Ganesh Chaturthi 2022: How Ganesh Chaturthi is observed in Indian cities?
Mumbai: Mumbai might be the first thing to come to our mind while thinking about Ganesh Chaturthi. The Indian financial capital witnesses thousands of people gathering to worship Lord Ganesha on his birthday every year.
Hyderabad: Hyderabad, Telangana is another big city where people celebrate the existence of Lord Ganesha by decorating houses, distributing sweets and doing other festivities. Kamalanagar Chaitanyapuri, Khairatabad, Balapur, Chaitanyapuri and Old City of Hyderabad (Gowlipura) are renowned areas with huge pandals.
Pune: The cultural capital of Maharashtra worships Lord Ganesha with full enthusiasm and love. There is hardly any difference between Mumbai and Pune when it comes to the love for Ganpati.
Goa: Goa might have Portuguese architecture but the spirit of the place is still Maharashtrian. The Ganeshpuri and Khandola are the famous temples where Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated.
