MUMBAI, Sep 4, 2012 (TNN): Playgrounds and street corners are transforming into oases of beauty as Ganeshotsav approaches on September 19. Palace and temple architecture remain the favourite decor of most mandals that have the resources to indulge their patrons. The muddy ground at Azad Nagar, Andheri, is giving way to a replica of the fabled Dilwara temple of Rajasthan. The Andhericha Raja mandal is recreating this masterpiece of Jain architecture complete with 60 carved pillars on site. From Sunday, the big icons began leaving the Lalbaug-Parel workshops to arrive at their respective mandals.
