Behind the Glitter: Inside a Pune Goldsmith's Ganpati Creations

In Pune, there's a special workshop called ND Yeolekar Goldsmith that's been making jewelry for the Hindu god Ganesha for almost a century.

They make crowns and necklaces for Ganesha to wear during the Ganeshotsav festival.

Skilled workers, some from different parts of India, spend long hours creating these beautiful silver ornaments.

They design different styles, from old-fashioned to modern.

Each year, they produce a lot of jewelry, which is then sold to shops and temples.

Although the workshop is busy, the owner wishes they got paid more fairly for their hard work, as the retailers sell the ornaments at a much higher price.
