Hyderabad: In an unusual decision, which is likely to raise eyebrows, the Khairatabad Ganesh Utsav Samithi has decided to install only one-foot tall idol of Lord Ganesha at Khairatabad this year.
The Khairatabad Ganesh Utsav Samithi which announced about performing 'Karre Puja' on May 18, has backtracked and said that there will be no such pooja. The Khairatabad Ganesh Utsav Samithi president S Sudarshan after discussions with the police officials, said that this year the idol would be of one feet.
Sudarshan said that the police authorities asked them not to celebrate this year in wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Khairatabad Ganesha idol is major attraction in the city for its height as lakhs of devotees from different parts of the State throng Khairatabad to witness the grandeur of the giant idol during the ten days festival. The Samithi had installed 61-feet idol last year.
