Motivational Spiritual Speaker Jaya Kishori to instal Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati idol; Bappa to be installed after a grand procession
Pune: Hindustan’s first Ganpati Mandal Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati Trust’s Ganesh idol will be installed by Motivational Spiritual Speaker Jaya Kishori at 12.15 pm on Wednesday (August 27). Prior to the installation ceremony, the Ganesh idol will be brought to the mandap in a grand procession.
Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati Trust Celebration Chief and Trustee Punit Balan revealed this. He said, “An ‘Aarti’ of the deity will be performed at 8.30 am on Ganesh Chaturthi (August 27) and the procession will begin with Lathi-Kathi martial art and Keshav Shankhnaad (blowing of conches). Then seven Dhol-Tasha pathaks will perform before the Rangari Bhavan. The seven pathaks that will join the procession include Shriram Pathak, Kalavant, Vadyavrund, Vishwagarjana, Swayambhugarjana, Gajar, and NuMaVi. Thus, the Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati idol will be brought to the temple in the procession. According to the tradition started last year, the Bappa’s chariot will not be pulled by a pair of oxen but by workers of the mandal. At an auspicious time, Muhurt (12.15 pm), Motivational Spiritual Speaker Jaya Kishori will install the idol amidst traditional rituals. Other programmes will follow ‘Pranpratishtha’ (installation),” said Punit Balan.

“Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati Bappa idol will be brought to the mandap in a grand procession and Motivational Spiritual Speaker Jaya Kishori will install the idol. Last year, she expressed the wish to install the idol while she visited the mandap for ‘Darshan’. Therefore, she will have the honour of ‘Pranpratishtha’ (installation). This is a matter of happiness for all Ganesh devotees.”
