We want to send a message to the younger generation to respect their parents and appreciate their constant sacrifices and hard work,” Kumar explained.

He recognised Lord Ram as a fellow Vishnu avatar and put down his parashu (axe) as soon as he saw the revered kshatriya after Ram broke the bow at Sita Swayamvar. One of Mumbai’s most magnificent Ganesh statues is the Mumbaicha Maharaja. The mandal was founded in 1959, but it only became well-known in 2000 after creating the 40-foot-tall Ganesh idol that is the tallest in Indian history. The figure is adorned with genuine gold jewellery. This year the idol is 38 feet tall and Murtikar Kunal Patil is credited with mounting the Ganesha idol.
