On the spiritual front, residents were treated to a soulful Kirtan performed by ISKCON , elevating the devotional atmosphere.
One of the standout events of the festival was Talent NITE, where children delighted the audience with their remarkable performances.

The festive energy continued with Dance Nite,where children performed a range of dance styles, from traditional and devotional to popular Bollywood numbers. The event was filled with passion and excitement, showcasing the community’s versatile talents.
A significant part of the Ganesh Utsav was the traditional Haldi Kumkum Function, a favorite among the women of the society. This vibrant ceremony, symbolizing unity and sisterhood, was celebrated with great fanfare, as the ladies exchanged haldi (turmeric) and kumkum (vermilion) in a colorful gathering.
The much-awaited Prize Distribution Ceremony took place on Anant Chaturdashi, where every participant was recognized, keeping the tradition of GREEN VALLEY CHA SUKHKARTA, the society awarded prizes to all participants, emphasizing unity over competition by branding the events as “NITE” rather than contests.
The celebrations culminated with a grand Maha Aarti and an energetic Visarjan Procession, where residents danced to the beats of Dhol Tasha, joyously bidding farewell to Lord Ganesha with hearts full of devotion.
At Green Valley, Ganesh Utsav is more than a festival—it’s a time for the community to come together, share in the devotion, enjoy cultural programs, and savor the delicious prasad. The society eagerly looks forward to this cherished time every year, celebrating unity, tradition, and devotion.
