Ganesh Chaturthi Festivities

Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Ganeshotsav, is a 10-day festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, revered as the deity of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune.

The festival begins with the sthapana (installation) of the idol on the Chaturthi tithi and concludes on Anant Chaturdashi with Ganesh Visarjan, where idols are immersed in water with vibrant processions, music, and chants of ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya!’ echoing through the streets.
