20 questions, and Ganesh will appear

Residents of Bidar will be treated to a very special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati this Ganesh festival.
Yogesh Pathak, an ardent fan of Amitabh Bachchan, has taken inspiration from the game show hosted by the thespian, while installing the Ganesh idol this year.
The platform has mannequins representing the Bollywood superstar and 20 participants on hot seats. A recorded voice asks questions based on mythology and the scriptures, and each participant gives answers. After 20 questions, the Ganesh idol emerges from the background.
A short scene of the meeting of Krishna and his friend Sudama will also be shown on stage.
The installation on the Raghavendra temple premises will be inaugurated on Wednesday.
“The installation took nearly eight months of hard work,” Mr. Pathak told presspersons here on Tuesday.
He has been installing Ganesh idols in the old city for seven years now.
“After the festival is over, I keep thinking about next year’s installation. I like to try new things,” he said.
The installation cost Rs. 3.5 lakh. The Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Samaj Seva Charitable Trust and Srirang Ganesh Mandal extended support, Mr. Pathak said.
