Ganesh Chathurti
Home Coming of God Ganesha
Every year, just when the rains begin to tire and the sun peeks out with a sly grin, India throws the grandest welcome party you can imagine—not for a celebrity, not for a king, but for the pot-bellied, elephant-headed god who somehow manages to ride a mouse. Yes, it’s Ganesh Chaturthi, when homes turn into temples, kitchens into sweet shops, and streets into carnivals of color, music, and emotion. From mothers whispering prayers over clay idols to children sneaking extra modaks (because, let’s be honest, even Ganesha wouldn’t say no), this festival is less about ritual and more about family, hope, and that bittersweet goodbye when idols are carried away to the sea. It’s emotional, it’s noisy, it’s joyful—and it’s India at its most beautiful.
