Harsha Khandeparker aka Rajshri of Hum Dono Hain Alag Alag the so called “Not so cool girl” or bhenji of the serial shares some customs and rituals of eco-friendly Ganeshotsav which is celebrated at her native place-Goa.
Keeping in her mind the festivity of Ganeshotsav at her inhabitant, she shared each and every experience with us. “We have very different kind of celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi then what we usually see here. We don’t bring idol of lord Ganesh but instead of that make a natural idol with picture of Ganesh covered by banana leaves and then tie it in a shape of a pillow,” she explained.
As we talked further she also informed about the immersion pattern. “The Ganapati stays at home for only one and half day as it is made of all natural things which can decompose if kept for more days. It is not immersed but is kept in front of Tulsi plant (rang puja) and that’s all immersion is,” Harsha said. “Its all in natural way,” she concluded.
