The act of stealing the laddoo was caught by a camera installed inside the Ganpati pandal.
Greed can make people do unimaginable things. In Hyderabad, it made a man rob Lord Ganesha.
The incident took place at Sainadhapuram locality in Neredmet area of Hyderabad in the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday.
The
thief, who is yet to be identified, entered a Ganpati pandal and ran
away with a laddoo. One of the Ganpati puja organiser, who was sleeping
inside the pandal, woke up on hearing some noise. He tried to catch the
laddoo thief but failed.
The entire incident was however captured
by a camera installed inside the Ganpati pandal. Police have launched a
search for the laddoo thief based on the CCTV footage.
Laddoos are of great importance in the twin states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
Worshippers
in these two southern states believe that laddoos, which are said to be
a favourite with Ganesha, bring luck and prosperity.
Laddoos
offered to Ganesha at some of the most popular pandals in Andhra Pradesh
and Telangana are auctioned during Ganesh Chaturthi and fetch lakhs of
rupees from worshippers.
This year, a famous sweet-maker from
Rajamahendravaram city of Andhra Pradesh has offered a laddoo weighing
500 kg to the 12-foot Ganesha idol installed by Film Nagar Daiva
Sannidhanam in Hyderabad.
The Balapur Ganesh idol has been offered
two laddoos weighing 21 kg each which will be auctioned at the end of
the festival. Last year, a Balapur Ganesh laddoo fetched Rs 14.65
lakh.
Beyond laddoos, a Ganesha idol in Nagulapada village
in Guntur district has been decorated with new Rs 2,000 currency notes.
The pandal too has been decorated with Rs 2,000 currency notes. The
decoration reportedly cost the organisers an estimated Rs 6.6 crore.
