Replete with intricate traditional craftsmanship like Filigree work and Nakashi, seven different crowns had been created for Ganpati Bappa. The ornaments include meticulously handcrafted Ganesh Mukut, seven changeable Zali (front part of Mukut) and seven changeable Prabhaval (net around the Mukut), Uparna, Angarkha, Pitambar, Kaan (ear), Shunda Bhushan and a necklace. Designed to perfection, these beautiful jewels are adorned with lotus, Kalash, elephant, Kirtimukh, peacock and trident and are carved using gold, emeralds, rubies and white diamonds.
