Key Highlights of Khairatabad Maha Ganapati 2025:

The 2025 Khairatabad Maha Ganapati has been unveiled as Vishwashanti Mahashakti Ganapati, taking the divine form of Shantamurthy and standing 69 feet tall.

The massive structure was completed in 84 days with the involvement of nearly 125 artisans. For the construction, around 1,000 bags of clay from Gujarat, 70 bags of rice husk, around 30 tons of steel, and nearly 50 cartloads of paddy with dyes and other materials were used. 

The work is led by chief sculptor Chinnaswamy Rajendran, associated with the Khairatabad Ganesh since 1978. 

The Khairatabad Ganesh Utsav is now in its 71st year, continuing a tradition that began in 1954 with a one-foot idol installed by Singari Shankaraiah.

The Maha Ganapati Nimajjanam (immersion) has been scheduled for 6th September 2025, which will mark the conclusion of the ten-day Ganesh Chaturthi festivities in the city. 2025-08-27 05:12:46 Key Highlights of Khairat.. 3,374 +1,259% 4 -26%
Dr. Venkatesh Gattem, a sculpture artist known for his miniature artworks, has created a special piece for Ganesh Chaturthi 2025. He carved a miniature Lord Ganesha on a pencil lead with a height of 23 mm and width of 8 mm, completing it in 6 hours. Working on something so small requires patience and precision, and every tiny detail matters.

Venkatesh grew up in Chinadoddigallu, a small village in Visakhapatnam, where he first discovered his fascination with miniatures. Watching the Etikoppaka artisans carve delicate designs inspired him to explore how small creations can make a big impact.

At 14, he made his first miniature Lord Ganesha from glass bangles. His parents encouraged him, though some relatives thought it wasn’t practical. Since then, he has created over 600 miniature artworks, including replicas of the Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, and tributes to the Indian Air Force.

Earlier this year, on Maha Shivaratri, he sculpted Lord Shiva’s Thandavam on an 18 mm pencil lead in under 10 hours. Each artwork, whether Shiva or Ganesha, is a lesson in patience and attention to detail.

Venkatesh holds a Master’s in Urban Design from NYU and a Doctorate in Arts and Crafts from Peace University, Germany, but miniatures remain his passion. He currently works as a Project Coordinator while continuing to create, and this year he also had the opportunity to showcase Indian craftsmanship in the US.

Wishing everyone a joyful Ganesh Chaturthi 2025, filled with wisdom, prosperity, and inspiration!

In Uppuguda, Hyderabad, Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 has taken on a patriotic note with the unveiling of an Operation Sindoor-themed idol of Lord Ganesha. Sri Mallikarjuna Nagar Youth Welfare Association, which has been organising the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities for nearly five decades, has dedicated this year’s celebrations to the Indian Armed Forces.

The clay idol, crafted by local artisans over the past two months, portrays Lord Ganesha in the uniform of an Air Force officer. Alongside the idol are replicas of the BrahMos missile and the S-400 defence system, reflecting India’s air defence strength. Organisers say the theme is intended to honour the sacrifices of soldiers and inspire national pride.

“We wanted this year’s idol to highlight the courage and sacrifices of our soldiers. Operation Sindoor as a theme allowed us to connect devotion with respect for the armed forces,” said Srikanth, key member of the organising committee.

Inside the pandal, exhibits highlight key chapters of India’s defence history — from the First Indo-Pak War of 1947 and the conflicts of 1965 and 1971, to the 1999 Kargil conflict, the 2016 Uri and 2019 Pulwama attacks, and the recently conducted Operation Sindoor in 2025. A 20-minute AI-based film recreating these events will be screened daily during the Navratri days.

Residents of the locality have also contributed by preparing the Sudarshan vehicle that accompanies the idol. Since the unveiling, the Operation Sindoor themed Ganesh idol has already begun drawing large crowds, is expected to remain a focal point of Hyderabad’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations this festive season.

