This year, I felt like I wanted to celebrate Ganpati by drawing an image of one. So here is what I came up with. Its not complete, but I wanted it to look festive, but at the same time, I love the austerity of stone idols. I tried to achieve a balance by keeping the idol gray, and the background, I colored in the very Indian tones of saffron and fuchsia. The two colors remind me of zendu (Marigold)flowers and gulal. I would never dare to wear those colors together, but they make me feel happy.
