\par
\par The \cf4\b Bada\cf0\b0 \cf5\b Ganapati\cf0\b0 statue has been built with a queer admixture of materials like bricks, limestone, jaggery mix, soil collected from seven Mokshapuri, powder of five atnas and water from sacred rivers. The appeal of the \cf4\b Bada\cf0\b0 \cf5\b Ganapati\cf0\b0 statue comes from the fact that its metallic frame is made up of gold, silver, copper, iron and brass. The \cf4\b Bada\cf0\b0 \cf5\b Ganapati\cf0\b0 statue is brightly coloured in orange. \par
