He is Uddaṇḍa Ganapati.He is extremely protective.☺️ He tests,He plays,but would not let anyone else mistreat you. He is cuteness personified yet He is also ugra like an unmatta elephant, who can crush you. #Gampufortheday
I always thought that Hannu bhai is the most shanta swaroopa of a deity. He isn't. He teases nonstop. That's His way of playing. Not a bhai I take panga with.😛 His sadhana can bring fearlessness and confidence. #RakshabandhanSpecial #RakshaBandhan2019
I find Nandu Bhai royalty personified. Look at the way He sits, the way His head is always up. I think He can remove dhimmitude from the timidest hearts with just one look. 😊 #RakshaBandhan2019 #Rakhi2019
