About Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, is one of India’s most celebrated festivals. This year, the 10-day festival began on August 27, 2025. It marks the birth of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings.
Across the country, homes and public places are decorated with beautifully crafted idols of Lord Ganesha. Devotees perform rituals, sing devotional songs, and prepare festive delicacies to mark the occasion.
Celebrations in Mumbai, Pune, and beyond
In cities like Mumbai and Pune, Ganesh Chaturthi takes on a grand scale with elaborate pandals, cultural events, and processions. Lakhs of devotees visit popular mandals to seek blessings during the festival. The celebrations are marked not just by devotion, but also by art, music, and a strong sense of community.
At the same time, eco-friendly Ganesh Chaturthi is gaining momentum, with many groups encouraging the use of clay idols and sustainable decorations. The idea is to celebrate with devotion while also caring for the environment.
The farewell procession
The festival concludes with Ganesh Visarjan, the immersion of idols in water, which takes place on the 10th day. Thousands of devotees participate in processions, chanting “Ganpati Bappa Morya” as they bid farewell to the deity. The immersion is both a grand spectacle and an emotional moment, symbolizing Lord Ganesha’s return to his celestial abode.
