Khetwadicha Morya

Bappa as Pandurang Vitthal: one foot on Garuda, veena in hand, every arm in motion, and not a tremor. Twenty-eight feet of balance. Scroll, and rise to his face.

Seventy-seven years in one laneखेतवाडी ७वी गल्ली

On 15 September 1950 the families of the 7th Galli in Khetwadi brought their first sarvajanik Ganpati home. Khetwadi has a dozen mandals within a few hundred metres of each other, and every year each lane tries to outdo the next. The 7th Galli's answer has been the same for three generations: a murti you have to look up at, and a theme with a story.

The story of the founders, the early years and the people who kept it going is being written with the mandal's seniors. It will appear here, in Marathi first.

Under the flyover and past the towers, on a cloud of cotton, with the whole galli in white caps around him. Video of this year's aagman and visarjan will play here, scrubbed by your scroll.
