Ganesha’s going green this year and is indeed widely known to be a festival of, for and by the Maharashtrian community. Ganeshotsav is celebrated in Maharashtra on a grand scale with devotion and celebration in the air and comes with no words to explain. It is a festive fervour in the city of Mumbai with rather not only Maharashtrians but all communities ushering the blessings of the Lord and bringing Ganesha to their homes.

Chanting of slokas, sporting the familiar Maharashtrian traditional caps besides wearing tilaks on the forehead, it is unbounded excitement all the way filled with hopes of prosperity in each one’s mind.The simplest avatar, the no-frills ukdiche modak remains most popular with devotees. Be it the famous Lalbaug cha raja or Keshavji Naik chawl Ganpati and beautiful raigad Ganapati murti’s, they are so beautiful that one feels the idols have almost become live.

Ganesh chaturthi is an experience to be cherished and the Hindu way of leaving the past and to get on with the present…this Land of the Gods, Bharat is verily a place that Gods choose to be…

Blessed are the souls who are born in this Land…Where all creation is worshiped as the saying goes –The creator and the creation are one.
