New Delhi: Puneeth Rajkumar is no more but his stardom is surely permanent. This Ganesh Chaturthi, idol makers and fans found a special way to keep his memory alive and that too in the form of well-designed busts of the late actor.

Many residents in Bangalore were spotted buying the bust of the late actor along with the idols of Lord Ganesha. Puneeth Rajkumar passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest on October 29 last year. He was popularly known as `Powerstar` for his strong performance in a number of commercially-successful Kannada films. 

Here are the some of the posts which the fans of the late actor shared on twitter:

Every Ganesha Habba we should have Appu photo and should do pooje not because he is God but to transfer the legacy what he has done as human beings and present right idol to next Gen.

I want him and his ideology to stay till eternity.
