Every year, devotees bring Bappa home and this year too celebs including Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Arpita Khan Sharma, Shraddha Kapoor, the Ambanis, Sonu Sood, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Vivek Oberoi and many others welcomed the Lord.

In Maharashtra, Ganesh Chaturthi is a major festival and it happens to be a 10-day long affair.

Therefore chants of Ganpati Bappa Morya Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya can be heard all around.
