Ganesh Chaturthi, which falls on the fourth day of the Hindu month of Bhadrapada, begins on August 27 this year. Also known as Vinayak Chaturthi or Vinayak Chavithi, the festival honors Lord Ganesha as the remover of obstacles, the god of new beginnings, wisdom, and intelligence.

While the festival is observed across India, Maharashtra-especially Mumbai-celebrates it with unmatched grandeur. Lakhs of devotees throng pandals to seek blessings, while households welcome idols, observe fasts, prepare festive delicacies, and immerse themselves in the joy of the occasion.
