Ganesh Chaturthi 2021: The ten-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival starts tomorrow. Every year Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with great fervour in the country with thousands of devotees visiting temples and pandals to offer prayers. This year, Ganeshotsav festivities have been scaled down amid the coronavirus pandemic. Huge gatherings and large idols in pandals are not allowed but that does not mean we cannot celebrate at home with Ganpati Bappa. This year aarti and darshan will also be online at most pandals.
We have thought ways to help you celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi by maintaining social distance. Here are some suggestions:
Ganesh Chaturthi 2020: Make celebrations special this year
- By now you must have brought Ganpati Bappa home. Meet up with friends on video call, Zoom or any online platform and exchange ideas of decoration and lights
- Exchange rangoli patterns on WhatsApp or email
- Discuss food items that you will prepare for Ganpati Bappa - kinds of modaks, ladoos, kheer and other favourite items of Ganesha.
- Clothes are a very important part of festivities. 'Who will wear what' must be sorted out today. Take selfies with Bappa and share.
