Every occasion needs money. Some make personal profit. care should be taken to donate only for own colony or nearby celebration. The money collected should be properly utilized. However, some misuse cannot be totally avoided.

Nice point stated Nagalakshmi.. :lol: It is true..these loud spekers play continue and create nuisance throughout day..especially some people dont know what to play and put some Remix pop songs...In exams time it is like hit with a hammer on hand...even if we close the doors and windows there is no way to escape.. :dry: :)
I agree with chinmoy that these association if work properly then donating is not a big problem..
It's really refreshing 2 b part of THE Ganesh Chaturthi festivities
Ganpatibapaa brings a new favour to life and a new direction 2 mind every year,we tell him-"phudchya vaarshi lavkar ya" and lo there he comes again with a renewed hope and a bright future.
We celebrate Durga Pooja in a big way in this eastern parts of the country and many clubs raise funds to the tune of a few crores
through corporate sponsorships and individual subscription.As is evident that some big money is involved ,there should be an effective monitoring of its end use.The need for strict audit can hardly be overemphasized.
