The incomplete hands of the idol of Lord Ganesh lie in a craftsman home in the Gulbai Tekra area of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The Gulbai Tekra is know for these expert but poor craftsmen who excel in making well-proportioned idols of Indian Gods, particularly Lord Ganesh. Though the government has been asking the people to switch to clay idols, the people have ignored that directive as plaster of paris (POP) costs them almost half the price. Subsequently, buyers too prefer POP idols to clay ones due to the inexpensive proposition. They supply the Ganesh and other idols of Hindu Gods to Mumbai and many other parts of India.
