KALYAN: Vijay Tarun Mandal, known for social work in Kalyan for several years, this year has kept the decoration simple and saved Rs 1.5 lakh, of which they have given Rs 1 lakh to the mother of a girl, Mayuri Suryavanshi (23), suffering from brain tumour.
The remaining Rs 50,000 was donated to a poor blind student for his education.
The mandal is celebrating its 58th Ganesh festival in Rambaug, and is famous for its unique issue-based decorations. This year, it did not have a pandal, and did social work.
The Ganesh idol is placed at Dutta Mandir nearby.
Mayuri’s mother said: “I am very happy someone has come forward to help my daughter.”
