Some mornings it's just you and Bappa — and that's its own kind of beautiful. A quiet, solitary aarti today, no crowd, no noise, just a moment of pure devotion at the pandal. These are the mornings that remind you why this festival means so much. 🙏

About

Sarvajanik Shri Ganesh Utsav Mandal has celebrated Ganeshotsav at Hajjugiri, Bhagyanagar 1st Cross, Angol, Belgaum since 1978. 2026 marks our 49th year.

Our mandal's own banner reads “Bhagyanagarcha Bhagyavidhata” — for this website, we've widened it to “Belgaum cha Bhagyavidhata” to speak to our whole community online.


Thank You

Every year, our Ganeshotsav comes alive because of the generosity of our own community — a beautifully sculpted idol, a pandal built with care, a tractor for the procession, and so much more given with love.

We're especially grateful to Shri Abhijit Puri, who has sponsored our Ganpati idol for 10 consecutive years — a true reflection of his devotion and generosity. Our heartfelt thanks also to our idol sculptor Shri Vinayak J. Patil, and to Shri Digambar M. Raul, Shri Prakash Medar, Shri Shridhar Bhandurge, and Gangaram Seva Trust (Santosh Plastic) for their support this year.

We also remember and honor Late Shri Dattaji Keroji Shenavi, in whose loving memory a lamp was lit for our Ganpati this year.

And to every advertiser, member, donor, volunteer, and devotee who helped in ways big and small — thank you for making this festival ours, together.
