Ganesh Chaturthi 2021 Celebrations: How Ganesh Chaturthi is Celebrated in Delhi, Mumbai, Tamil Nadu And Other States of India
India is a land full of festivals and Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Ganeshotsav or Vinayaka Chaturthi, is celebrated with much zeal and zest across the country. It’s a 10-day festival which began yesterday with the installation of Lord Ganesha idol in most households. Later, it culminates with the idol procession that leads to Ganesha Visarjan – which means immersing the idol of Ganapati Bappa in sea waters. This year, however, the Covid-19 pandemic has put a halt to large-scale celebrations for devotees in most parts of the country for the second year in a row. It’s also advised that people celebrate the festival in their homes and avoid visiting crowded places owing to the coronavirus cases. Here we have curated a list of some of the cities in India where the festival is usually celebrated with much pomp and fervour. Take a look.

Tamil Nadu
During Vinayaka Chaturthi, devotees visit different temples across Tamil Nadu, and celebrate it with great enthusiasm, by performing special aartis and pujas. Like Delhi and Maharashtra, huge pandals are also set, where gigantic Ganesh idols are installed for people to visit and offer prayers. Further, in South Indian states, Gauri or Gowri Habba is celebrated one day before Ganesh Habba or Ganesh Chaturthi. On this day, Goddess Gauri, the mother of Lord Ganesha is worshipped, and the celebration is based on the belief that first Goddess Gauri is greeted into the house of the devotee, and Lord Ganesha is welcomed the next day. As such, Tamil Nadu also starts the celebration by first worshipping Goddess Gauri. Owing to the Covid-19, this year however the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are a low key affair in the state. As per the reports, the state government has requested the public to celebrate festivals at home by avoiding crowded places and public transport travels.
