. The residence of Bhai Rangari saheb is restored beautifully as well.
Tulashibaug - तुळशीबाग - iconic place in Pune and my personal favorite idol.
Mandai - मंडई - central vegetable market. Must visit even otherwise if you want to experience farm fresh vegetables. Another iconic idol.
And the most popular Ganapati of #Pune - Dagadu Halwai - दगडूशेठ हलवाई - the idol has absolutely brilliant aura. The lines are never ending for the darshan.
Please look out for pictures from @anvaya. She has the most beautiful pictures of the tour.
Completing the thread with Kesari wada - केसरी वाडा. Couldn't visit here.
