The festival, marking the birth of Lord Ganesha, is celebrated over 10 days with grandeur and devotion. People have shared images of elaborately decorated Ganesha idols,

some standing several feet tall. In many homes, smaller idols are worshiped, followed by daily prayers, aartis, and offerings of modaks, the favorite sweet of Ganesha(Republic World).

Celebrities, too, are embracing the festive spirit, with stars like Ananya Panday sharing glimpses of their personal celebrations on social media(Republic World).

Pandals are competing to showcase intricate themes and eco-friendly setups, adding a modern touch to the traditional festivities.

The festival will conclude with the immersion of the Ganesha idols, a highly anticipated ritual symbolizing the deity’s return to his heavenly abode, after which devotees will chant “Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya” (Come back soon next year, Lord Ganesha!).

This year’s celebrations highlight sustainability, with several communities opting for clay idols and water conservation efforts during the immersion process​(Hindustan Times)​(ABP Live). As the festival progresses, authorities have ramped up security measures to ensure smooth and safe celebrations across cities.
