Ganesh Utsav is a ten-day festival, it begins today on Chaturthi and will be celebrated all over India. Maharashtra is a well-known destination to observe the religious celebration, as people come together on this auspicious occasion. Just like us, our idols and favourite cricketers also celebrate the festival in grand style. From the master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar to the latest sensation Hardik Pandya, everyone wished their fans on social media.

With Team India winning the 2nd ODI yesterday against Sri Lanka, clearly, the reasons for celebration has doubled up. Indian middle order batsman Suresh Raina wished his fans and followers. Opener Gautam Gambhir too used the social media platform to convey his greetings. Let’s check out who all made it a special occasion for their fans.

Once the festival gets over, the idols get immersed in water, which runs the risk of water pollution, as the idols are made of mud and also carries Plaster of Paris. The amount of mercury and cadmium severely pollutes the atmosphere.

It was recorded in 2014 that 10,000 Ganesha idols were in Mumbai pandals alone. Clearly, the festivity gets bigger and bigger. It is also believed that the popular Lalbaugcha Raja was covered with an insurance of Rs 51 crores. Lord Ganesha has around 108 names, including Vighna Harta (the remover of obstacles) and Buddhi Pradaayaka (the giver of wisdom and intellect). The festival has a tremendous following and it always lifts up the spirits of all the followers.
