Glimpse of Indian Festival Celebration - Welcoming "Bappa"

in #india5 years ago

Whenever there is a topic about India, the first things that comes in everyone mind is the number of festival celebrated in different part with utmost joyous mood.

The vibrant glimpse of India can be seen just by attending any of the festival that are celebrated in different parts of India during any season. Infact most of Indian Festival starts with celebration of "Ganesh Mahotsav" or "Vinayak Chaturthi". As per Hindu tradition, it was assumed that lord Ganesha comes to earth during these days and stayed for a week. The 7 days long festival started this year on 02 - Sept and ending today.f you want to take any Indians words then we must say, Ganesha is one of the fovurites and most loved God among people of India. Loving called as BAPPA

During Ganesh festival many pandals were we set up with a special stage and tent decorated with garlands and colourful cloth to worship in general public.

Not only this, many people take Ganesha Idol at home and worship it with morning and evening prayers. Considered as God to remove all obstacle and bringing wealth and prosperity in life. Like every year, we had celebration in Faridabad by the local leaders in association with local residents.

The arrangement was fantastic and we get to see a big tent and face of Ganesha on each part of the tent.

That is kind of welcome set up right at the entrance, which resembles like the head of Ganesha. It has face of an elephant, and there is a long story in Shiva Mahapuran. Well the 7 days long celebration has many things to showcase with art , and many cultural activities. If you see around anywhere you will able to see the glimpse of Ganesha in all part of it.

The tent is built so big that can accomodate many people. Not only we have a stage for Lord Ganesha but we also have another set up for live concert / orchestra. The sound of "Ganpati Bappa Morya" keep ecoing in every ear.
People chants devotional songs and have all night hymns and chanting on the stage with some live performances from audience and artist.

It's not only about one pandal. There were many such pandals built in different localities. One thing is pretty common, you will get to see the lot of rush in each pandals. And loads of enthusiasm among all the public. Be it day or night people keep thronging to these pandals to take blessings from lord Ganesha.

The real craze of Ganesha Festival can be feel in western part especially in Mumbai where life comes to stand still and each of the people just devote themselves in making arrangement and worshipping Lord Ganesha. It is kind of celebration at every lane of Mumbai. However, the fun and enjoyment is not limited to specific place and we have entire India celebrate this occassion with love and devotion.

So if you ever plan to visit India, then do check out on the festival dates , so that you can enjoy and experience the unique cultural heritage that can be showcase at corner of the street. With onset of festival season we have many more to come in a month time including, Durga Puja, Diwali, Chatth Puja and each one of us is quite excited to make each festival successful and better like previous year.

Picture Sourced from my Friend

After worshipping a be celebration for 7 days, the idol were immersed in water ( either river or sea) sending adieu to to lovable god. Tye idol are made up of mud or from plaster of Paris. Infact now a days, people are more concerned of the environment that they started to keep eco friendlier idol in their home. That is a ritual of sending adieu by immersing them in water with dancing and loud music. Infact the entire beach of Mumbai were totally over crowded with so many immersion taking place at same time.

A fabulous view to witness the craze of the Indians.

Stay Calm....

Keep Steeming...Steem On !!!
