Ganeshotsav 2024 festivities will begin on Saturday, September 7, and last for 10 days. Some worship the Ganpati idol already present at home, while others bring special idols for the festival. Some even prepare the idols themselves using clay or other eco-friendly materials
Various decorative items can be used to elevate the area around the Ganesh idol. These include flowers, garlands (toran), lights, rangolis and other items.
Despite the high cost of these flowers, many are opting for them owing to the grandeur they showcase
More devotees are now opting for flowers and other eco-friendly ways of decorations instead of the earlier-used plastic and thermocol
