My experience with ganpati bappa

This is our experience with Ganpati Bappa as we joined the gathering at the festive pandal. The large idol stands adorned in purple and yellow garments, holding a veena and a drum against a glowing painted backdrop of temples. Fresh yellow garlands decorate the pillar alongside a framed portrait, while visitors gather closely and take photographs. We sat right in front of the decorated stage amidst the warm colours and lively crowd. This is how we welcomed the presence of Bappa this year.
