The pandal will feature a modern installation using reflective chrome and steel, designed to break the invisible barrier between the artwork and the people visiting it.
The 51st Ganesh Chaturthi celebration, which began in 1975, will also feature a 10–12 ft idol made by local artisans from Pandu and Kamakhya Colony. The pandal will be built by local artisans, with the total celebration budget estimated at Rs 5 lakh.
The five-day celebration will be held from September 14 to 18.
The event is being organised by the Restcamp Telugu Ram Mandir Committee in association with the Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Yuvajana Seva Sangam.
