Ganapati bappa moriya! !!!!!

Yeah! U may already hear ppl shouting this! Ganesh Chaturti is very popular festival in India! Specially in maharashtra! I ve seen ppl celebrating ganeshchaturti in Mumbai as well as in Karnataka. This festival is more of a party than religious ! I ve seen ppl celebrating it like “Sarvajanik Ganapati” it means they worship lord ganesha’s idol in an area or a street so tat the public can come . its more like a temple for a few days. A group of ppl celebrate it in almost each and every street. Well, unfortunately I am a part of one such group. Wat they do is collect as much as funds possible from that locality and then spend it lavishly. The main aim is to get the biggest possible idol available! Wat crap man! I mean, wen we seriously want to worship, why not a small idol! Why a 12 to 15 feet tall one???? Its madness! Wat they aim is to get more fame than the group in the next road! Tats it! and its not their money too! Apart from all this, wat all happens in the night in that place is un imaginable! Name the stuff and u get it! be it sutta, daru and at last playing cards! Can u imagine! The festival is for 2 days, but they keep the idol for like many days. May be 3, 5, 7,9 or 11. and on the day of “visarjan”( it means submerging the idol in any river or any water source) they take out a huge procession! Full wit drums, dance, fireworks and wat not! Well, I m sorry to say this , but this is wat really happening! I hope what all I spoke is not controversial! Anyways, I don care! Democratic country we live in! freedom of speech everyone has! Jai Hind!!!
