The residents of the eighth lane of Khetwadi welcomed their 35-feet Ganesh idol on Monday. What's unique about this idol is that the Ganesha idol is wearing a ‘Nauvari saree’ with green bangles, gajar, traditional ornaments, and has a Trishul in hand.

Nilesh Shridhankar, secretary of the eighth lane at Khetwadi Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal, said, “This is the 59th year of our mandal. With an aim to make the festival celebration bigger and with a theme of women empowerment, we decided to install an idol of Vinayaki Devi.”
