Every year, as Ganesh Chaturthi and Navratri bring color, devotion, and togetherness to cities across India, sculptors work quietly behind the scenes to give shape to the divine.

New Delhi: State-run oil company Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd reported a massive increase in its July-September quarter net profit for Q2 FY 2025-26.
