The Gawandi family-led art initiative finishes idol painting 15 days before Ganesh Chaturthi In Parse village, the Shraddha Ganpati Chitra Shala has successfully completed the painting of 150 Ganesh idols well ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi. Run by the dedicated Gawandi family, the school is led by Bhanudas Gawandi, his wife Bindiya Gawandi, and their daughter Shraddha Gawandi—all three actively involved as artists. With over two weeks still left for the festival, the timely completion reflects both their commitment and artistic discipline in preserving and celebrating this deeply rooted cultural tradition.