“I’m Binoy, from West Bengal. Every year, I travel to Hyderabad during Ganesh Chaturthi to make clay Ganeshas. In Barkatpura, we set up temporary sheds and spend almost two months here shaping idols with mud, bamboo, hay, and colours.

The idol begins with clay that we bring from the Hooghly riverbed in Kolkata, which we call Kolkata mitti. It is soft when wet, strong when dry, and our families have worked with it for generations. To shape the idol, we first build a frame using bamboo sticks and dried paddy straw. The clay is then layered on top, slowly giving form to Ganesha. Once the body is ready, we apply a white coating. Many people think this is Plaster of Paris, but it isn’t. It’s a chalk-based primer that prepares the surface so the colours set well.

This season, the rains made our work slow and tricky. Clay takes longer to dry in such weather, and we had to be extra careful while handling the idols. But with patience, we managed, and now the idols are ready.

After that comes the painting. We use water-based colours—bright reds, yellows, blues, and greens to bring out Ganesha’s form. The last step is always the eyes, painted carefully by hand with the thinnest brush. That is the moment we say the idol comes alive.

For us, this work is not only a livelihood but also a tradition we are keeping alive. These clay Ganeshas dissolve back into the soil after immersion, unlike plaster ones that harm water bodies. When someone takes home a clay idol we made, I feel we have done our part—for faith, for tradition, and for nature.”

With Ganesh Chaturthi approaching, artisans in Hyderabad are racing against time to complete eco-friendly Ganesh idols. In Barkatpura, a group of craftsmen from Kolkata has been working for weeks, shaping idols from clay, bamboo and straw.

The team is led by K. K. Mondal, who travels every year from Kumartuli in North Kolkata – a neighbourhood famous for idol-making. He and his team spend nearly two months in Hyderabad, setting up temporary workshops where the idols are made and painted.

The clay, locally known as “Kolkata mitti,” is brought from the Hooghly riverbed. Mixed with water and paddy husk, it is valued for being soft and easy to mould while also retaining strength once dried. “We have been using this clay for generations. It allows us to create the detailed features that our style is known for,” Mondal quoted. 

This year, heavy rains in July and August disrupted the process, damaging several idols and slowing their drying. “It was difficult to manage, but we repaired the damaged ones. Now they are ready,” he said.

The Barkatpura workshop produces idols of varying sizes, from small ones for households to larger idols for community pandals. Unlike Plaster of Paris idols, these are fully biodegradable and dissolve harmlessly in water bodies after immersion.

For the artisans, the work is both a livelihood and a way of keeping a centuries-old tradition alive. As Hyderabad gears up for the festival, Mondal and his team are hopeful that their clay idols will find space in homes and pandals across the city.

“Back in school, I would lose track of time while sketching in my notebooks. For me, art wasn’t just a hobby, it was the one thing that felt like mine. But it was only after my board exams that I dared to take it seriously. I joined an art class during the summer and completed a certificate course, and that gave me the courage to apply for a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting at Lucknow College.

Those years changed me. I began exploring themes like the universe, déjà vu, and metamorphosis, ideas that kept me questioning and imagining. At the same time, I picked up a camera. Street photography in places like Varanasi and Baroda taught me to see life differently, to notice fleeting expressions, and everyday lives that often go unseen.

After finishing my Bachelor’s, I wanted to dig deeper into the connections between art, history, and culture. That’s what brought me to Hyderabad for a Master of Visual Arts in Art History and Visual Studies at the University of Hyderabad. My dissertation looks at something very specific yet fascinating, the architectural influence of imported Asian materials in temples, especially Japanese majolica tiles brought by Marwadi merchants to Begum Bazar. The way these tiles became part of temple craftsmanship tells its own story of trade, culture, and design.

I’ve been fortunate to be mentored by Dr. Baishali Ghosh, who has pushed me to approach research with both curiosity and rigour. The University of Hyderabad has also given me space to collaborate across departments and see art in a wider context.

For me, art has never been just about creating something beautiful, it’s about connections. Between past and present. Between tradition and innovation. Between what we see and what we feel. That search for connection is what keeps me going.”
