Malaysia, 16 Sept 2026 — Beyond the star-studded guest list and grandeur, this year's Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at Antilia placed a deep focus on honoring traditional Indian craftsmanship. Under the creative vision of Nita Ambani, the family’s Mumbai residence was decorated with handcrafted installations created by regional artisans and local craftspeople from across the country. The decorations bypassed mass-produced setups in favor of time-honored artistic techniques, transforming the event into a showcase of India's cultural heritage.  

*Key Craftsmanship Highlights:*Handmade Installations: Intricate, hand-carved wall designs and vibrant handcrafted figurines were specially crafted and installed across the main venues.

*Heritage Art Forms* : Traditional methods—ranging from regional textile weaving to classic clay and wooden figures—were blended into the floral light displays.  

*Support for Local Talent:* The initiative was designed to give national visibility to skilled artisans whose work is central to preserving India's traditional art forms.  

By putting traditional techniques at the heart of their festive decor, the celebration combined customary grand rituals with a strong focus on empowering India's local artisan community.
