Mumbai: Without engaging professional art directors, minus big sums of investment, individual families and society members fashion amazing Ganesh pandals that attract strangers into their premises.

Rahul Variya and his four friends have fashioned a double decker BEST bus in the hall of his Gopal Bhuvan apartment in Mulund. The red bus is complete with green seats, black armrests, and steps that lead to a 1 ft tall seated idol of Lord Ganesh. The model is 5 ft wide and 2 ft in height.

Variya, a senior visualiser with an ad agency said, “I had made the model of a local train in 2021 for Bappa, so I made a bus this year. Outsiders visit my home out of curiosity and we allow them all to come and take blessings.”
