Also gave us the number of idols to be placed and boosted our confidence by mentioning that unsold idols will be bought by the association thus saving us from any loss. Jitu and Anilkumar BVN have approached many vendors of ganesha idols and placed order from the ganesha idol maker from K R Puram. The idols of 17inch and 19 inch came at Rs 100/- per idol and the transportation came to Rs 250/- for all 25 idols On 10th, Srinivas and Anilkumar BVN have brought the idols from KR Puram idol makers location to BEML layout.
