I still miss the parks of Lucknow. This is from Janeshwar Mishra Park in Gomti Nagar which I use to go for running. Amazing atmosphere and lot of synthetic running tracks and greenery all around. Additionally parks were open till 9 with a lot of good lighting around to make you feel safe.

I miss that in Hyderabad and I believe more and more parks should be developed. Isn't it????

🙏 GANPATI BAPPA MORIYA!🐘❤️

Hyderabad gets ready for its grandest celebration!

If there is one festival that can transform Hyderabad into a sea of lights, music, devotion and gigantic idols, it is Ganesh Chaturthi! 🎉

This year, Ganesh Chaturthi falls on Monday, 14 September 2026, with the 10-day celebrations culminating around Anant Chaturdashi.

And if you're planning a Ganesh Pandal Trail in Hyderabad, here are some of the iconic stops you shouldn't miss 👇

📍 1. Khairatabad Maha Ganesh
The undisputed superstar of Hyderabad's Ganesh celebrations! ❤️
The tradition dates back to 1954, and the towering idol has become synonymous with Hyderabad's Ganeshotsav. In 2026, the attraction is a 69-foot Panchamukha Sankatahara Maha Ganapati**.

📍 2. Balapur Ganesh
Famous not just for the idol but also for the legendary Balapur Laddu auction. The laddu tradition has become one of the most talked-about highlights of Hyderabad's Ganesh festivities.

📍 3. Nagole Ganesh
Another giant making headlines this year is the 72-foot Ashta-Siddhi Ganapati. A spectacular stop for those who love Hyderabad's larger-than-life celebrations.

📍 4. Vanasthalipuram Ganesh
Look out for the 40-foot Lakshmi-Narasimha Ganapati — another impressive addition to this year's giant-idol trail.

📍 5. Begum Bazaar & Dhoolpet
For a more traditional Old Hyderabad Ganeshotsav experience, explore the neighbourhood pandals around Begum Bazaar, Dhoolpet and the surrounding areas. The atmosphere here is as much about community, music and street culture as it is about the idols.

🍽️ And then comes the FOOD!

What's a Hyderabad festival trail without food? 😋

From hot mirchi bajji and samosas to Irani chai, biryani and festive sweets, Ganesh pandal hopping can easily turn into a delicious Hyderabad food trail!

📸 Our tip: Start early, carry water, expect crowds and traffic, and respect photography restrictions around individual pandals.

✨ Hyderabad during Ganesh Chaturthi isn't just a festival. It's an experience — devotion, art, food, music and community coming together in one incredible city.

So, which Ganesh pandal is your favourite in Hyderabad? Tell us in the comments! 👇
