Film and television celebrities are now in festive mode as Ganesh Chaturthi began today. The birth anniversary of Lord Ganesha is celebrated with great enthusiasm all over India, but especially in the western states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. Lord Ganesha, or more lovingly known as ‘Bappa’, is thought to be the remover of all obstacles and devotees believe that worshipping him at the start of any new endeavour will yield positive results, prosperity, and good fortune.
Stars of tinseltown also got ready to welcome Lord Ganesha into their homes and kick start the 11 days of festivities. But due to the coronavirus pandemic, even celebrations of festivals will be more low-key and personal this year. So here’s a peek at how Bollywood celebrated the festival, thanks to all the pictures they shared on social media.
