As the countdown to Ganesha Chaturthi celebrations, after two pandemic-hit years, begins, idol makers of Pottery Town are busy applying finishing touches to their creations. A wide variety of Ganesha idols have been kept on display for the festival, which falls on August 31.
Amidst the various designs, the idol with traditional Maharashtrian Pheta, decorated with rhinestones, attracted many. Apart from this, those painted with natural colours, plain brown idols, and those decorated with sequins and jewels also stood out.
The potters also provided idols based on the requirement of clients. The cost ranged from ₹75 for an 8-inch idol up to ₹30,000 for those between 8 and 10 feet. The price depends on the size of the idol.
