Ganesh Chaturthi: A Festival That Brings People Together

As I hear the drums beating, I rush down to the main gate. Electricity flowing through my veins and eyes gaping in awe, every year I spend hours, just looking at Ganpati processions. Trucks decorated, wearing colours and lights of this world, while the band plays a music so powerful that I mentally dance for hours. The murti (statue) of Lord Ganesha immersed in the best of affluence, while people live each and every moment of this time, such processions are a treat to watch.<br><br>Read more: https://mantisfunda.com/2019/09/02/ganesh-chaturthi-ganpati-festival-mumbai-india-that-brings-people-together/

  2. As I hear the drums beating, I rush down to the main gate. Electricity flowing through my veins and eyes gaping in awe, every year I spend hours, just looking at Ganpati processions. Trucks decorated, wearing colours and lights of this world, while the band plays a music so powerful that I mentally dance for hours. The murti (statue) of Lord Ganesha immersed in the best of affluence, while people live each and every moment of this time, such processions are a treat to watch. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/09/02/ganesh-chaturthi-ganpati-festival-mumbai-india-that-brings-people-together/

  3. Yes, you guessed it right. Based out of Mumbai, we are hardcore fans of Ganesh Chaturthi, the festival that forces the city that never sleeps to stop, rest and then work in full swing, only to prepare for welcoming their beloved God. Generally falling in the months of September or October, this festival brings out all the creativity and spirituality of each and every Mumbaikar. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/09/02/ganesh-chaturthi-ganpati-festival-mumbai-india-that-brings-people-together/

  4. For 10 days, the whole city dresses in shimmery lights and glittery colours. No place is left in dark and no lane is deserted. With GanpatiPandals (Tents) established at every corner of the city, the God is present everywhere, in various forms, to bless his disciples. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/09/02/ganesh-chaturthi-ganpati-festival-mumbai-india-that-brings-people-together/

  5. People put their work in the backseat and the Lord becomes their topmost priority. Usually an impossible phenomenon wherein Mumbaikars stop dreaming but start believing, this festival of Ganesh Chaturthi comes in as a breather for the residents of the city of dreams. The festival reminds these people to live their life; it blends them in the ambience of music and opens their eyes to absorb new colours. It teaches them to get back together and celebrate one and only single purpose, that is the arrival of their Lord. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/09/02/ganesh-chaturthi-ganpati-festival-mumbai-india-that-brings-people-together/

  6. On an ordinary day if you ask anyone from Mumbai to spare a minute, they will give you 10 reasons to evade it. But during these 10 days of the festival, these very people spend hours, standing in queues, only to see the face of their God. This is the passion of Mumbai for Ganesh Chaturthi, such is the love of this city for Lord Ganesha. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/09/02/ganesh-chaturthi-ganpati-festival-mumbai-india-that-brings-people-together/

  7. On the last day of this festival, the whole city gets together to see off their saviour, with a hope to see him sooner in the next year. This is the time of grief and bliss, the very time of hope and confidence. People sing, dance and walk for miles, carrying the statue of the Lord towards the sea, where it is immersed. Though the festival ends after 10 days, it leaves behind a trace of pure glee to linger around for long. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi! https://mantisfunda.com/2019/09/02/ganesh-chaturthi-ganpati-festival-mumbai-india-that-brings-people-together/
