Ganesh Chaturthi is a month away and the expert artisans are busy making and giving final touches to Ganesh idols, which will be worshiped in the festival.
The suburbs of Chinchpokli, Parel and Lalbaug in central Mumbai are the headquarters of all the workshops that work on and give finishing touches to the various idols, large, big and small.
I recently went for a photo walk in these areas with some like minded people.

Finished and adorned idols on display. The small ones are usually taken to homes and large ones are part of a group celebration.
