| |

| |
|
| |
| The largest [[Lord Ganesh]] Idol in Hyderabad is installed near Khairtabad State Library during [[Ganesh chaturthi]] festival.
| |
|
| |
| The local people participate in the 11-day festival and thousands of people from throughout India visit the Idol to seek the blessings of Lord Ganesh. On the 11th day, a procession carries the idol to [[Hussain sagar|Hussain Sagar Lake]]. After immersing the idol, the festival ends.
| |
|
| |
| The local people formed the Ganesh Utsav Committee, Khairtabad<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ganapathideva.org/index.html|title=Ganapathi Deva {{!}} Ganesh Utsav {{!}} Khairathabad Ganesh Hyderabad|last=deva|first=Ganapathi|website=Khairathabad Ganesh Hyderabad {{!}} Ganesh Chaturthi Hyderabad|language=en|access-date=2019-03-28}}</ref> to support the festival days. The Singari family has conducted the festival since 1954. Many poor families survive by selling products to visitors.
| |
|
| |
| Three months prior to festival day the construction of the idol begins. Nearly 200 workers led by a sculpturist work day and night for three months to construct this large idol, towering nearly 58 feet in height.
| |
|
| |
| Starting in 2018. the Ganesh Utsava Committee agreed to switch from [[plaster]] of Paris to an eco-friendly clay idol.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/hyderabads-tallest-ganesha-to-be-a-centre-of-attraction-as-always/articleshow/60218361.cms|title=Hyderabad's tallest Ganesha to be a centre of attraction as always}}</ref>
