The Ganesha festival is the festival of the Indian God of all that is auspicious - the elephant God, Ganesha. Idols of Ganesha are brought into homes amidst fun, food and festivities and immersed in water 10 days later with a tearful goodbye. 2-3 months before the festival, sculptors and artists start work on making and painting these idols. Their work does not get celebrated as much as it deserves to be. Much of this art is familial and is passed down each generation. Here's an artisan at work in his workshop
