    With the Karnataka High Court allowing Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at the Idgah
    ground in Hubli, a Hindu organisation, which has been awarded the contract by the
    Huballi Dharwad Municipal Corporation, has gone ahead and erected a pandal on the
    ground with a Ganesh idol for prayers. The Rani Chennamma Gajanan Utsav
    Mahamandal, headed by Vishwa Hindu Parishad district president Sanjeev Badaskar
    installed the Ganesh idol even as the Anjuman-e-Islam has moved the Supreme Court
    challenging the Karnataka High Court order. With the Supreme Court separately not
    allowing Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at another Idgah Maidan at Chamarajpet in
    Bengaluru, the politics of religious symbolism and identity is once again centrestage in
    Karnataka.
