The Indian God Ganpati has been welcomed in various parts of the world with amazing idols. The Sydney based Sancheti family welcomed Ganpati to Sydney in the most creative and unique way. Hetal Jimulia Sancheti came up with a brilliant idea!


Sydney-based Hetal Jimulia Sancheti and her family have set up one of the most creative Ganpati decorations at their home. 

"We wanted to do something innovative for our Ganesh celebration decoration. Last year, my nine-year-old daughter thought of having Lord Ganesha near Sydney Opera House but we couldn't implement it.

"So this year, we had ample time. We started with the Sydney Opera House and then added the harbour bridge to the setup. We ideated for days and thought of adding other Sydney landmarks like Luna Park," Hetal tells SBS Hindi.

"I am so overwhelmed with the response. It is quite motivating," she adds.
