All About Ganapati Decoration, Ganeshji Festival, Puja thali, Garlands, Aasan (Doily to keep Ganesh Idol) and many useful decorating things

                                                     

Hello friends,

Ganapati or Ganesh or with love we call him BAPPA, is the most worshipped GOD all over India and abroad too. He is widely revered as remover of all obstacles in any good work. He is also God of wisdom and intellect. 

In Maharahstra Ganesh Utsav is a big festival which is celebrated publicly and also home to home. From the month of Shravan everyone started thinking that this year how should we decorate in this festival. Many thermocol decorating articals are available in market but to decorate Bappa by own handmade things gives a special satisfaction to each family member.

Through my youtube channel I have made so many articals those can be used to decorate Bappa. Every year many of my subscribers decorate their Bappas withese articals. So I think that I should share them here so that all my followers can watch the videos and made them if they want.

1. GANAPATI: Ganeshji's idol made by crochet itself is the best decoration, (photo above).

This one is made by crochet flowers...

Look at the special mark worn on his forehead, that is called Tila or Tilak. 

One of  the subscriber of my channel Kalopasak requested me many times to make this Tila in crochet. I don't know what she is goin to do with that. But seeing her dedication for that Tila, I decided to make it, that too urgent because on 6th July, it is Aashadhi Ekadashi, the festival.

I made it in two sizes. Bigger one's height is 3.5" and smaller is 1.5".

I used Vardhaman Millenium yarn and 3,5 mm hook for bigger one and 1.75 mm hook for smaller Tila.

Pattern: R1: With black, make ch2, dc 15 in magic loop, cl. BO. (ch2 not considered as first dc)

Sew a beautiful pendulaum type bead at centre,  Bigger TILA is ready.

You can make number of such pieces, sew it to some Toran Patti, the beautiful Toran will be ready.
