Khairatabad Mahaganapati, known for its grandeur and traditions, witnessed remarkable celebrations this year. The Bada Ganesh, a symbol of reverence and festivity in the region, surpassed all expectations with its latest achievements.
The Ganasatha of Khairatabad, abuzz with devotees during the ten-day Vinayakachavithi festival, is now gearing up for the grand culmination at Gangamma. The meticulous process of loading the colossal idol onto a Tusker vehicle, with the aid of a crane and intricate welding work, highlights the dedication and craftsmanship involved in the festivities.
Devotees poured in from various parts of Andhra Pradesh to offer their prayers and gifts to the deity, contributing to the substantial increase in hundi collections. The Ganesh Utsava Committee revealed that this year’s hundi income reached unprecedented levels, symbolizing the community’s unwavering faith and support.
The towering clay idol of Khairatabad Ganesha stands as a testament to the artistic prowess and devotion of the organizers and artisans involved. Standing at 70 feet, the idol not only mesmerizes with its height but also captivates with its unique form, embodying the spirit of the festivities.
Khairatabad Bojja Ganapayya, a beloved figure in the celebrations for over seven decades, continues to enchant devotees with his diverse manifestations. This year’s incarnation as Shri Saptamukha Maha Shakti Ganapati at 70 feet marks a significant milestone in the Utsav’s history, drawing awe and admiration from all.
As the celebrations culminate with the immersion rituals, the surrounding areas of Khairatabad brace for heavy traffic congestion. Enhanced security measures, including additional police presence at key locations like Khairatabad and Lakdikapool metro stations, ensure the safety and smooth conduct of the events.
