Manache Ganapati of Pune

5 'Manache' ganapati mandals are part of Ganeshotsav tradition started by Bal Gangadhar Tilak to bring society together as a whole.

On friday, me and friends visited these pandals amidst pious people packed streets to offer our prayers.

It was the last day of 10 day ganpati fest and streets were blocked for vehicles and volunteers were in place to manage the human traffic that has poured itself out to get 'darshan' of Lord Ganesha.

We made our way to the first Ganapati of honor.

This is how sunset looks from Birla Temple....

i was going though my picture galleries randomly when came across these beautiful shots of sunset taken by me when i had paid a visit to Birla Temple last march. Birla temple is in Bhopal, India.

The Temple is situated at a height from where one gets a breathtaking view of whole city including upper lake.
