Ganesha factory

Our driver Gopi is the bomb. On Ganesha's birthday he took us on a tour of neighborhood Ganesha displays and to this amazing "factory" where some of the more ornate Ganeshas are made.

Because these statues are eventually disposed of in a lake, they are made of straw, burlap, and clay mud.


Then they are put outside to dry.


They are made to order, so you specify how you want your statue. Looks like they are made for events other than Ganesha also.
