Located opposite Lonavla lake, the house is not just a treasure-trove of handcrafted furniture and quirky clocks, but also a veritable museum of Ganesha murtis, all created by the couple, and a testament to the role the elephant god has played in their lives.

Rajkumar Goel dabbles in many arts: woodwork, handicrafts, and metal work and poetry, to name a few. He is also a specialist in making Ganesha idols, like this glass murthi.

The Goel’s Lonavala residence has a small store that resembles the original one they set up in Mumbai in the 1990s.

Among the Goel’s collection of Ganeshas are one-inch popcorn Ganeshas, which are made out of fibre.

The newest addition to the Goel’s Ganesha collection is this Ganesha sitting on a swing.
