IMAGE: Amol Kulkarni has a sweet story to share.
'My better half and I both used bring Lord Ganpati at our respective homes during this festival. After marriage, we could not celebrate fully for the five days that He was with us since we felt torn between both homes.'
The Panvel-based Kulkarnis came up with an innovative solution.
'We united both Bappas at our residence so that both families can enjoy the festival together.
'This is why we have two Ganpati Bappas at our home.'
They have been bringing Lord Ganesha home for the last 35 years.
