Our country is known for its diversity, especially when it comes to celebrating a festival, and each state has its own favorite festival. For example, Navaratri is famous in Gujarat, whereas Durga Puja is very popular and is a much-celebrated festival in Kolkata. Ganesh Chaturthi has been one of the most awaited festivals in India, especially in Maharashtra, and is celebrated with immense joy, devotion, and enthusiasm by all ages and people from various backgrounds as they celebrate this beautiful festival in praise of the lord Ganesha.
However, unlike earlier days when Ganesh Chaturthi was celebrated only in Maharashtra, it is not so now, as the festival has gained popularity in other states of India as well and is now celebrated in full swing across the country during the ten-day-long celebration.
People around the globe celebrate Lord Ganesha’s annual festival with rituals and devotion, showcasing diverse styles and traditions. Countries like Canada, Mauritius, Nepal, Singapore, the USA, the UK, Myanmar, and France, to name a few, have been celebrating on a large scale traditionally. Millions of Indians come together to worship the Elephant God, affectionately known as Ganesha.
