    Rather than Garland an idol - Blessings would come aplenty had the same amount of money been tourned into cash and used for the upliftment of the poor or some needy student of their own community. Wonder when we Indians will be practical and go beyond traditions that hold no value in todays world, where the need of the hour is to see improvement in the life of the people and not beautifying an idol that will not know ehther the garland is made of Gold or of aluminium ..
