The festival
The pooja is the point.
The idol is why the crowds come, but the daily rituals are what the five days actually are. Nobody needs an invitation to stand in them.
A
The idol
One of the tallest and richest Ganesha idols in the area, installed in the pandal near Shri Venkateshwara Swamy Temple.
B
Daily poojas and aarti
Poojas, aarti and community rituals every day of the five, performed in front of the idol and open to everyone present.
C
The neighbourhood
For a week the pandal is a community space, and Bellandur turns up in large numbers across all five days.
D
Seva
Pooja arrangements, the idol and the community seva are run under Bellandur Ganesha Utsava by Sri Vinayaka Seva Mandali and Classic Boys, and funded by the area itself.

Out on the street, one last time.
The idol leaves the pandal and moves through Bellandur before the immersion. It is the single biggest crowd of the five days.

About
Bellandur Ganesha Utsava
One place for the whole neighbourhood.
Bellandur Ganesha Utsava is the festival organisation. Sri Vinayaka Seva Mandali and Classic Boys came together to start it as one shared festival in one place, instead of celebrating on separate roads. This is the tenth year in Bellandur.
The pandal, the idol, the pooja arrangements and the community seva are handled by the two groups and paid for by contributions from the area. There is no ticket, because the neighbourhood already funds it.
The pandal sits near Shri Venkateshwara Swamy Temple on 12th B Cross Road, and for five days every year it is the busiest spot in Bellandur.
