Ganesh Chaturthi | Maharashtra gears up for ‘Ganesh Chaturthi’

Maharashtra is gearing up to celebrate ‘Ganesh Chaturthi’, the popular festival that celebrated the birth of Lord Ganesh. The festival begins August 23 and would continue for ten days. At the end of the 10-day long festival, idols of Lord Ganesha are taken out in grand processions and immersed in water bodies. Artisans have been busy giving final touches to idols.

Residents of the state are reportedly praying to rid them of the swine flu virus.

‘I do not think that the virus is going to make much of a difference to the mood of the festival. We pray to the lord to ward off this problem faced by the country and by Maharashtra particularly,’ said Sanjay Shirke, the president of the Chinchpokhli Ganesh Utsav Mandal, an organisation that celebrates the festival.
