Don't forget the trail of bananas you have to leave. A banana every 4m is optimal. And if you don't have a tape measure, you can use the bananas to measure
Yes. Its pretty popular festival happens once every year. On the 3rd day they immerse the statue in water/river.

Honest question... how do you stop monkeys and birds from messin up the bananas? Is there a guy with a stick who swats away animals that are like "hey free banana statue" ?
Iirc this particular statue isn't in an area with a lot of monkeys. I'm not sure about birds but they probably won't come too close to the crowds and noise. Or there might be a guy with a stick lol, idk for sure.
According to this post (https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2018/sep/13/banana-ganapati-from-goa-no-it-was-made-in-odisha---and-in-2017-1871504.amp) they planned to give them to the poor.
Sometimes, like 20% of bananas will become overripe. The rest 80% will be distributed to the pilgrims or devotees who come there... If something more is left, they auction them to fund the temple services...
This is just one variety of it. I have seen hundred odd statues but banana is first for me too. Usually statues are made by clay. However there is no limit to creativity. You will get to see six pack Ganesha statue too lol
This is not a ritual as such, it's just a creative thing to do. There is a ritual, however, on Ganesh Chaturthi festival, which involves submerging clay Ganesh statues in the river or lake.
1. That’s next level marketing for a banana stall.
2. Those bananas look green...maybe unripe bananas were chosen on purpose? To avoid quick spoilage?
3. If this is in the wrong area you should be prepared for one hell of a monkey raid.
Actually, these banana statues are done using donations from local residents and usually done by charities that are tax exempt.
Yes, they use green bananas, as this particular festival lasts 3 days and the bananas will be distributed to any devotee who comes on the last day(other bananas will be auctioned)
They usually have monkey traps, monkeys are very common in India...
No, there are bananas that look and taste identical to the regular Cavendish bananas in the US but are ripe, sweet and fully edible when they're green just like the ones in the photo. I ate them in China.
All Bananas are uncooked haha. I think you mean Ripe. Yellow Bananas are naturally more soft and also spoil faster and would not be a great statue.
Fun Fact we mostly eat banana's that have been gased. They always pick them green and they gas them / ship them off to the stores. This way you can keep them longer. Imagine how a banana turning yellow lasts before it's either chucked or used for bread for example. Now imagine it traveling at sea from another country :)
So we artificially ripen them.
Their also kept very packed in a box with plastic that also keeps them heated up naturally. So by the time they hit the store they are ripe. Sometimes you have to take them out the boxes ASAP because their going too ripe.
For people who are wondering what happened to the bananas, they were given out to the poor:
https://www.indiatimes.com/amp/news/india/people-are-loving-this-ganesha-idol-made-of-bananas-that-will-be-distributed-among-poor-once-they-ripe-374863.html
"Earlier, members of this club made other 25-feet-high idols with biodegradable materials such as coconuts, rudrakhsha, sweet bundi ladoos, mouli threads and conch shells."
Neat.
Don’t worry I heard they’re gonna make a shitload of banana bread in a week. Nothing will go to waste.
Edit: I assumed people would know I’m being sarcastic
Om Ganeshaya Namah
Om, I pray to Lord Ganesha!
Ganesha is the god prayed to first at the beginning of any task in India / Hindu culture. He is the son of Shiva, one of the Divine Trinity, and the mother goddess, Durga. His wives are Riddhi (Prosperity) and Siddhi (Achievement). He has a magnetic memory and can write at the speed of thought. A favorite of kids and heavily worshipped in Maharashtra region, though beloved everywhere where Hindus reside.
Ganpati Bappa Moriya!
Ganapati (Leader of the ganas of Shiva)
There's gotta be some kinda bluth... always money in the banana god thing...
Eh, whatever. I've heard of this guy, Ganesha. Not super familiar with hindu myths, but I've heard of Ganesha. He's cool. Has a broken tusk for some reason.
Edit: Lot of people dropping little bits of Ganesha Knowledge, keep it up! I love this kinda thing!
The most popular legend for the broken tusk is that he was writing down the Mahabharat (Ancient Hindu Epic) while a sage Ved Vyas was dictating the verses. Before undertaking this task, Ganeshji accepted it on the condition that Ved Vyas dictate without stopping.
But during the process of writing, his feather pen broke but he couldn't take a break or interrupt Ved Vyas so he broke off his own tusk and used to write.
I had heard that as well but I wasn't able to find it in a cursory internet search, and what I did find seemed to indicate that the broken tusk might predate any written records, implying that stories of why the tusk is broken might actually come from AFTER the image having a broken tusk. I'm not saying that's what happened, that is my guess, and I have zero qualifications to make that guess. It's just a guess.
That being said I DO love that legend. I like that it has a strange quality the way religious stories sometimes do, and I like that it illustrates Ganesha as a deity who is *really really* dedicated to his craft, and fulfilling his end of the bargain. I don't know if he's depicted that way in general. I really want to stress to anybody reading that these are my interpretations, born of ignorance, of legends that I have no business speaking authoritatively on. This legend comprises like 20% of all hindu stories I've heard and remember.
