As well as statues of Lord Ganesha made from synthetic materials and hand sculpted one—traditional clay moulded statues of the Lord were available for the 2017 Ganesha Chaturthi Festival.
Devotees bring their own bench from home to carry their personaly created Lord back to their home and Puja Room.

The above gent had a large crowd of Ganesha devotees around him throughout the day, eager to purchase one of the moulded statue he made.
This particular man (who is local and well know) is a successful businessman who loves to serve the Lord. Wonderful smile. He looks so happy playing with the clay.
