My experience with ganpati

Here is my experience with Ganpati, showing our Bappa wrapped in thick garlands made of deep red rose petals. He sits in bright white attire, wearing a detailed golden crown with sacred marks upon his forehead. One hand is raised in blessing while he holds a sweet yellow modak in the other, as soft incense smoke drifts around him. This is how we welcomed Bappa into our home this year.
