π’ The Challenges of Selling Ganesh Idols Online & How Majha Morya Overcame Them
Introduction: The Difficulties of Selling Ganesh Idols Online
Buying Ganesh idols online is a convenient yet challenging experience for devotees. When we launched Majha Morya in July 2014, our goal was to simplify the process and provide high-quality Ganesh Murtis delivered safely to homes across India.
However, we quickly realized that selling Ganesh Murtis online came with several challenges:
β
Price fluctuations & last-minute hikes in local markets
β
Ganpati idol delivery issues & fragile product handling
β
Limited availability of eco-friendly Ganpati idols online
β
Lack of trust in online Ganesh Murti booking
Through innovation, technology, and customer-first solutions, Majha Morya overcame these obstacles and built a seamless online Ganesh idol shopping experience.
1οΈβ£ Starting the Journey: Finding Customers Online (2014β2016)
Our journey began by creating our first Facebook page and reaching out to customers searching for Ganesh idols online. Through social media marketing, we started generating leads, but we soon encountered roadblocks:
π§ No real-time inventory tracking, leading to confusion about product availability.
π§ Difficulty in sharing multiple Ganesh Murti designs on WhatsApp.
Solution:
We realized we needed a website for Ganpati idol booking, making browsing and purchasing easier for customers.
2οΈβ£ Launching Our First Website & Learning from Setbacks (2017β2019)
In 2017, we launched www.majhamorya.in, aiming to revolutionize the Ganesh idol shopping experience. Alongside this, we introduced the Majha Morya Aarti Sangrah application, offering a glimpse into how online solutions could enhance festival experiences digitally. The app was even covered by The Indian Express β read the article here.

However, we encountered fresh challenges:
β Low website traffic β Most customers still preferred offline Ganesh Murti shopping.
β High technology maintenance costs, making it difficult to sustain.
To solve this, we pivoted to a franchise model, opening 5β7 physical stores in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Thane. But even this came with challenges β standardizing the customer experience across multiple locations was difficult.
3οΈβ£ COVID-19 & The First Breakthrough (2020β2021)
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 changed everything. We launched the Majha Morya E-Store Android App, allowing customers to book Ganesh idols online with doorstep delivery.
π Our turning point came when ABP Majha featured our story, bringing in a huge wave of inquiries.
This was when we made our first large-scale Ganesh idol deliveries in Navi Mumbai & Thane.
However, the next year, we faced another hurdle:
π§ Customers uninstalled the app after the festival, making retention a challenge.
Solution:
πΉ Instead of relying solely on an app, we restructured our online store for a smooth website and WhatsApp shopping experience.
