What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Ganesha festival is influencing local service and transport demand in Hyderabad. One idol transport operator with a fleet of five vehicles received around 30 bookings, earning Rs 8 lakh, which was 40 per cent higher than last year. However, another transport provider, Sameer Khan, reported lower demand because some organizers were hiring tractors from suburban areas. Separately, a festival in San Ramon drew an estimated 25,000 visitors for devotional programs and cultural performances.
