The much admired and most celebrated Ganesh festival, Ganesh Chaturthi, has eventually kicked off around the country with fervor.

The festival began with devotees, largely dressed in conventional clothes, bringing colorfully-crafted Ganesh idols in their abodes and pandals and installing them amid chants of 'Ganapati Bappa Morya'.

Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayak Chaturthi, is celebrated across the country as the birthday of Lord Ganesha which comes to an end on the 11th day, people coming out in sizable numbers for immersing the idols in different water bodies.

Over the past few years, increasingly people are preferring eco-friendly idols so as not to harm the environment.
