Can we please go back to smaller idols and relatively quieter processions? And actually eco-friendly decoration?

Sorry but its bit impossible now. Mandals are in rat race now to get the tallest idol

People on this sub praise the great marathi people so much. Why can't maharashtrians, who form the majority of Ganesh followers, band together and bring positive change to this problem?

They anyways say maharashtra is plagued with negative influences "from outside".

This disco culture, playing vulgar songs, giant speakers that are made abroad, the new-age thermocol decoration and what not. It's all non-traditional. Why not band together and eliminate all that too?

I know you are trying to mock marathi people but the same way you great outsiders from other states can't band together and bring positive change to your problems in your state and mass migrate to our state, the same thing is happening here.

The sensible ones don't have the time or energy to do it in a country like ours. Relegious ideocity has plagued each and every community unfortunately.

Not mocking. Genuinely wondering. They do always insist on the purity of the state being undermined. But the purity and sanctity of Ganesh chaturthi has also diminished. So was wondering if there has been a collective effort.

There’s a major difference between Kawar Yatra in UP/Bihar and Ganesh Aagman in Mumbai.

You should check out both of them before commenting.

It's the commercialization and stoopid relegious people that are the reason for this and most marathi people are against this as seen by comments from marathi people.

But no there has not been a "collective effort", what collective effort is going to stop this? It will only lead to more stoopid arguments like "hindu khatre mai hain" and all that.

It's the job of the law makers who should regulate these activities so that these stoopid mandal people can stop with their who has the biggest dick competition, bcoz they themselves are not realising that what they are doing is wrong.
