In the year 2019, the central government abrogated Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. The central government implemented various schemes with a view to achieving the development of this area. Just as the Central Government is taking steps for geographical development, Pune has also organized an initiative to make its cultural heritage available to the citizens here.

Ganesh festival in Pune has always been a big treat for the citizens of India. The seven mandals in Pune will be installing replicas of their Ganesha in various districts of Kashmir next year. The initiative will be implemented to support the citizens here. The cultural festival will be celebrated against Pakistan sponsored terrorist activities. Punit Balan, festival head of The Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganapati Trust, expressed confidence that Kashmiri pandits here will also participate in the celebration of Bappa because of this.

Pune's Ganesh festival has a rich heritage. At a time when the economic development of Jammu and Kashmir is at its peak after the abrogation of Article 370, we are trying our best to ensure that citizens here should also get to experience this 130-year-old cultural heritage of Maharashtra. Mr. {unit Balan also added, if we send Ganesha idols to multiple foreign countries like US, Spain, etc then why not bring it in Kashmir ? The citizens here respond to initiatives like Amarnath Yatra, Har Ghar Tiranga, while we are confident that they will also give a huge response to our Ganesh festival as well. : Punit Balan, Head of Festival, Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganapati Trust.
