Bhiwandi Family’s Ganpati Decoration Revives Chawl Memories, Showcasing Lost Community Bonds In High-Rise Era
Aapli Athvaninchi Chawl, a Ganeshotsav display by the Dnyaneshwar Chintewar family in Bhiwandi, highlights the shift from close-knit chawl communities to modern high-rise living. The presentation recreates shared memories of neighbours, festivals and support systems, while asking whether larger homes have reduced social bonds.
