My experience with Ganpati

Here is our experience with Ganpati, captured as Bappa sits adorned in bright purple fabric and elaborate gold ornaments. Strings of pearls and heavy golden necklaces drape across his lap, while his hands are raised in blessing. Garlands of orange, yellow, and red flowers frame the carved silver and gold arch behind him. This is how we welcomed Bappa and felt his presence with joy.
