The festival typically lasts for 10 days, during which devotees bring idols of Lord Ganesha into their homes or worship at public pandals.
The celebrations include prayers, offerings of sweets like modaks, and cultural programs.
On the final day, Ganesh Visarjan, the idols are immersed in a water body to symbolize Ganesha's journey back to Mount Kailash.
Today, many devotees opt for eco-friendly idols and use artificial immersion tanks to reduce environmental impact
