Ganesh ji's mother comes to her son's house for three days — in on Anuradha, given the full meal on Jyeshtha, and sent back on Mula. In the homes that bring her these are the biggest days of the whole festival.
Some families bring two Gauris, some one; some bring masks on a pot, some standing idols, some a bundle of khada (leaves) from the field. All of it is the same welcome.
Every town is its own sunrise
