The red-clothed,
Towering, robust,
Idol of Lord Ganesha,
Mesmerizes,
The common man,
The Ganesha,
Mounted on,
A mouse,
With a,
Trishul in,
His hands,
Is a symbol of power,
The gigantic figure,
Of vighnharta,
Makes us feel,
The true presence,
Of God,
Regains our faith,
Trust,
Belief,
And lets us,
Surrender,
To the
Almighty,
And leaves,
Us vibrant and cheerful.
