Festive Celebrations

Ganesh Chaturthi, the festival honouring the favourite god of Maharashtra is celebrated with great pomp. During this, beautifully decorated idols of Ganesha are placed on specially made structures bedecked with flowers and bright lights. Prayers and other offerings are then made to the idols along with the lord's favourite sweet modak. This festival culminates after 10 days, with the immersion of the idol in the lake.
