💓FROM A LITTLE WISH TO A LIFELONG MEMORY....BAPPA CAME HOME🙏

                                

This year brought me an experience I had never imagined. At 38, I had never practiced idol worship, though I had visited temples and sacred places. While travelling one day, my 7-year-old daughter noticed the Ganesha idols on the streets and asked why they were everywhere. I explained to her that Ganesh Chaturthi was near and people welcome Bappa home. Without hesitation, she said, 

“I want to bring Him home.”     

And in that instant, I agreed.

Not knowing much about the rituals, I sought guidance from friends and did my best to learn. When we finally welcomed Bappa, my daughter insisted we keep Him for the full 10 days. Though I initially tried to convince her otherwise, her devotion was unwavering, and I chose to follow her lead.

With sincerity and gratitude, we celebrated these days as best as we could. It may not have been perfect, but it was heartfelt. I am deeply thankful to my daughter for bringing this joy into our lives and for giving me an experience I never thought I would have.

Now, though the house feels a little empty after His visarjan, our hearts are full—knowing that He will return next year to bless us again. 

"🌸Sometimes our children guide us to the most beautiful blessings💛 Thankful for these 11 days of love & devotion🙏"

Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya!
