After a lull of two years due to coronavirus pandemic, the ten-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival began in Maharashtra and elsewhere in the country on August 31 with COVID-19 no longer casting its shadow on celebrations. Idols of Ganesha, the god of prosperity and wisdom and a slayer of obstacles, have been installed in homes as well as puja pandals across the country.
