Ganesh Chaturthi is significant because it celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha. People bring handcrafted idols of Lord Ganesha in their homes which is followed by a 16 step ritual popularly known as Shodashopachara Puja. On the day of Anant Chaturdashi, the idols are immersed in water. The Hindu festival has started from September 13.
The citizens of Bollywood have joined the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations as well.
