MUMBAI, INDIA, August 29, 2009: Piety towards Lord Ganesha, considered the remover of obstacles, seems to have triumphed over the economic slump, security concerns and swine flu.
Donations at various Ganpati temples across Maharashtra are flowing. Cash and gold collections are expected to exceed last year’s numbers at mandals across the State.
“In spite of the recession, there is no fall in the number of corporations that have come up to sponsor mandals. Like last year, we have about six corporate sponsors,” said Mr Sunil Joshi, Committee Member, Lalbaugcha Raja Ganesh Mandal.
