Every year, Ganesh Chaturthi is marked with creativity, as people across India make idols in unique styles. This year in Hyderabad, one idol has become the talk of the town because of its special design.
A Lord Ganesh idol styled as Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has been installed by Congress leader Mettu Sai Kumar, who is also the Chairman of the Telangana Fishermen Co-operative Societies Federation.
The idol has been created under the theme “Telangana Rising,” as reported by the news agency ANI.
The figure of Lord Ganesh has been dressed in clothes linked to the Chief Minister. The idol wears a crisp white shirt and black trousers, paired with a green shawl draped neatly over the shoulder.
The styling is said to have been inspired by a well-known photograph of Revanth Reddy taken during his padayatra.

Speaking to ANI, Mettu Sai Kumar said, “This time, we adopted Telangana’s development ideology and the CM’s vision, Revanth Reddy. The idea is to showcase Telangana’s progress and development with the theme Telangana Rising”.
