Khetwadicha Morya
Bappa as Pandurang Vitthal: one foot on Garuda, veena in hand, every arm in motion, and not a tremor. Scroll, and rise to his face.
पांडुरंग विठ्ठल अवतार, गरुडावर · sculpted by Kalagandh Arts
One foot.एक पाय गरुडावर, आणि तरीही स्थिर.
Twenty-eight feet of painted clay resting on a single heel, on the back of a bird in flight, on a cloud. The whole galli holds its breath at aagman, and every year Kalagandh Arts finds a new way to make it stand.
Seventy-seven years in one laneखेतवाडी ७वी गल्ली
On 15 September 1950 the families of the 7th Galli in Khetwadi brought their first sarvajanik Ganpati home. Khetwadi has a dozen mandals within a few hundred metres of each other, and every year each lane tries to outdo the next. The 7th Galli's answer has been the same for three generations: a murti you have to look up at, and a theme with a story.
The story of the founders, the early years and the people who kept it going is being written with the mandal's seniors. It will appear here, in Marathi first.
वर्ष दर्शनEvery year's Bappa, as far as the record goes
Only what the mandal has recorded is written here. Gaps are gaps, waiting for old photographs from the seniors.
