Custom Hand-Painted Ganpati Decorations
I transform your personal space into a divine setting for Bappa using custom, hand-painted backdrops and immersive wall art designed to tell a unique story.
This project was very special. I recreated the Shivrajyabhishek Sohala (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's coronation) for a home Ganpati. The video shows my process, from sketching on the wall to the final, grand installation.
A beautiful Ganpati home setup with a serene waterfall theme. I painted the backdrop on traditional manjarpat cloth and extended the stone wall and vine details onto the side walls to create a cozy, cave-like feel.
A different angle of the waterfall-themed decoration, showing the painted ceiling that adds to the immersive effect. The hanging vines with fairy lights make the space feel magical and alive.
A close-up view of the details. The hand-painted stone window on the side wall and the lush greenery in the backdrop are designed to create a complete, three-dimensional scene for the Ganpati murti.
From the painted waterfall to the intricate details on the murti's clothing, this video captures the final look of a home Ganpati celebration. It shows how every element comes together to create a devotional atmosphere.
This video shows the finished waterfall painting on a 4x3 manjarpat cloth before it was installed. Creating these backdrops separately allows for detailed work before setting it up at the client's home.
Here you can see the journey of creating a nature-themed backdrop, from the first sketch on the manjarpat cloth to the final, detailed painting of a sunlit waterfall, ready to welcome Bappa.
About Custom Home Ganpati Decorations
I create these backdrops using traditional manjarpat cloth, which provides a beautiful, soft texture that catches light perfectly in home settings. Because this is rolled artwork rather than rigid board, you can easily pin or tape it to your walls to create a complete scene without needing to alter your home structure.
Every Ganpati setup I paint starts with a conversation about the mood you want to create. Whether you are looking for a serene, forest-inspired waterfall scene to bring a sense of calm or a historical concept like the coronation of Shivaji Maharaj, I design the visuals to match the scale of your space.
My process is hands-on and immersive. I specialize in 360-degree projects where I don't just stop at the backdrop behind the idol; I extend the painting onto side walls and ceilings to create a truly encapsulated world for Bappa.
I work with a team of artists and decorators to execute these setups efficiently. While I handle the detailed brushwork—from the fine shading on stone walls to the foliage and fairy lights—my team assists with the on-site installation to ensure everything comes together before the festival begins. We use professional-grade acrylics that remain vibrant under home lighting, and I apply a light varnish to help the artwork withstand the humidity of the festival season.
This is not just decoration for me. It is an act of bhakti and a way to share the stories I love. My goal is to make sure your home feels alive, welcoming, and deeply connected to the tradition you cherish.

I believe every wall has a story, especially when it is for Bappa. My goal is to make your space feel alive and full of energy for the festival. It is all about creating that perfect, devotional mood for your family.
