As the Ganesha festival unfolds across India, thousands of pandal are captivating onlookers with their diverse and imaginative themes. However, one pandal in Piplod, Surat, stands out not only for its unique decorations but for its remarkable commitment to serving the poor and needy during the 10-day celebration.
Ornob Moitra and his wife Juhi Moitra, along with a dedicated group of friends, have been observing the Ganesha festival in a distinct way. For the past three years, they have organized a Ganesha pandal in Piplod, but their true distinction lies in their ongoing mission of feeding approximately 1,000 underprivileged individuals each day throughout the festival.
Remarkably, Ornob and his team have been serving the less fortunate in Piplod through 'Bhandara' for the past five years. What sets their endeavor apart is their refusal to accept monetary donations from anyone. Instead, they view this service as a selfless act of compassion and goodwill towards their fellow citizens.
Ornob Moitra, who runs a prominent event management company with a presence in Surat and Mumbai, stated, "Our objective is to contribute to society by providing food to those in need and distributing stationery to underprivileged children. Members of our group collectively fund the expenses incurred during the daily Bhandaras, ensuring that the hungry in Piplod are provided for."
Colours Events & Activations, a Surat-based event management company, has been serving clients nationwide for over 11 years. The company specializes in commercial events and the creation of intellectual properties that deliver value and impact to various stakeholders.
