Surat (Gujarat), Sept 03 (ANI): This Ganesh Utsav in Surat reflects a unique blend of patriotism, devotion, and community spirit. At Katargam Police Station, officers and staff organized a Ganesh pandal within the premises, symbolizing unity, discipline, and public service while warmly engaging citizens in the festivities. In Bhatar, the Shivkrupa Sarvajanik Bal Ganesh Mandal’s Swarn Mahal pandal pays tribute to the Indian Armed Forces with the theme Operation Sindoor, inspired by the Pahalgam terrorist attack. Through lifelike installations and a powerful video, the pandal highlights bravery, sacrifice, and national pride. Both initiatives showcase how tradition and culture can meaningfully honor India’s protectors while strengthening community bonds. Surat’s pandals this year stand as celebrations of faith, courage, and unity.
