The main idol of Lord Ganesha was placed on a grand pedestal, adorned with garlands and lights.  The celebration started with a traditional aarti, followed by the chanting of mantras.Pooja performed in accordance with Hindu traditions and rituals, starting with the Pranapratishtha (infusing life into the idol). Prasad is offered in the form of modaks (Lord Ganesha’s favorite sweet), fruits, and sweets. Cultural Programs: After the pooja, cultural performances were held, where children and adults participated in singing bhajans, dances, skit and recitations dedicated to Lord Ganesha. The performances brought a lively and joyful atmosphere to the event.
