Ganesh Chaturthi as we know it today, has a fascinating story behind it.
For centuries, Ganpati was primarily welcomed into homes. Then in the late 19th century, the festival began moving into public spaces and communities started celebrating Bappa together.
From early public celebrations in Pune to the first Sarvajanik Ganpati celebrations in Mumbai, the festival slowly grew into something much bigger.
The scale may have changed over the years but the feeling of coming together for Bappa remains the same. ❤️
Did you know how the public Ganpati tradition began?
