Ganesh Chaturthi festival is celebrated every year with great enthusiasm in India especially in Maharashtra. Thousands of devotees throng the temples and 'Ganeshotsav pandals' to offer prayers. The ten-day festival begins on Chaturthi Tithi and ends on Anant Chaturdashi. The year 2022 has brought back the traditional fervour of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival after the Covid-19 pandemic eased. Most of the restrictions imposed last year have been lifted.
