Growing up in a Marathi household, this particular deity among the myriad in Hinduism holds special significance. Each year, the Ganesh Chathurthi festival is celebrated on a grand scale, and my family contributes in a humble way. Every year, our Makhar decorations and the melodies we sing evolve. This publication serves as an archive, preserving the rich tradition of singing to the elephant-headed god.
