What Is Ganesh Chaturthi?
Ganesh Chaturthi marks the birthday of Lord Ganesh, the elephant God. Widely celebrated across Mumbai, Ganesh Chaturthi is a festival of new beginnings, as Ganesh, the remover of obstacles, returns to Earth to clear the way for growth and positive change for all.
Each year, thousands of visitors head to Mumbai to experience the colourful celebrations.
How Did It Become So Popular?
During the time of British rule, Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai united Indians, regardless of religion or caste. Over 100 years later, it continues to be celebrated across the city. Families, neighbours, strangers and friends come together to dance in the streets, place offerings at the feet of Ganesh and pray for good fortune.
What Can I Expect from the Festival?
From miniature idols placed in domestic shrines to large Ganpati pandals in public spaces, the city becomes a living temple during Ganesh Chaturthi.
During the ten-day celebrations, lively street processions bring the city to life, with dhol players, dancing and large crowds filling the streets.
On the tenth day, thousands of Lord Ganesh idols are carried through Mumbai in spectacular processions before being immersed in the Arabian Sea.
When Does It All Take Place?
The date of the festival shifts slightly each year, as it is marked by the lunar calendar. This year, Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai starts on 14th September, with Ganesh Visarjan, the immersion of the idols, concluding the celebrations on 25th September 2026.
