Khairatabad Ganesh idol to be smaller than previous year for 1st time in 66 yrs

Hyderabad's famed Khairatabad Ganesh idol will not be taller than the previous year's idol for the first time in 66 years. It has been a longstanding tradition to raise the idol's height by one foot every year. A 27-feet-tall clay idol will be installed instead of the one made using plaster of paris.
