00:00After a year of waiting, the time has come for Ganpati Bappa Morya's arrival.
00:13Two days later, Ganpati is going to sit in every house.
00:16In such a situation, the enthusiasm of the devotees is at its peak.
00:19Where devotees of every age are busy in the preparation of Ganpati's arrival,
00:23everyone has prepared in their own way for Ganpati's arrival.
00:28Devotees of Ganpati are eager to buy idols of their choice in the market.
00:32There is a different demand for idols for houses and pandalas.
00:36After Corona, people have started placing more idols in their homes,
00:40due to which the market for Ganpati's idols has become very busy.
00:44It has been approximately three years since we have been continuing.
00:49We have come from Pratap Nagar near Gulabi Bagh.
00:53So do you like to buy the idol of soil or POP?
00:57Yes, we buy the soil from the beginning.
01:02So how do you spray it at home?
01:04Yes, we spray it at home.
01:06We take a tub and spray it.
01:08And then we put the water in the plants so that there is no waste.
01:12I try to buy eco-friendly.
01:14So that after spraying at home, the pollution is reduced.
01:18We can't do it there.
01:20That's why we buy eco-friendly.
01:23At the same time, the idol of Ganpati is in great demand in the market.
01:27The idol makers are also very enthusiastic.
01:29They have been making the idol of Ganpati for many months now.
01:32They are making all kinds of idols according to the demand of the people.
01:36So that people can take their favorite idols to their homes.
01:40We start it first.
01:42And for three months, we make its first model from POP.
01:47After making the model, we take out the piece from POP.
01:52It takes about 15 to 20 days for it to dry.
01:57After that, we do the painting work.
01:59The painting work is done according to the time of the day.
02:05That is, if he says that we should make a golden dhoti for the king of Lalbagh,
02:12then we make a golden dhoti.
02:14Ganesh Chaturthi is being seen in Rampura, West Delhi.
02:19Ganesh Chandra, who has been making the idol of Ganesha for 35 years,
02:24told us that he used to go to Mumbai for the Ganesha puja.
02:28But for the past 4 to 5 years, there has been an uproar of the Ganpati puja in Delhi.
02:32And there is a heavy demand for idols.
02:34That is why they start making the idol three months in advance.
02:39It is believed that every year, the idol of Ganesha should be a little bigger than the one you kept last year.
02:45This is a belief of a Hindu religion.
02:47And many customers have told us that they have come to buy a little bigger idol than the one they had kept last year.
02:53And most of the demand is for eco-friendly idols.
02:57If you say, it is the idol of Ganesha, because it goes into the water easily.
03:01The sculptors say that with the passage of time, people are now taking care of the environment
03:06and instead of idols made of plaster and sand, they are choosing idols made of soil.
03:12Making and selling idols in Rampura is the biggest market.
03:16There are about 40 to 45 families here who make idols.
03:21Most of the people are from Chittorgarh.
03:24In the off-season, everyone sends metal items.
03:27All the idols made here are ordered from Kolkata.
03:31Then they are given the final look here.
03:34Where are you from?
03:35I am from Chittorgarh.
03:36So, you have been in Delhi for a long time.
03:38I have been in this business since childhood.
03:40So, you have not been in this business since childhood.
03:42We used to sell metal items before.
03:44Now, we have stopped selling metal items.
03:46After we stopped selling metal items, we started making idols.
03:51We sell metal items once a year.
03:55Every year, Bhadrapad Mahavi, Shukri Baksh Chaturthi is celebrated as Ganesh Chaturthi, Ganesh Jan Utsav.
