From Workshop to Mandap
Months of clay, colour and craftsmanship before the first day.
॥ શ્રી ગણેશાય નમઃ ॥
Devotion, tradition and grandeur in the heart of Surat
Each part of the utsav is kept separately, from the first day in the workshop to the walk to the water.
Months of clay, colour and craftsmanship before the first day.
The first darshan, as Vighneshwar enters Surat.
Lamp, sound and stillness, twice every day.
Cultural evenings, community meals and service through the ten days.
Faces, prayers and memories from the mandap.
The families, volunteers and guests who make the utsav.
A farewell carried to the water, and the promise to return.
A closing mosaic from across the festival.
Places for aarti and darshan are limited and released by the committee. Reserve yours before the day fills.
Photographs, films and moments from the celebrations that came before this one.
Walk through past years
