New Delhi: The auspicious Ganpati Utsav which began on September 2 with Ganesh Chaturthi will come to an end on Anant Chaturdashi (September 12) this year. In Maharashtra, Ganesh Utsav is one of the major festivals celebrated.
Devotees welcome Bappa home with much gusto and energy. After praying to him for days, the Lord is given a tearful farewell but with a promise to return to his devotees' abodes the very next year.
The goodbye is mixed with tears, dance, joy and Bappa bhajans.
