Ganesh Chaturthi Greetings from Arunachal Pradesh!
In Injonu village, 19 km from Roing in Lower Dibang Valley district, an ancient granite idol of Bhagwan Ganesh was discovered while tilling a field?
Archaeologists have dated this remarkable idol to around the 7th– 9th century CE. The 4-armed Ganesh, seated with his vahana (the mouse) at the base, carries a hand-axe and conch, and bears the graceful pot-bellied form seen in early medieval iconography.
Locals preserved it as divine manifestation, and today it is worshipped in a small temple by the very Idu Mishmi priest who found it, an inspiring story of faith, transformation, and the living continuity of Sanatan Dharma in the farthest corners of the Northeast.
On this Ganesh Chaturthi, let the divine light shine from Maharashtra to Arunachal with the same eternal radiance.
