#GaneshChaturthi has been quite the affair at our household from as long as I can remember. What started in 1935 as a celebration to mark the birth of my grandfather, has gone on for 84 years. Home-cooked food has remained an integral aspect of these day-long festivities.

(1/n) The #GaneshChaturthi pooja, amongst other things, involves a #food offering (नैवेद्य/naivedya).

It started with around 5 items in the first year and an item was added every couple of years. This number bumped up to 32 in1985 and has remained the same ever since. 🍛🍚🥗🥘🥗🍲

I've intended to do this for a while - a thread on Indian #penandink artists of the yore; some of them, a big influence on my own #art. Starting with the legend that is #Namboothiri. 🖋️ Satyajit Ray, 1921-92 (yes, the very same).
