   Hindu made clay model of Hindu Lord Ganesha in 2-3 months prior to the event of Ganesh Chaturthi. People make them in different sizes that vary from 3/4th of an inch to over 25 feet. Artists decorate and depict Lord Ganesh in different poses to get appreciation and to show their artistic skills.
   The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi begins by installing these Ganesh idoles in decorated homes with different bright colors and specially fix temporary structures mandapas (pandals) in their localities. The pandals are established by the people or by a specific society or locality or group through contributions. The pandals or mandapas are decorated according to requirement of the festival, by installing decorative items like flower garlands, lights, etc. to depict religious themes or current events of that year.