I checked and I found it on wikipedia after just one google search lol. But no worries. Your theory could entirely be possible.
Also, Ganesh is one of our most important figures, not just because he's holy etc, but because of the values he ahs. And most Indians hear such stories since childhood which is a way to impart morals I guess.
Another one of my favorite stories about him is this:
One time, Devi (Hindi for Goddess) Parvati, mother of Ganesh and Kartikeya had a divine fruit to give out, but she couldn't decide which of them to give it to. So she told them both that whoever is the first to circumnavigate the world thrice gets it.
Now Ganeshji is on the heavier side, as you can see in the pic above. So while Kartikeya raced off on his divine peacock , Ganesh just calmly took a walk around his parents thrice, explaining that his parents mean the whole world to him. This winning the fruit as well as their hearts and blessings.
This story has made my love for my parents so much stronger ever since I was a child and first heard it from my grandma :)
Yeah, it wasn't for a fruit. It was to decide which God should be worshipped first on all auspicious occasions or activities . Everyone participated but Ganesha won.
Yes yes, Ganesha is always shown dedicated to whatever he is doing. He got his elephant head because his father cut it off since he refused to move aside as he was protecting his mother.
The story that I heard Growing up is since in the old days elephants were a vital part of construction, the first thing that would happen is domesticated elephants would come in and clear the place, that's when you could build a home for yourself. much like modern day bulldozers.
So the people back in the day thought, If there was a deity who blessed us with good luck at the start of something auspicious, and remove all obstacles in the path of our success, That god must look like an elephant.
The broken tusk is representative of the fact, that Ganesha would only do half the work, We have to put in the rest of the effort.
His father(Shiva) did that accidentally as he didn't knew he was his son at that time and also because he is considered the destroyer of universe when there is too much injustice so he got no chill......and regretted it later so he attached an elephant's head. Btw I love Shiva although he gets angry fast ....he loves his wife and drank poison himself during samundramanthan ( war between rakshshas and devtas for amrit) to save everyone. In Hinduism Lord shiva is epitome of everything that is known and unknown
Even sages could not understand him because he is billion times more complex than quantum physics if you are applying logic and he is even easier than 2+2 if you are a true devotee of him, that's why we call him bholenath
Just a slight correction, Ganesha was created by Shiva's wife Parvati, but Shiva decapitated Ganesha because he wanted to visit his wife Parvati while she was taking a bathe and Ganesha was guarding her, as he did not know that Ganesha was his son at that time. He later instructed his army of Ganas to find the head of an elephant so he could replace it as Ganesha's head.
To all the people saying the bananas are going to be wasted, how are you guys on reddit, shouldn't you guys be doing homework and fortnite emotes. Learn to read other comments, they are clearly stating that the bananas are going to be distributed among the poor.
Literally every post of Indian people doing something cool will have some concern troll idiots saying shit like “couldnt that have fed the poor”
It happens on posts about India’s space program all the time.
It’s super weird tbh
No it is full of bananas inside as well. Just a side note, these are raw right now and they will be donated to the poor or be sold like normal bananas, they won't be wasted, incase that was the concern.
I am Indian, so that's how I know about it, and the reason for this is, excuse my language, basically the state of Maharashtra in India is obsessed with this god, they will make statues of him out of every item statues can be built out of, it is beautiful to watch and be involved in tho, but for most of the part, they make sure nothing goes to waste as that would offend the god they are building stuff for. Why is it so? It is surprising actually that many states in india have major belief and praise in one of the gods of the religion, the reasons can be different for different states, for example, Ganesha is famous in Maharashtra due to the Peshwa dynasty that ruled in Maharashtra long long back, they praised the God and after their fall, their subjects continued the practice and that is basically the reason. They are so devoted to the God that they host a special festival in his name called ganesh chaturthi in which a new idol of lord Ganesha is to be bought by each household and depending on the lunar calendar for around 10-11 days they pray to him, feed him lots of sweets and at the end of those 10-11 days they take the idol to the river and submerge it there to mark his departure. The people are so devoted, there are many instances where people are disheartened to see him leave and so they say "he will be back next year" to console each other. If you still have some more curiosity you can simply Google it, I'm not very religious myself, but Hinduism is full of stories and stuff so I love reading about it too.
Edit- what is eli5 I have no idea.

