The members of the Khairatabad Ganesh Utsav Committee have taken a major decision this year keeping in view the ongoing threat of the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The committee has decided to put up only a one-foot-long idol of Lord Ganesh this year.
The Khairatabad Ganesh idol is famous for its height, and attracts huge crowds. The idol was 61-feet-long last year.
The committee decided not to put up giant idol this year keeping the possible spread of the highly contagious Covid-19 in mind.
