Dear all, For those of you who weren't in Goa and who did not have the opportunity to visit the villages at their cultural best, click on the link below.

Goa too comes to a near standstill as Ganpati is the favourite decorative God for most Goan Hindus. You will see a lot of huge Saravajanik Ganpatis in the pictures, created by Artisans from the villages of Goa. Almost every single Ganpati has been created in an extremely creative and artistic manner, made up of different material like metal, cocunuts, nylon ropes, shells, flexible pipes, etc. Most of these pictures are from the Marcel-Cumbarjua belt though some of them are from the previous years. Dont miss to view the photographs. The pics are a real treat! Warm regards Sandeep
