Kalwa Ganeshotsav Installation Honors Ajit Pawar’s Political Legacy
A family in Kalwa made a small display for the Ganesh festival.
The display remembers Ajit Pawar, a late political leader.
It uses tiny models instead of a usual decorative background.
One model shows the Devgiri official residence.
Another shows his familiar pink jacket.
An empty chair represents the chief minister’s position that he never reached.
A small plane-crash model remembers how his life ended.
Visitors saw the display as both a festival decoration and a tribute.
Journalist Shubham Koli’s household in Kalwa created a miniature tribute to late leader Ajit Pawar.
The installation was part of the household’s Ganeshotsav celebration in Thane.
A replica of the Devgiri official residence represented Pawar’s administrative career.
A miniature pink jacket recalled Pawar’s distinctive personal style, while an empty chair symbolized the chief minister’s post he never held.
A model of the plane crash that ended Pawar’s life turned the display into a memorial for visitors and neighbours.
