TAKE A LOOK AT THE VISUALS:
The post was shared by @ayotarun. The caption of the visual reads, "They've lit up this under-construction building in this manner for Ganpati celebrations. Love it when people get creative."
Building Lit Up In The Shape Of Lord Ganesha:
The illumination was kind of a tribute to Lord Ganesha in the midst of the Ganesh festival, which especially Mumbaikars celebrate with all their hearts. This display not only reflects the cultural connection Mumbaikars have with lord Ganesha but also showcases the innovative ways in which technology can be used.
This kind of lighting arrangement requires precision in design, planning, and execution, as the building’s framework needs to accommodate light strips at exact points to create the visual illusion of the face of Bappa. For onlookers, especially at night, the sight appears as if Bappa himself is blessing the city from the skyline.
