The celebrations of Gauri Pujan are being marked in the state of Maharashtra. Observed in the festival of Ganeshotsav, it sees the welcoming of idols of Goddess Gauri, the mother of Lord Ganesha. People decorate these idols with beautiful sarees, deck them up with jewellery and perform special puja. In the time of coronavirus pandemic, a police constable from Satara district had a different idea of celebration. Constable named Komal Pawar dressed up the idols of Goddess Gauri as a doctor and policewoman. Both the idols were also made to wear a facemask and help placards giving out an important message to control the spread of COVID-19. A picture of this unique decoration has been uploaded on Twitter and people are loving it. Ganesh Chaturthi 2020: Ludhiana Restaurateur, Harjinder Singh Kukreja’s Edible Chocolate Lord Ganesha Is a Sweet Reminder of All Things Good, See Pic and Video.

She wrote, "My Police constable Komal Pawar(Shahupuri police station, SATARA) have unique theme for Gauri this year. This decoration speaks a lot. Salute to her creativity." It shows Goddess Gauri, one of which is dressed in a doctor's coat, a stethoscope around her neck and wearing a facemask. A placard in her hand asks people to wear masks to stop the spread of coronavirus. The other idol is wearing the policewoman saree, holding a lathi and wearing a mask. The placard in her hand is asking to follow the rules and help stop the spread of coronavirus. Lord Ganesha is in the middle of these two idols. Ganesh Chaturthi 2020 Celebrations in Pics and Videos: From Shri Sidhi Vinayak Temple Aarti to Ganpati Bappa Made of Dry Fruits, People Observe Vinayaka Chaturthi.
