Hyderabad is buzzing with festive spirit as Ganesh Chaturthi pandals draw thousands of devotees across the city. From giant idols to traditional set-ups, here are some of the must-visit Ganesh pandals in Hyderabad this year.

Khairtabad Bada Ganesh

A landmark of Hyderabad’s Ganesh celebrations, the Khairtabad Bada Ganesh is unmissable. This year, the eco-friendly idol stands tall at 50 feet, designed as Mahalakshmi Panchmukha Ganapati. The grand visarjan procession here is one of the biggest attractions. Devotees are advised to take the metro to avoid heavy traffic.

Begum Bazar

Known for its vibrant display of unique Ganesh idols, Begum Bazar is a crowd favorite. This year, the box cricket-themed Ganesh idol at Hindi Nagar is the highlight, drawing huge footfall. While some pandals here are quirky, many are admired for their simplicity.

Balapur Ganesh

Famous as Hyderabad’s oldest Ganesh pandal, Balapur is renowned for its Laddu Auction tradition that began in 1994. This year’s pandal is modeled after the Arunachalam Temple, with an 18-foot idol attracting over 10,000 devotees daily.

Dhoolpet

Dhoolpet, widely known for crafting Ganesh idols, also hosts traditional pandals. Unlike other areas, these pandals avoid flashy music or lights, focusing instead on a cultural and devotional experience.

Other Pandals to Explore

Apart from the major ones, the pandals at Gowlipura and Osmangunj are also worth visiting for their charm and festive atmosphere.

With just a few days left before visarjan, devotees in Hyderabad are making the most of the celebrations by hopping across these iconic pandals.
