As the City celebrates the festival of Ganesha, the Lord’s idols have become the cynosure of all eyes. Every street has rows and rows of Ganeshas, in various sizes and forms, making it difficult for devotees to pick their favourite. The remover of obstacles, Ganesha is hugely popular in Namma Bengaluru, and the festival itself is marked with the umpteen number of mantaps that have sprung up. Ganesha is also known to inspire creative thinking, and this is evident in the various shapes that modern Ganesha has taken. From Ganesha holding a laptop, a six-pack Ganesha, Ganesha handling the political talk to Ganesha holding the moon, you will find that Ganesha is indeed in tune with the times. Eco-friendly Ganeshas and reclining Ganeshas rub shoulders with the ever- popular traditional Ganeshas telling stories from our mythology. And catching the fancy of the young and old. Metrolife takes you on a tour of the City to see the many faces of the Elephant-God.
