he lord of the new beginnings will soon arrive with much grandeur and fanfare and this time he will don every possible contemporary theme. As the country prepares to get into the mood to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi, the streets are abuzz with the different types of idols that you might see this season.
From Mumbai's iconic
Lalbaugcha Raja statue to the
tallest-ever Ganesh statue being made in Vijayawada, the frenzy in the country over the festival is making sure that there are Ganesh idols and statues of all kinds. In the past, we have already seen World Cup Ganesha,
Anna Hazare Ganesha and even the travel Ganesha. But when we say all kinds, we include those which you have never imagined before.
Here are some of the most unique Ganesh idols which will make this Ganesh Chaturthi innovative:

If there is one picture to explain the meaning of the word 'frenzy', it is this picture. You know that the country's obsession with selfies has gone a tad bit too far when you find people making idols of Lord Ganesh taking a selfie of him with his family members. Don't be surprised tomorrow if you suddenly come across a Ganesh statue in which the God is making a duck-face.

SS Rajamouli's blockbuster multi-lingual film Baahubali reportedly collected Rs 500 crore in the three weeks since its release on 10 July, according to sources in the film unit. However, that is just a number. Perhaps the real proof of the massive success of Baahubali actually is this picture, which shows a statue of Lord Ganesh as the Baahubali. Films have always been an important part of India. But nothing proves it as much as this image.
