My Divine Connection with My Favorite Lord Ganesha!

 

The Times of India had published this write-up featuring my collection of Ganesh idols. 
My student had written it.

Some exquisite rangolis made by me with colors/flowers:

This rangoli pattern was copied from a rangoli book.

Taught by me during a craft workshop!

This Ganpati was copied from a photo frame

A design from a greeting card was filled in with make-up colors, turmeric and vermillion; by me.
Best out of waste!

A drawing with my husband Ramesh's name and my name (in Devanagari script) artistically incorporated into a Ganesha's image by a local artist at Saras Baug in Pune. This was gifted to me by my dear friend Jyoti Mulgundkar.

Some wall-hangings and photo-frames from my collection!

A rangoli book designed and published by me, containing my own rangoli creations!

Some of the Ganeshotsav decorations at home:

Goddess Laxmi's puja!

Some paintings made by my father, Sri Ramesh Sharma. Sometimes he would create his own designs, at other times, copy them from elsewhere and recreate the magic.

Lord Ganesha's images created by me on my PC! 

Some exquisite idols from my collection!

I have also been making scrap-books with hundreds of newspaper and magazine cuttings related to Lord Ganesh and Ganeshotsav. It is a work forever in progress...

I have some key-chains too, with varied figures of Lord Ganesh!

Ganpati Bappa Moraya, Mangal Murti Moraya!
