25th July 2006 :: The day of Ganesha

In north India Tuesday is the day of hanuman but here in Bombay it is the day of ganpati or Ganesha. Given to me by an ex-colleague, this idol is made on a Supari (betel nut). Ganpati is the first god to be worshipped at any prayer ceremony and he was the first recipient of an organ transplant.
