Ganeshotsav is one of the most revered festivals in Mumbai. The city echoes with the ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ chants, and the streets and homes witness people coming together to participate in the festivities. However, these celebrations are not limited by geography or nationality. Expats living in Mumbai and Indians living abroad share experiences

It’s that time of the year again. Mumbai’s streets are brimming with cultural activity – devotees visiting pandals to catch a glimpse of Lord Ganesh, people thronging markets to make arrangements for the festival, families bringing Ganesh idols home as well as taking them for visarjan, and groups chanting ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ with devotion.
