Muslim Kids at Asish Shelars Ganpati Pandal

Soon after the fast , all the Muslim kids from nearby tenements , chawls slums, come to Ashish Shelars Ganpati pandal for games like housy and enjoy themselves , they win prizes too.

 

Keeping respect for Ramzan Ashish Shelr has his arti after Tarabi.. a thought that has endeared him to all, Ashish Bhai as we all call him gives respect to the spirtual sentiments of the peoples religiosity..

 

Though he represents the BJP Party , though in an area dominated by Muslim slums, nobody can ever accuse Asish Shelar of playing with the religious emotions of the people of this area called Bandra Reclamation..

 

I have a great respect for the humility of this grass root stalwart of life..So his pandal I shot much before it was ready, I shot his pandal as it was built from scratch.. it gave me a lot of joy...and I can see it from my house window too..

He his wife and their son Omkar are part of everyone's life in Bandra.
