Kandivali-based couple Rajneesh and Sheetal Shapariya say, "We have beautifully decorated our Lord Ganesha idol in a white silk dhoti and a vibrant purple-and-golden jari pheta (turban), adorned with pink flowers."
They say the festive setup is complemented by colourful floral arrangements and traditional metal artefacts displayed on either side, adding an elegant touch to the decor.
Koparkhairane-based couple Professor Ravindra and Manisha Patil, who have been welcoming Lord Ganesha into their Navi Mumbai home for the past 19 years, chose an apple-tree concept for this year's celebrations.
"Our festive installation features fresh apples suspended from branches to form a lush green canopy above the deity, bordered by bright floral accents, traditional brass lamps, and sacred offerings that weave natural elements into their devotional decor," says the couple.