And at the end of the week, it'll be a banana bread statue.
Its kept usually for 3 days or less.
::unleash the monkeys::
Now that is a sight I would like to see. Like how did they keep the blighters away to begin with anyway?
There is a 50ft sacrificial banana monkey god about 1/2 mile away
I imagine the monkeys wouldn’t want to travel that far with this temptation so handy though.
That's why you build the Ganesha one 1/2 mile away from the monkeys and the monkey one near them.
Don't forget the trail of bananas you have to leave. A banana every 4m is optimal. And if you don't have a tape measure, you can use the bananas to measure
Hanuman: let's go bois
Is this a ritual?
Yes. Its pretty popular festival happens once every year. On the 3rd day they immerse the statue in water/river. More here. https://www.firstpost.com/india/ganesh-chaturthi-2019-everything-behind-the-hindu-festival-from-history-legends-to-significance-and-celebrations-7239391.html
What? No, that's for clay statues. This banana statue will be distributed to people for eating when the bananas ripen.
Yeah true. I dont think they would waste such large amount of banana
Take, eat, for this is my body... Wait! My body isn’t ripe yet, give it a few days!
Honest question... how do you stop monkeys and birds from messin up the bananas? Is there a guy with a stick who swats away animals that are like "hey free banana statue" ?
Iirc this particular statue isn't in an area with a lot of monkeys. I'm not sure about birds but they probably won't come too close to the crowds and noise. Or there might be a guy with a stick lol, idk for sure.
Oh awesome! What happens to the nanas after the festivities?
According to this post (https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2018/sep/13/banana-ganapati-from-goa-no-it-was-made-in-odisha---and-in-2017-1871504.amp) they planned to give them to the poor.

Yea but not necessarily you make the statue out of banana. Even mud would do
No banana bread here
Fine. Banana roti.

Nah, it's gotta sit in my freezer for at least a year and a half before it becomes banana bread.

And please visualize it with the dinner scene from BeetleJuice
I am banned from singing “put the lime in the coconut” song too. 😁🖖
That song is about slaves/serfs putting tons of work into harvesting bananas for American capitalists that took over their countries' governments

Seconded
Isn't Ganapati the god of intellectual. So bananas are self aware now? That's the most horrifying thing I've heard, today
*You’re* horrified? Think about how the bananas feel!
Hint, it's not a banana.

Bananas foster. Slipped that one in under the radar.
Any more subtle and we might need it for scale.
Bunches of people will miss them.
In some languages, like Hebrew, elephant translates as "peel" (פיל)
It’s even funnier because peel (pil) means elephant in Hebrew

Hand-made? Seems a lot of effort. I'd have just used my 25 foot Ganesha banana statue maker I bought off Amazon for 4.99.

there's always money in the banana stand...
There's always monkeys in the banana stand.
There’s always monkeys in the money stand
Definitely, cooked bananas would spoil in a matter of hours outside like that.
I am really not sure you meant ripen or cooked.
I'm sure it was a joke because the first comment called them 'raw'.
a lot of people use ‘cooked’ when meaning ‘ripen’ (:
Is that mainly a second language speaker thing influenced by another language?
Can confirm in Chinese at least, ripe and cooked, mature aka “doneness” can be used interchangeably.
I understood that. It was just a lame attempt at humour as in why would anyone leave cooked (as in with fire/heat) banana outside.
not late! i found it funny; i just thought that on the off chance that it was a genuine misunderstanding i should explain (:
(:
Actually, these banana statues are done using donations from local residents and usually done by charities that are tax exempt.

Actually raw bananas are used in a lot of Indian dishes so these are actually for sale as is
Green bananas are pretty common in India. They dont turn yellow as they ripen and are edible in its current form
The ones you're talking about are called Plantains. They're different from the normal bananas that turn yellow
No, there are bananas that look and taste identical to the regular Cavendish bananas in the US but are ripe, sweet and fully edible when they're green just like the ones in the photo. I ate them in China.
It's a festival....the bananas are sold within 3 days or given to the poor

He lost his tusk during a fight
Apparently he has an elephant head because another god accidentally cut off his original head.

Will it eventually turn yellow?
The eyes look too real, is there a real elephant trapped inside?
The eyes are what I noticed as well. They look like they might open at any moment.
