Ganesh, the elephant-headed son of Shiva and Parvati, is widely worshipped as the supreme god of wisdom. This festival in his honour is celebrated in the states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. To fully appreciate this occasion, one must go to Mumbai, where preparations begin months in advance. Started by Chattrapati Shivaji, the great Maratha ruler, the festival was given a new impetus by Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak to spread the message of freedom and to defy the British, who had banned public assemblies. It infused the Indians with a sense of unity and revived their patriotic spirit.
Location: All over Mumbai
