📝 About Ganesh Chaturthi 2026
Ganesh Chaturthi is a vibrant Hindu festival honoring Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings, celebrated with particular grandeur in Maharashtra, Goa, and Karnataka. During the ten-day festival, elaborately crafted clay idols of Ganesha are installed in homes and public pandals, where devotees offer prayers, sweets such as modak, and perform aarti ceremonies. The festival culminates in Visarjan, a spectacular procession during which the idols are immersed in rivers, lakes, or the sea, symbolizing Ganesha's return to Mount Kailash. In Mumbai alone, over 150,000 public idols are immersed each year, accompanied by music, dancing, and chants of Ganpati Bappa Morya.
