This Ganesh pandal's organiser, Sarav Kumar revealed that he got the idea of making this Aadhar card-themed pandal after visiting one in Kolkata, where a Facebook theme pandal had been made.
He said, "One time when I was visiting Kolkata, there, I saw a Facebook pandal. Since I also do Ganesh pooja, it came to my mind that I too should do something unique. Hence, I got the idea of this Aadhar card pandal.
The Ganesh Chaturthi festival is celebrated annually with great enthusiasm in India and thousands of devotees throng temples and 'Ganeshotsav pandals' to offer prayers.
This auspicious ten-day celebration, which commenced yesterday, starts with Chaturthi Tithi and ends on Anantha Chaturdashi. Devotees of Lord Ganesh, the god of wisdom and good fortune, mark his birth during the Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month. (with ANI inputs)
