“During Ganpati, our entire family comes together from all over the world to celebrate Bappa. We bring the same Ganpati idol from our temple into our living room, celebrate Bappa’s birthday for two days with delicious Maharashtrian food and lots of modaks, and then lovingly take him back to our temple.”
