Event summary

Highlights

  • 10-foot biodegradable murti of Lord Ganesh
  • 12-day cycle of prayers and celebrations
  • Traditional Virsajan immersion ceremony
The festival commences on September 14, recognized as the birthday of Lord Ganesh, and continues through a series of rituals and community gatherings. A central feature is a 10-foot-tall murti constructed from biodegradable materials. The specific design of this statue changes annually, often influenced by the spiritual visions and inspiration of the local builders in Felicity.

The observance reaches its peak on the twelfth day with the Virsajan ceremony. During this final rite, the murti is transported to a body of water for ritual immersion, symbolizing a return to the natural elements. Although the event is a significant financial undertaking for the local committee, it remains a vital annual tradition for the Hindu community, focusing on themes of wisdom and prosperity.
