In the picturesque village of Chandor, the Sheldekar family
has upheld an extraordinary tradition for an impressive 250 years. Their
enduring practice revolves around the annual celebration of Lord Ganesh’s
arrival and the subsequent immersion ceremony. Year after year, generation
after generation, the Sheldekar clan has unwaveringly preserved these beloved
rituals, passing them down as cherished legacies.
Their ancestral home, a resilient presence amidst the
modernity of concrete structures, serves as a living testament to this
tradition. Vishnu Sheldekar reveals the intriguing information behind their
unique abode: he stated that parts of the structures of the house are built
entirely from an unconventional amalgamation of jaggery and mud, devoid of any
cement, showcasing their deep-rooted connection to the land and heritage.
